Rock and roll means many things to its various practitioners, but for decades now one of the key reasons a teenaged boy will pick up a guitar is to get girls. Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Todd Rundgren, Iggy Pop, Elvis Costello, David Bowie and Jimmy Page all fell under Buell's spell, with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler fathering Buell's famous actress daughter. Victor Bockris is the author of Uptight: The Story of the Velvet Underground and What's Welsh for Zen: The Autobiography of John Cale.He lives in New York City.Bebe Buell, mother of Liv Tyler, never liked the word "groupie" - she prefers to describe herself as a "muse" when discussing her serial romantic relationships with rock stars.
