One of my Tumblr fans asked me to post a photo of Rodney Bingenheimer, The Mayor Of The Sunset Strip. Well here is Rodney backstage with Still Bator from The Dead Boys backstage at The Starwood in 1978. Rodney and I were best pals for years. We traveled the world together and he introduced me to so many incredible talented members of seventies Pop Culture. We still speak all the time. Thank you Tumblr fans. Keep those requests coming!

Bebe Buell And Stiv Bators At Fiorucci’s 1978, photo by Brad Elterman
This photo was taken at an incredible party at Fiorucci’s store in Beverly Hills. I think KISS, tons of stars and beautiful girls were present. Fiorucci’s was known for its outrageous fashions and fun parties, as well as the punks who worked there. Bebe had been living with Todd Rundgren and was at many happening parties. Think of Elvis Costello’s “This Year’s Model,” written when he was dating her. Stiv Bators was the lead singer of the Dead Boys. Interesting how celebrities attract. FYI Bebe is the mother of Liv Tyler. Stiv was hit by a car in Paris, refused to go to the hospital, and died in his sleep.
