There is just a little biographical information dispensed early on which is not as much as I recall from a Robert Mapplethorpe biography I read some years ago. In this book, some of her friends were worried by her marriage to Fred Smith, move to Detroit and sudden domesticity, cutting her off from many of them.

In any case, her life moves continually forward, making the raucous rendition of her band playing "My Generation" very ironic.
