She also continued rocking releasing two albums "Sugar" and "Hard Love" while performing in the Northeast area of the United States.
Some of the film's dialogue is taken from direct quotes of Bebe's that Crowe had remembered from their friendship which began in 1973.īebe also completed her autobiography, the New York Times Bestseller "Rebel Heart An American Rock And Roll Journey" (St, Martin's Press) with Victor Bockris in 2001. The record was a forceful, fun, rocking return to form for Bebe with a mix of impeccable cover choices and catchy original songs.Īround the start of the 21st century, Cameron Crowe released the film "Almost Famous" which is heavily based on certain elements of Bebe's life. In 1994 she blazed back into the music world, released a CD and coined a new word with "Retrosexual" a punk/hard rock underground classic. But at this time, someone in Bebe's personal life was about to take center stage. He had the band open for The Ramones and offers of record deals followed. The Gargoyles caught the eye of Joey Ramone. These performances cemented Bebe's reputation as a front person to be reckoned with. They released the influential underground singles "Jacuzzi Jungle" and "Gargoyle" (1987) and toured heavily in the U.S. Following this Bebe formed a new, tougher group, The Gargoyles the female fronted hard rock unit that was somewhat ahead of its time. After this Bebe formed a new group, the B-Sides who released a pure pop 12 inch picture disc "A Side of the B-Sides" (1983) produced by Bebe's former beau Todd Rundgren. Bebe's pure love of music and natural sense of cool come through on these recordings.
