"GOTTA PROBLEM?" ASK Ms. Pamela Des Barres★: ★World's Highest Authority On ★ANYTHING★ Groupie Relates, ★We Assure You★. Tessa Writes, Hello Miss Pamela, I have just finished reading “Let’s Spend the Night Together” & am in the middle of reading “I’m with the Band”...my gosh it’s a pleasure to read you; you really lived a fascinating life!! I envy you and I’m pretty sure if I lived in your times (I’m 19) I would have been exactly like you. I do have one question, do you know if any of you ex- lovers have read your books? Because it’s seems you have been hurt a lot by some boys (Jimmy Page, Chris Hillman..) and I was wondering if maybe they ever felt bad about their past behavior (after reading you) and ended up asking forgiveness to you? Thanks again for sharing your experiences and Keep On Rockin Tessa Good question! Nobody was mad at me and when Rolling Stone asked Mick Jagger if he’d read the book, he said “I was there…” haha! Mr. Hillman has gone a bit square but I’ll love him forever… X Kisses, Pamela Andrea Writes, I too am a Canadian groupie and an aspiring writer. When I was 17 I read “I’m with the Band”. You changed my life. It would be an honor to take one of your classes. I’m currently writing a screenplay it’s a comedy. I’m hoping to write my next screenplay on my own chronicles. I have to know how did you deal with the heartbreak? I am grateful to have experienced what I have still I wonder what if things happened differently. Time is the only healer when you’re dealing with heartbreak. It’s happened to me a whole bunch just like everyone else. Of course, you have to love yourself first and foremost and don’t put yourself through too much grief… Sign up for my Skype class July 8-9! FUN! Miss P XX
Marta Writes, Pamela I have to say you are amazing you’re such an inspiration to me and you’ve shown me what it was like to live in the most beautiful period – the 60s and 70s. To tell you the truth I am jealous … REALLY JEALOUS. I was born too late…and if it wasn’t for you I would have never figured out how fucked up music and the world are today. .
Your books … they help me escape the reality… I can close my eyes and see myself on the Jimi Hendrix concert or standing in front of Jim Morrison … thank you Pamela… if it wasn’t for you I would have gone mad really thank you are my hero. Thank you thank you thank you! But there is some great music still being made! Jack White, Todd Snider, Rhett Miller, Lucinda Williams, and the greats still playing, Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Sir McCartney…but I agree, we really could use a hot,hot,hot, new hardcore yummy rock band! Love, Pamela Tonina Writes, Dear Miss Pamela! You know, there are some books that you read and you swear you’ll never read them again; you want to forget what you read. That’s not the case with “I’m with the band”. That book was just... aaarh! I couldn’t stop reading it! It left some deep trails in my mind. I admire you so much! It takes courage to put all your life down on the paper and just stand behind what you wrote. You’re like some kind of role model for me. You chased your dreams no matter what. You wanted something and you got it! That’s worth admiring. I wish I have just a little bit of that self-confidence you got. You’re still astonishing as you were when you were in your 20-s. You still have such a sincere smile and I believe you’re not regretting any of what you done. Why would you? Keep on smiling and keep on rocking Miss P. Hugs and kisses form Croatia!
