(Axis 360)
Finished Sa 5/6/17
Loved the book and listened to numerous interviews with her. She never reveals anything about her personal life. Two children, but I'm not even sure if they are boys or girls. A daughter (I think) by Ray Davies, and the only thing that she mentions of this relationship is that they always fight. Over what? And, he was a musical idol to her since she was a young teenager and she finally becomes involved with him, yet she never mentions him.
Lemmy important for her career
Malcolm Mclaren and Vivienne Westwood friends and important figures
Must always keep moving
Some years of high school in Mexico
Spent time in Paris after high school
Very much a militant vegetarian
The bass player, Pete Farndon is expelled from the band for drug abuse. Three days later, the guitarist, James Honeyman-Scott dies of a cocaine related death. Ironic.
More of a fan than a musician. Saw most of the sixties bands.
A big deal was made of her rape. She got wasted on quaaludes and hangs out with bikers. She tries to take some responsibility for this, and the feminists took her to task. They feel that she somehow is condoning the bikers actions because she voluntarily put herself in a dangerous position.
Akron Ohio native
'The VegiTerranean' was the name of her vegan restaurant in Akron.
Married to Ray Davis, then Jim Kerr of Simple Minds. Then, an artist named Lucho Brieva. None of this info was in the book, but I found it on the internet.
