Description

<p>Rodney Bingenheimer&rsquo;s English Disco. The Continental Hyatt House. The Rainbow Bar &amp; Grill. Glam rock was the genre du jour and there was no more convenient or welcoming a circuit for an intrepid teenage groupie to land in than the Strip in the early 1970s. As for Led Zeppelin, LA became their spiritual home-away-from-home (read: wives).
