My Tragic Love Affair with the Bay City Rollers
'Bye Bye Baby' is the story of a love affair with possibly the most untalented bunch of musicians in the history of rock and pop. Even in their heydey, Leslie, Eric, Woody, Alan and Derek from Edinburgh were decidedly uncool and their music ridiculed. And yet for Caroline Sullivan, a teenager from Millburn, New Jersey, the Bay City Rollers became an all-consuming passion. Over four hot summers from 1975 to 1979, Sullivan and her band of lust-crazed friends, the Tacky Tartan Tarts, criss-crossed the United States in the Rollers' wake, staking out airports and hotels, tricking airline clerks and wheedling information out of bodyguards and PR companies.
'Bye Bye Baby' is the story of how Caroline Sullivan ended up in that Detroit hotel room with the Rollers. It is a story of teenage passion and teen-adulation. It is also a brilliant evocation of an era.
