  • Love it!

    I just started listening. I love the stories. These stories were the background of my youth in the 1970s. David Bowie and Led Zeppelin were at rock god level. Our lives revolved around when the next album would come out or concert dates. The stories about the groupies gives you the background information that was barely mentioned, even in publications like The Rolling Stone. I had no idea how young and bold and creative these girls were. So interesting.

    I liked the story about the ‘Louie Lo... more

  • Not the right tone

    I read “I’m with the band“ when it first came out as a memoir because I’m interested in pop memoir. I was troubled by the tone of this podcast making this particular moment “fun.“ I agree with the reviewers who take issue with the notion that the groupies self empowered young women. They fashioned themselves that way and the podcast bought into that delusion. Yes, there’s a layer of fun and self discovery, but I think the bigger story is much darker. I wanted to explore questions I had when I re... more

  • Great Job

    Nevermind the haters and reactionary reviews- this was nuanced, well considered storytelling that didn’t reduce its subjects to victims but also didn’t totally gloss over the tragic aspects of the scene. Narrators felt rooted in LA history.

    This is a very sad, frustrating season which concludes illogically.

  • Wrong Title

    Should be called stories of musical pedophiles. Is it really cool that 29 year old guy is chasing a 14 year old? That’s so messed up. Now I know these guys are a bunch sickos. Love to see them questioned about it.
