Pamela Des Barres' Pajama Party with Randy Jackson Sep 12, 2024

Hey fabulous rock-n-roll lovers!

In this sizzling episode we dive into the exhilarating world of Zebra with the iconic Randy Jackson. Randy shares a hilarious and somewhat frustrating band practice mishap where one bandmate insisted on playing "Aqualung" during "Suffragette City," even flaunting a Jack-o'-lantern grin with his loose tooth cap. Through trials and tribulations, including an impromptu sorority gig that defined their band name as "Zebra," Randy's narratives gleam with humor and resilience. The band experienced growing pains and successes, from hopping the New Orleans scene to making waves in New York, eventually charming Atlantic Records with their distinct sound and rocking hit "Who's Behind the Door?"

Join us as Randy delves into the magic of songwriting, the influence of greats like The Beatles and Bob Dylan, and the rock-n-roll hustle that’s kept Zebra touring for decades. With anecdotes about almost touring with Jefferson Airplane and the comical confusion with the other famous Randy Jackson, this episode is a treasure trove for music aficionados. Plus, there’s exciting news about Zebra’s upcoming album, the first since 2001. So, grab your PJs and gather 'round as we celebrate the legacy of rock with tales that will make your heart sing and your feet tap.

Pamela Des Barres' Pajama Party with Mike Stinson Aug 01, 2019

Miss Pamela is visited by her former boyfriend American singer-songwriter and musician Mike Stinson. A native of Virginia, Mike Stinson moved to Los Angeles in 1991. Inspired by the country rock of Gram Parsons, as well as more traditional country artists such as Johnny Cash and George Jones, he began to write songs and eventually formed his own band.

Kick back with Mike on the couch as he plays a private show for Miss Pamela and for you, including this great setlist:

Draw the LineLate Great Golden StateCounting my Lucky StarsLove Came to MeBox I Take to WorkYou Don't Get Nothing DoneBeauty Queen Eyes

Despite her infamy as “the World’s Most Famous Groupie” or “Queen of the Groupies,” Pamela Des Barres has many other facets, fascinations and unique talents. Known mostly for her heady dalliances and friendships with classic rock’s elite dandies in the 60s and 70s, she presciently kept copious diaries about those madcap revolutionary days and nights. Pamela has written four books, I’m With the Band, Take Another Little Piece of My Heart, (autobiographies) Rock Bottom: Dark Moments in Music Babylon, and most recently, Let’s Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies.

She has been teaching ongoing women’s writing workshops in Los Angeles and all over the country for twelve years, inspiring like-minded dolls to share their desire, stories and ideas in a totally safe environment. She calls these writing parties “Groupie Therapy.” And as an ordained minister, Pamela performs unique one-of-a-kind rock & roll weddings!
