Back in the late 1980s Pamela Des Barres caused quite a stir
in both the music and literary worlds when she released her groupie magna carta,
I’m With the Band where she gave the
world the lowdown on the backstage antics of the ladies who try anything to get
some rocker satisfaction; the groupie.
It was during that same period that the next generation of
rocker seeking chicks came of age; with the birth of MTV and the seemingly
non-stop need for a steady stream of rock video chicks that came with it, came the
rise of the video vixen. Front and center in this parade of big haired, big
boobed, babes was Bobbie Brown; who is out with her new bio, Dirty Rocker Boys:
Love and Lust on the Sunset Strip.
Made famous by her appearance in LA hair metal favorites
Warrant’s ode to….a…um…lady bits, Cherry
Pie, complete with leering front man, and Brown’s future husband, Jani Lane
and quite naturally big, juicy, slices of cherry pie. Brown recounts many of
the videos she graced and the rockers she chased. The tale of the former pageant
princess rings very familiar to many bios of the rockers she loved and lusted
after featuring plenty of body fluid swapping and a healthy dose of name
dropping.
Like so many of those rocker tales, Brown also features many
of the same kinds of missteps, addictions and downfalls. The bit players along
the way include a cavalcade of infamous celebs including; Lane, Motely Crue’s
Tommy Lee, who was engaged to Brown right up until his Oceanside beach wedding
to Baywatch’s Pamela Anderson, and a young, quick on the draw, Leonardo
DiCaprio.
If you’re looking for Mensa-like insight, you’ll need to
look elsewhere; if you want heaping helping of cheesecake and cheese, this will
be right up your alley.
