LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Connie Hamzy, a rock ‘n’ roll groupie from Arkansas who was immortalized as “sweet, sweet Connie” in the 1973 Grand Funk Railroad hit “We’re an American Band,” has died. She was 66.

She was the groupie of all groupies. Rumors always said even Bill Clinton took a ride or two.

I wonder if the chick on Almost Famous was inspired by her at all.

The chick in AF was inspired by a groupie that called herself Penny Lane...Pennie Lane Trumball.

Bonus:
Connie was MAGA AF
“ Connie Hamzy, now 63, was back in the news in October of 2016, when she rehashed the sexual episode with Bill Clinton. She took a polygraph test about the alleged Clinton scandal and mailed the results over to Donald Trump’s campaign, who she gave her full support to.”

She was 18 when the song became a hit. How old was she when was "doing her act"?

15…

quote:

Hamzy was only 15 years old when she was with her first rock star, the drummer for Steppenwolf, Jerry Edmonton. Then she moved onto to Keith Moon of The Who and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin.

Drummers soon became her niche. “The drummers gravitated to me because they wanted to hear about John Bonham and Keith Moon,” she told Howard Stern in an interview. There was one drummer who got away, though. “I haven’t had Neal Pert. That I regret,” she said.

According to Clinton, Hamzy had approached him in a hotel lobby, flipped down her bikini top, and asked him, "What do you think of these?" George Stephanopoulos secured affidavits from three people who had been accompanying Clinton and confirmed Clinton's recollection.

Connie was a whore. You can use the P.C. version, "Groupie", but let's be honest and call her what she was.

Except they're not the same thing.

Whores are in it for the money, whoever it comes from. Groupies are celebrity chasers who pursue the spotlight of fame.
