Over 150 reviews of this book on Amazon convey reader's opinions in more depth than I can share on this blog. I felt a combination of sympathy for Ms Buell and distaste for her actions if they are all true as written. Bebe states she never missed a holiday.Īs a single working mom I gave up my show biz job and settled down with a 8-5pm day job to give my daughter stability and a nice home life. Her daughter was well cared for as stated in her book by her cousin Annie, Bebe's mother and Todd Rundgren. I felt sorry for her in that she never seemed to get the reality of what really matters.
Yes Bebe was a successful fashion model and I do give her credit for that work. It angered me that her ghost writer did not edit this book into something more self protective. Closing the book I was left feeling that after all the drama, pain, tears and confusion described in detail, all that was left was a traumatized girl still looking for an unconditional love. I felt sadness for what seemed to me a rudderless existence. I really felt angry and wanting to scream at Bebe and then after sleeping on it I felt differently. I wish she had met my wonderful therapist. This is where a strong belief in yourself and a good base in ethics is necessary.Īfter reading her book I felt that Ms Buell never quite figured out that she was stuck in a proverbial tar pit of poor choices.
On many different levels this book angered me. I picked up Bebe Buell's autobiography "Rebel Heart" to read Monday. Maya left her cage and I left mine behind too. A true story on Maya's life in poverty and eventual stardom in the arts. Of this genre my favorite book of all is " I know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou. Love biographies, especially from brilliant artistic women of history. I was always on a quest for rock 'n' roll."Īs I love to read retro fabulous books about the rock generation I began reading this book for inspiration for future blog posts. In fact, to me, it's the hardest part of a relationship. In addition to Bebe's sexual exploits with celebrities (the list is long highlights include David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart), she served as a muse and actual wordsmith, recording with the Cars in 1980: "I was never on a quest for sex itself.
