Rock and Roll High School:
Growing up in Hollywood During the
Decade of Decadence
By Marisa Tellez
(softcover) $14.36
Here is a guilty pleasure…In fact, it’s a lot like
reading your sister’s diary. Tellez offers a true
coming of age story about growing up on the
Sunset Strip in the ‘80s, when glam rock and
hair metal were the rage. Of course, recalling
that era through the eyes of a young girl gives
it a unique spin.
Most interestingly,
the book chronicles
a time when people
actually interacted
face to face, unlike
today in the age of
Social Media. A big
question, though,
is how she kept her
virginity intact despite
her adventures with a
variety of musicians.
But, there’s a sequel
on the way—so we
may just find out.
