Rebel Heart is Bebe Buell’s no-holds-barred account of her life at the center of the rock scene in the ’70s and ’80s, when rock stars were royalty. A wild child model who took New York by storm, Buell captivated a generation of rock’s greatest talents. Her relationships with musicians like wunderkind Todd Rundgren, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler–father of her daughter Liv-Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page and Elvis Costello played out against a backdrop of some of the most legendary locales of the era: Max’s Kansas City and CBGBs in New York, the “Riot House” in Los Angeles and Tramps in London.
Bebe’s spirit informed some of the greatest songs of her time, and her book is bursting with the stories she was a part of, the fun she had, and the music she helped make.
