SUGGESTED Q&A FOR Rita Rae Roxx (Once Upon a Rock Star book)
•
What’s your book about?
•
What’s the attraction of the eighties? Why the revival with rock of ages and the heavy metal
bands touring again?
•
Now you’ve made the transition from rock fan to soccer mom. How did that come about?
•
What does a groupie from the eighties look like today? You refer to yourself as a
professional guest, not a groupie. What’s the difference?
•
What was it like backstage? What did the rockers expect you to do? Did they have girls in
every city?
•
What were the rock stars like off stage?
•
What was the first rock concert you went to?
•
Did the rock stars expect to have girls backstage after every show?
•
What was the attraction to you with the partying and doing drugs and having sex with rock
stars?
•
Living the lifestyle these rock bands did, traveling in tour buses from city to city, hooking
up with chicks in each city, drinking after the shows, plenty of drugs available, what was
that like for them? Did any open up to you about the good and bad parts of being on the
road—or was it just a perpetual party and nobody thought about anything else?
•
These band members were great musicians. Did they ever talk about their aspirations, or
were they just living for today and that show?
•
Did you ever feel used?
•
What was the most surprising thing you discovered about these guys behind the scenes?
•
Did each band member pick which girl he wanted? How did that work? What would he say
to you to get you back to the hotel?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
80s rock revival
Backstage passes from the heavy metal bands—and the boys with big hair
Omaha, Neb. (May 11, 2012)—The boys from the heavy metal 80s rock bands are back: David Lee Roth
is hooking up—again—with Van Halen. KISS and Motley Crue are touring. And the hit Broadway musical
Rock of Ages is coming out as a summer movie.
For rock fans interested in the behind-the-scenes action that took place at their favorite 80s rock concerts is
the new book, Once Upon a Rock Star: Backstage Passes in the Heavy Metal Eighties – Big Hair, Bad Boys (and One
Bad Girl) by Rita Rae Roxx.
This rock’em-all-night-long book, to be released July 17, Once Upon a Rock Star is a behind-the-scenes sexand-tell book about the top rock bands and one little Chiquita who adored them, both on the tour buses
and in the hotels in the Midwest and in Los Angeles. You’ll read exclusive stories about David Lee Roth,
Steven Tyler, Bret Michaels, and many more rock gods.
With all the renewed interest in all things 80s, Once Upon a Rock Star rolls back the rock from three decades
ago and takes readers on a nostalgic tour backstage with the boys in the bands, the guys with big hair,
through the eyes of one bad girl from Omaha. She’s the ultimate rock fan, and she has the “passes,”
pictures, and stories to prove it.
The era of big hair is back bigtime, and this book captures the look with more than 60 off-stage photos of
the bands, original backstage passes, vintage tickets—and the juicy stories to go with them.
Who says you can’t relive the head-banging music of the 80s? No hair spray required.
