“I’d always thought I’d lived in a real important, interesting, fascinating place and time on the Sunset Strip in the ’60s, so I’d always known I was going to write this thing.” The speaker’s (Miss) Pamela (Miller) Des Barres, and the “thing” she was so certain she’d write is I’m With The Band, a memoir about her adventures as Hollywood’s most avid (and best-liked) groupie between the early days of Led Zeppelin and the waning days of glitter, wherein the reader learns what it’s like to be eaten by Mick Jagger, gently tricked into conferring a hand job to Captain Beefheart, rescued from Trimar abuse by Jim Morrison, and seduced and abandoned by Jimmy Page, to give just a few of the more luscious examples.
