A term coined by a British journalist in the 50′s, the word groupie is now synonymous with backstage female hanger-on’s who ply band members, athletes, theatre actors or even comedians with sexual favors post-show. Almost always one hundred percent female-though there are certainly gay men who will ply a famous singer or hockey player with a blow job-the girls who service the boys-in-the-band or the sports star in the back of the bus, are almost always young comely creatures dressed to reveal their ample charms and wily ways. Famed in song and story, infamous in legend and on the local landscape, groupies have been part of the live performance scene, no matter what the performance is, for as long as anyone can recall.
It was in the 60′s though, with the meteoric popularity of rock and roll when groupies began to gain notoriety of not actual celebrity above and beyond the specific medium they played in. Because of the mercurial nature of isolated rock stars, often thousands of miles from home, women providing these rock gods who with a meal, a possibility of clean laundry and a soft willing pussy for the night suddenly began to be able to demand their price. And their price would include drugs, clothes and jewelry; unlimited travel to and from the gigs where their boyfriend was coming to and fro from; and most importantly spending time with popular musician and having his attention in and out of bed. Being a consort of the king, even if there was more then one king any given week jetting through Los Angeles, De Moines or New York City, these women held an exalted position even if it was transitory.
This was also before the time of HIV and other dangerous STD’s so rampant today. If a woman was taking her birth control pills, then truly there wasn’t much to worry about with casual sexual contact other then a passing around a case of VD, easily cured with some penicillin injections. A Hedonistic lifestyle, a constant party and orgies of paralleled size and indulgence was the girl’s life as long as she could sustain her libido or keep her musician happy for as long a she stayed in her town. Competition fierce, with ass, tits and cunts being thrown at him in a never-ending barrage of pink firm parts, the rock gentry had his pick of whichever groupie took his fancy.
These days the scene has much quieted. The ravages of time have seen groupies married or retired, or both. Rock stars are either too old to partake in such running around are married or not touring any longer and whole new generation of musician, sports star and the women who want them have replaced the older generation.
