Top Groupies Of All Time: Bebe Buell


Bebe Buell is probably the most gorgeous of all groupies, although she says she prefers the term 'muse.' Now, I'm not quite sure what songs she has inspired, besides Chester French's "Bebe Buell" and those Elvis Costello songs on Armed Forces she claims to have been the inspiration for. (Elvis said most of the songs on the album were already written before she came along, and I tend to believe him). But as far as I'm concerned, if your list of musician lovers is more than 3, then my dear, you are a GROUPIE. There's nothing wrong with that. Most of the people I know would be groupies too, don't deny it. I mean who doesn't want to hang out with musicians? Because that's what groupies do, that's the original meaning for it anyway. Now, if you want to sleep with them, well, that's up to you, er, them? Whatever. Anyroad, besides being arm-candy for 70's rockers, Bebe also had a career as a model back when she was 'god-head'. She was just 17, you know what I mean, when she caught the eye of Todd Rundgren and thus began her rock and roll life. Currently Bebe is the singer in a band, ob-la-di, ob-la-da. (You should know that I manage to stick the Beatles into everything I do, it's a gift really).

Holiday in Tenerife 1963

While John was off galavanting with Brian Epstein in Spain, Paul, George, and Ringo decided to take a well deserved vacation with Astrid Kirchherr and Klaus Voorman in Tenerife. Here are some of the pictures they took during that trip.
