Review of Groupies (1970) by C P — 09 Feb 2018

Very gritty, hard to understand much of what's said bc of the amount of substances used before and during...The 'bi' male groupies were more interesting to me bc there's so little known and they had a vulnerability that the jaded female groupies lacked. I actually like C. Plaster Caster, and her ethereal protege. Page came off as a typical pompass Brit regarding her 'art, and from a man with a penchant for whips seemed to be a bit of effrontery, mumbling about 'Oh I was willing to accept it until now,' like it's a theory not an actual process, funny given his predilection for Crowley...

The two the piece starts with are startlingly crass and the ensuing party where a 'performance art piece' is playing out after watching a runaway teen talking about what a gas it was to do coke and give indiscriminate head with Zepplin the first tour they did in the states, whips and all "such a gas!" With as much excitement a tired and worn young woman on herion could muster... Takes a LOT of the idealized candy-coating by the GTOs, BGs, and Beb!tch, ALTHOUGH this does follow a c/b- band for the most part...
