38 - Don’t Ignore the Groupies

from SLAM: Music Survival Guide

Alysen Rowse, author of “We've Got Tonight, The Life and Times of Notorious Groupie, Alysen Rowse,” joins us to talk about life, death, sex, drugs, fun, dangers, highs, and lows in the music world. Lyrics reference: Van HalenYou need the groupies, you need the laughter back. Without them, rock and roll is boring.“And if you feel unsafe, you know, the road is a family. You call the tour manager.”“It’s because the corporate world has taken over. And when that happens, the Rock and Roll dies.” Alycen was with John Entwistle when he died. She talks about that awful situation and the aftermath. Many, many musician names are recalled - - from Hip-Hop, Country, Rock, Metal, Grunge. . . “Did you say ‘Dave Gahan?’”“Not every band can hold the egos together.”Alycen Rowse LinktreeThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
