From the diary of Miss Pamela

Having haad a break from "I'm with the band" to re-read Pride and Prej, i got back into it last night. Some interesting insights....

Just after a wild night with Jagger ".....Such a beautiful, wonderful time I've had, but i wish i had someone to cuddle with every night. If only I could settle for some normal groovy guy. Good Heavens, he'll have to be some super-human person because right now, the only people I could see myself being with are (get this) Mick (how absurd), Jimmy (useless) or Chris (totally unthinkable). What a pathetic case. Why can't I meet a nice engineer or CPA? It's too late now"

Miss P is so crazy for Jimmy Page but he is kinda using her. She is also questioning her position in the whole scene after a few things.
"I often wonder how i get so carried away, to the extent where i forget what is important, what matters.....everyone is grand, they're just taking different pathways to ultimately the same goal (even if sone aren't aware of it. In the creators eyes Jimmy Page is no better than a skid row bum. NOW we come to my preference; tho' they are NO BETTER than lawyers, doctors, engineers, mechanics..I dig musicians. There are girls who dig sailors, you could call them 'sailories', chicks who dig doctors, 'doctories'. So, go ahead, call me a groupie"

And so the pining after the wicked Mr Page continues (i can understand where she is coming from.
"Oh my sweet blonde head is forever in fluffy pink clouds of make believe. God help me as I go through another empty month of trying too hard to forget his beautiful black-as-night hair and his imcomparable loveliness created in Gods finest hand. Who is there for me? Every relationship ends in utter emptiness: Nick St. Nicholas, Mr Hillman and James. I should marry a CPA or a ditch digger in Iowa"

It is such a tremendous book. In a way i hope they don't make it into a film because then it will be everyones story and not hers. Everyone will think they feel some solidarity, when in fact they don't. They can't. "They don't understand what it means to blindly love some silly piece of music... or some band so much that it hurts..." (ah, my favourite quote)

However, i find lately, the trouble is not with the bands, but with those on the gravy train.....what to do with the drunken wanna be lawyer.

I need some tunes....
