Early Life
Des Barres' parents lived in Kentucky. Just before she was born, her father moved the family to southern California. Her mother was a householder and her father worked for Anheuser-Busch and occasionally as a gold miner. Des Barres idolized The Beatles and Elvis Presley as a child, and fantasized about meeting and dating her favorite Beatle, Paul McCartney. Later, upon discovering the Rolling Stones, she daydreamed of Mick Jagger, while growing up in Los Angeles in the early 1960s.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Three early risings make an extra day.”
—Chinese proverb.
“All men are partially buried in the grave of custom, and of some we see only the crown of the head above ground. Better are the physically dead, for they more lively rot. Even virtue is no longer such if it be stagnant. A man’s life should be constantly as fresh as this river. It should be the same channel, but a new water every instant.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
