The Scene
Rock Power—
That's the Scene, Baby…
THE SCENE is Steve Paul's New York Scene, mecca to the stars and the superstars and the starry-eyed star-crazed groupies—that phenomenon of the rock subculture who'll do anything to anybody to have a chance at the Big One.
The Scene is the wild rock world around us—of festivals and Fillmores, all-night sessions in recording studios, and one-night stands in small hotels. Of glaring light and garish clothes and sex and sounds and the Stones and the stoned.
And the scene is where it's at for Lori Thomas, groupie, who'd sell her soul for a moment of madness with Gino Henley—Gino Henley, brightest star in the rock constellation, whose brutal humiliation of Lori results, paradoxically, in the birth of a new superstar.
The Scene is all these things and more. It is the authentic sound of rock, the voice of the new stoned age. It is the hardcore of the tuned-in, turned-on rock generation—electric from the top of its head to the tip of its guitar—transcribed and amplified in a crackling supercharged documentary novel.
