So, being a groupie is a good thing?

All I said was THANK YOU.
I think the entire double standard IN SOCIETY is a load of crap.
I don't see a problem with casual sex, as long as you're safe.
I don't think anyone who HAS casual sex is low and awful.
I think LIARS are low and awful.
Aagh; you're a HEDGE! -

Here's a game the two daughters can play. Turn on a classic rock station and listen to an hour-block of music. If their mother sucked the censor of five or more singers featured during that hour, they win!

Wow. So many ridiculous, judgemental comments in this thread. It's laughable, really. If you're judging these characters just because they used to have sex with rock stars then I think you missed the point of the movie entirely. As for the "do it true!" statement, it's a good sentiment that was unfortunately marred by the poor delivery of a bad actress. Luckily Erika Christensen isn't landing any major roles anymore. She was the worst thing about this movie. Goldie and Susan had great chemistry, that's what really carried the movie imo.

Oh my, some of the posts and replies here are truly interesting.
So the facts are, no Groupies are not Prostitutes in that they do not get paid for sex, but some Groupies do have sex with road crew to get to bands which some may see as the same thing! Its usually a last resort though. They will also sleep with any band member, they are usually not choosy!
Groupies and Fans are two different things, Groupies sleep with band members more as a 'claim to fame' (check out Vinnie & Suzette's 'Rock Cock Collection'), they also do tend to know the band members having hung around for a while (not all, but most). They generally look down on the Fans however do not realise that the Fans look down on them!
Also with reference to the person who said things were different back in the 60s nothing has really changed as far as Groupies go whether its the 60s or 2009!
As far as Fans go they are just into seeing/following bands but they don't have sex with them, and yes Groupies are promiscuous, I can also tell you that they are very very unpopular with hard line Fans. And the bands always know which is which!
However the crucial thing is and this is the Suzette/Vinnie thing Groupies do not see themselves as doing anything wrong, they are basically just out for a good fun time. Unfortunately they can't see themselves for how they are seen by others, just someone to have quick free meaningless sex with.
Could say more but will leave it there - and before anyone comments unnecessarily, no I don't happen to have ever been a Groupie, however I have moved in the music industry most of my life and have seen it all. -

i dont think they are prostitues. and really, what are they doing thats any different to everybody else?
i go to nighclubs, and there are girls everywhere, drunk as anything, going home with sleazy guys to have one night stands. and people do that on a regular basis.
so a groupiewho usually spends more than one night with a rock star really isnt doing anything different (or worse!) than anybody. its their choice, its consentual, and to be perfectly honest, how many groupies regret what theyve done?
groupie should not be a bad word. the word to me means freedom, lust and passion.
but feel free to have your own opinion
if we all thought the same, the world would be utterly boring. -

groupies are idiots.People may have casual sex but they dont do it to feel they are hot stuff.Groupies think they accomplished something special by sleeping with a rockstar.As far as comparing to prostitutes,they are much worse than many prostitutes.Most prostitutes do it as a job,most dont have any other way, its a way of surviving,many of them have children to support and it can even be seen as a noble thing.Groupies on the other hand are just stupid oversexed women and crack-heads.
