This week we delve into the world of groupies with music journalist and all-around amazing gal Erica Campbell. We cover everything from the heyday of groupies in the late 60s to 70s focusing heavily on the queen of groupies herself Pamela Des Barres to what it means to be a groupie in the modern world. Are all women who are involved in music really groupies? We unpack that sentiment. From the dolls of the 70s to Alexa Chung coining leaning into the term "professional groupie" to the girls on MySpace letting their Warped Tour hero boytoys lead them to the power and fame they so rightfully deserve, groupies come in all shapes and sizes. Join us for an incredible discussion into what it really means to be a groupie.
