In her debut column for PleaseKillMe.com, Pamela Des Barres, bestselling author and legendary rock & roll groupie takes the way-back machine to the Altamont Free Concert in December 1969. Pamela tells the story of a foreboding Tarot card reading that Keith Richards had prior to the festival, and her decision to leave the concert early after “boorish” encounters with the Hells Angels security. She shares her first-person account of the absolute anguish in the Stones’ hotel room after the event that has been called “rock’s darkest day”.
