Rock Wives: The Hard Lives and Good Times of the Wives, Girlfriends, and Groupies of Rock and Roll (Used - Good Condition).
If you want to know how Jim Morrison's romance REALLY started with Patricia Kenneally, and what she REALLY thought of him, read this book! It doesn't have all the bile of her own book on Morrison ("Strange Days: My Life With and Without Jim Morrison"). If you've read "Strange Days", then you should read "Rock Wives" because that is the REAL truth. Thankfully condensed, minus the vitriole, ranting, raving, and stretched-truths. It's very interesting to read a book like "Strange Days" (where the author trashes Oliver Stone for implying Jim Morrison didn't take his "marriage" to her seriously) then read a book like "Rock Wives", where Kennealy ADMITS to Victoria Balfour that Jim Morrison took their wedding ceremony "probably not too seriously". Gee, maybe THAT'S why Stone portrayed things the way he did....he read Victoria Balfour's book first, which was published in 1986! I guess Kennealy wasn't so intent on wearing rose-tinted specticles back then. :)
Also fascinating: frank discussions with the likes of Myra Lewis (Jerry Lee Lewis' "child bride"), Linda Lawrence Leach (mother of Brian Jones' baby, married to Donovan Leitch), Anita Pallenberg (Brian Jones, Keith Richards, of course!), Jo Howard (Ron Wood, Rolling Stones), Angie Bowie (David Bowie), Marilyn Wilson (Brian Wilson, Beach Boys), Gail Zappa (Frank Zappa), Monika Dannemann (Jimi Hendrix, last girlfriend before he died), Ingrid Croce (Jim Croce), Bebe Buell (Todd Rundgren, Rod Stewart, Elvis Costello...Bebe also has her own book now, "Rebel Heart"), Leslie Meat Loaf (Meat Loaf), Lee Angel (Little Richard), Susan Rotolo (Bob Dylan), Claudette Robinson (Smokey Robinson), Carlene Carter (Nick Lowe), Vera Ramone (Dee Dee Ramone), and David Wolff (the lone male interviewee, Cyndi Lauper). There is a chapter for each interviewee, and several pictures of each.
Author Victoria Balfour has worked as a researcher for The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and New York magazine, and has had articles published in the New York Times, Esquire, and USA Today. Here are fabulous, revealing, exclusive interviews with the women closest to the stars of rock and roll, lots of great quotes!!! Thank you, Victoria Balfour, for a job well done!
