I slept with a rock star (that term, though, ugh) this summer and I’m still emotionally messed up. I don’t idolise this person but I do like him very much. I’m not a groupie so I wasn’t emotionally prepared for the experience. We spoke for a couple of hours and then you can guess what happened. The hotel room was…

The fact that Mattix says she was happy about the experience doesn’t remotely absolve Bowie.

Last year I read a couple of groupie memoirs

A literal oxpecker would no doubt be a Who groupie who specialized in John Entwistle. (Just had to make that joke.)

So they’re okay with that sort of relationship? They can’t be hoping for more at this point so what do they get out of it, exactly?

I would like to know who those bands were so I could give them all the respect they deserve.

Last year I read a couple of groupie memoirs and I recall one, in particular, who seemed to be trying to force the “wow, it was so awesome” theme onto what mostly seemed like coming of age floundering.

He’s kind of creeping me out. His body looks like some weirdly fit 70 year old you see doing calisthenics in the park. He just looks weirdly aged in general, like if you dunked the Most Interesting Man in Just For Men and let him dry in the sun.

he definitely missed all legs days.

Omfg, his tiny lil calves!

This may be my weird brand of Church Lady Feminism talking, but what is wrong with these young women that they allow themselves to be treated this way?

Seriously, you think he’s sexy? I think he looks like a deranged Marlboro Man.

Great, now my eyes have chlamydia.

Even if he was a decent human being, his huge creepy veneers would be enough to squick me out.

She posed on Mitch McConnell?
