Israel Strikes Back
Model, singer, and mother of one Liv Tyler, Bebe Buell isn’t exactly your average groupie. In fact, she dislikes the term quite intensely, preferring the term “muse” instead. Buell’s fondness for rock music — and rock musicians — led to dating major names from The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler to David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and perhaps most famously Todd Rundgren. In 1974, she also posed for Playboy.
Buell’s rock ‘n’ roll relationships eventually transitioned into a music career of her own, starting with the short-lived rock group Bebe Buell and the B-Sides in 1981. Buell has released music since then, and her most recent album, “Baring It All,” came out in 2018. Because she’s been doing this so much longer than the “dating rockstars” thing she’s more closely associated with, she’s understandably more interested in discussing her music than her personal life from several decades ago.
“That I’m defined by the cool boyfriends I had in the 70s,” Buell named the single biggest misconception about her to Classic Rock in 2016. “I’ve done so many other things. Nowadays I just say to people: “Come see me live and I will change your mind.”
