but I was a bass player once, and I can attest that they're always last in the groupie pecking order. Unless it's Motley Crue.

My daughter was a HUGE fan, but too young to be a "groupie".

I took her to many of their concert when she was a young teenager.
She will get a kick out of this snippet.

But it MUST be a joke?

the bass player to be the coolest cat on the stage. No matter what kind of band/what kind of music/what kind of show - Bass player got groove.

A drummer.
(Obligatory musician joke.)

When I was a kid and my family had season tickets to the symphony, I was a symphony groupie. But still jailbait so no action.

I had a crush on Andre Previn who was a conductor.
