Honestly, his girlfriend at the time bothers me more than he does. At least he has the excuse of being a rock star living in La La Land, which seems to mess with the common sense of all but the most grounded individuals. But given that she seemed to be in much the same situation as the girl, I'd think that she'd have a clearer picture of what was what and should have intervened. I don't know if she just accepted it and internalized the rock star logic cause she wanted to keep up her lifestyle, or she was (is) a dumb party girl completely out of touch with reality by nature. Clearly from that last pic---if that's the same girlfriend from the vid, and she does look like her---she not only accepted the arrangement, but "joined in the fun" too.

She really wasn't his girlfriend. She was his California hookup for sure. She was originally a member of Zappa's GTOs and lived a pretty incredible young life.

This is a pretty great read if you want to step into the way back machine and get a feel for what SoCal was like during the late 60s, early 70s.



And she's remained friends with the guys to this day.

I try not to think about the personal lives of the musicians I listen to. Their music should be able to stand or fall on its own merits.
