My Short Stint As A Groupie


In college, I had a short stint as a groupie. Particularly for Peter Murphy, but the insanity still followed with other bands.

I can thank my friend Travis for realizing my true groupie potential. He tapped into some fierce determined gene in me to be all the groupie I can be. I wasn't quite a groupie to the extent of Dead Heads, but I definitely had many trials and tribulations.

Getting hotel rooms where the band stayed, waiting by the back entrance of venues, camping out for tickets, following the tour to a few places, risking lives in Dallas traffic in pursuit of the elusive tour bus and other completely insane acts of groupiness. Unlike a couple of my "friends", I did not sleep with any band members, so I am still a "virgin".

So, sit back, relax, click on the ticket (or link) and take a tour of complete madness and mayhem.
