Sin is fun, and in the end Teresa and Frank discover the truth, but not before the cuckoos have...
Most of rock groupie sub-culture is a direct descendant of the "band-chicks" that lived around jazz groups in the forties. The rock lexicon is almost completely derivative of jazz groupies. Plaster-casting comes from a saying out of the "be-bop" era, "Plate you now, cast you later." The word "rig" seems to have originated in the lyrics of the Delta blues singers...
