I couldnt put the book down

I strongly urge all women to buy this book, I couldnt put it down. Pamela is so bravely honest about her life and writes as if your talking to your best friend one on one. I found myself going on a journey with her in this book. For those who need to know how hot Mick Jagger was calm down its in there but theres so much more to this woman. Her positive vibrant spirit jumps out at you within these pages, a spirit that as you read the book your drawn to and you just want her to keep writing more. Pamela is so very creative in her writing she makes you feel every ounce of her experience. In this book you can really relate to her in so many ways and we can all gain by her positive strength and spirit. Pamela shines a white light, a light that will leave you wanting more. This is a must read, you'll enjoy every moment, every page every word and even though Pamela has led a limelight life you can still relate to her as a woman on a journey. I couldnt put it down and Im a hard cookie to crack. I cant wait for her write again.

A Fun, Fun, Fun Read!!

What a great read!! I loved every page of this book!! Pamela writes so honestly and shares so much personal stuff in a way that boggles my mind. I wouldn't have the courage to write and publish a book this personal. Her writing is insightful, strong and laugh out loud funny.

Great Sequel

Pamela DesBarres' first book "I'm with the Band" is one of my favorite books ever - and this sequel is fabulous as well. I love Miss Pamela's honesty, humor, writing style and positive sunny outlook on life. She is an inspiration! I have re-read this book almost as many times as her first book - I just love it! What an amazing life (so far) - I am so glad she chooses to share her life experiences with the rest of us.

Fun, intriguing, well written and rockin'

I loved this book!! What an interesting follow up to her first book. Pamela Des Barres has the most enticing writing style - like you're dishing with a good friend and hanging on her every word. As a woman of similar history, it was so intriguing to see how all her earlier adventures played out as time went on and how her amazing spirit continued to shine through it all. What an uplifting person - how lucky we are that she has the writer's gift and has chosen to share her incredible story and energy with us. A must read for those with a rock-n-roll heart.

Why is this book out of print?

I just read this book, having recently won a copy on eBay. What a shame it is no longer in print; much as I loved I'm With the Band, I enjoyed this well-written sequel even more for its incisive, introspective look at evolving as a person and learning to make peace with the past. To all the hypocrites who condemn Pamela Des Barres as an immoral bimbo, I say, we've all had incidents in our past, sexual and otherwise, that we are not necessarily proud of or would have done differently had we been older and wiser. Des Barres was extremely brave to chronicle her failing marriage, becoming a mother, death of her father, search for spirituality, and learning to see her own shortcomings-codependency and avoidance of confrontation at any cost-with brutal honesty as well as a sense of humor and optimism. Details of Des Barres' Hollywood lifestle, such as being friends with such celebrities as the Zappa family and many others, also makes this book a fascinating read. However, what really hit home for me were the universal experiences that every human being goes through: the journey of finding one's sense of self-worth and purpose, learning to work through life's pain and setbacks to be strong and change for the better (always easier said than done!),and learning to find joy in every moment of every day. Pamela Des Barres, with her hard-won inner strength, sweet nature and spirit of adventure, is truly an inspiration.
