#1 Rock stars were extremely popular in the 1960s, and teenage girls like Pamela were obsessed with them. She was especially fond of the Beatles’ Paul McCartney, and she began daydreaming about him sexually.

#2 The rules of this world had been codified by the 1980s, and MTV was thriving. Rock stars outlived the Los Angeles scene that Des Barres chronicled, and they outlived the eighties as well.

#3 The rock-star era began around the time that Des Barres’s diary became more explicit, in the late 1960s. She began throwing her favorite musicians over for others, who were definitely rock stars.

#4 In the 1970s, many musicians and listeners seemed to share Landau’s and Bangs’s sense that rock ’n’ roll was decomposing or disintegrating. And many of them responded by doubling down and insisting that rock ’n’ roll was not just a musical category but an identity.
