Um, he probably does have groupies. They still exist. I actually have a friend whose sister resigned from her excellent, high-paying, highly stressful job to become a groupie for some indie band. I have no idea why, but she was quite frugal when she actually was taking life seriously, so she can afford it.
But the groupie story I referenced was from either the very late 70s or very early 80s. The band was working on an album...don't ask me which one because I haven't got the attention span to remember those details when it was just a glance-read. But there was a story. I am sure a better Lindsey fan than myself can post it.
