Groupies Autobiographies

Rock of Ages is out this weekend, and if there was anything the glam metal rockers of the '80s were known for — besides their big hair and sweet music — it was their groupies. These half-naked superfans were a lot edgier (and hopefully older) than the Beliebers of today.

We got another glimpse at an even earlier generation of groupies on Mad Men last season. In the Mad Men episode "Tea Leaves," Don Draper does his best to get backstage at the Rolling Stones concert. Dressed like "the man" in his suit and tie, a look his much younger wife describes as "square," Don and fellow ad man Harry Crane set out to try to get the Stones to sign on for a Heinz campaign. Instead of meeting the band, the pair hangs backstage with some teenage girls smoking joints — groupies! As we've come to expect from Mad Men, the show gave us a glimpse into the 1960s and its defining pop cultural characteristics. But if you want to know more about the real-life ladies who inspired the reference, here are eight groupie autobiographies to get in bed with.
