So let’s start at the begging. You started by walking on your parents back. How did that grow into massaging some of the world’s greatest bands and singers?

My parents were hippies, smoking pot, lying around listening to Janis and Zappa, The Beatles and Santana… in the evening, they would have me walk on their backs. Not just theirs, there were many hippie pals around, as my dad was 22 and his sisters were 17 and 18, so they all had these long haired folks over all the time, it was like a hippie flop house. I was the only kid around and my feet were small, so I would walk on everyone's backs and my Mom would ask me to bite her back, as she wanted massage but my hands weren't strong enough yet.

I was raised on music and my parents would take me to concerts all the time. When they separated, I was 11 and still wanted to go to shows. They got tired of paying all of the concerts I went to and so I got the idea, at age 15 (Def Leppard was the first band I massaged) of asking the bands if they would want to trade massage for entrance for my friends and I. It went over well, as they usually want free things and I am fucking strong, so they loved my massages.

I heard Frank Zappa gave you the nickname Dr. Dot?
In 1988 I went on most of the 'Broadway the Hard way' Zappa tour. I told Frank, listen, I don't want money, just want to see each sound check and show in trade for massages. He agreed. Since I was healing him and his band, he would call me the Doctor. (My real name is Dorothy, but everyone knows Dot is short for Dorothy. My Granny is also called Dot.) So Doctor Dot just stuck. Has a good ring to it... Frank could have called me Dr. Fool and I would have kept it, Frank is my hero.

How has music influenced your life?
Influenced is a huge understatement. Music is and my life, always has been always will be. Can't live without it. Now I even like to sing and do karaoke a few nights a week. I am in the process of forming my own band, didn't know I could sing until a couple years ago. Fucking love music. If I could inject it, I would, but thank God I don't need to.

You have been to more than a life times worth of concerts. What couple shows stick out in your mind?
I have seen over 3,000 shows and for sure Zappa was always the best. Then AC/DC (they fucking rock live!) and believe it or not, George Clinton and the P Funk rocked my world. Then there is David Bryne, Peter Gabriel and even though I never listen to them on CD or LP, I have seen the Grateful Dead over 300 times and up until the let the cat out of the bag (doing an MTV video) they were so amazing live.

How has Jasmine shaped your life?
Following the Dead, I met a John Lennon look a like and fell in love. I had his baby and now she is 16 (YIKES!). She made me domestic for a few years. I really took time out to be a great stay at home Mom. I would do anything for her, she is my sweet heart. Jasmine has shown me what unconditional love is all about. I would love another child, but can barely find time to sleep now a days.

Who has the tightest mussels?
Rick Allen of Def Leppard. I recently worked on him and could NOT believe how tight he is in the neck and shoulder area. I am sure it is from him losing his arm, he can't help but hold him self in an uneven way, the sweetheart. I sorted him out though! Mostly it's drummers who are all knots and need massage the most.

Who is most relaxed?
Paris Hilton didn't have any knots, she seems like she hasn't a worry in the world (go figure).

Who was a bit nervous about you working them over at first but now is a huge fan?
Joe Jackson. He heard I am the Pit Bull of massage and was afraid as he doesn't like it rough, but I can tell how hard I can go on someone from the first touch, no he gets regular treatments!

You have built this into a world renowned business. What keeps you going?
I get high off of my career. I live to work and it doesn't seem like work. When you do something you love, it isn't work. I do play hard, but I work even harder. I have found a niche and I plan on going very far with this whole thing. How to massage DVD's and several books, I have just begun baby.

Tell me a bit about your book?
Which one? I have few that are to come out hopefully soon. The one most want to read is called "Butt Naked and Backstage" which is my life story. It is not a tacky tell all, it is just a rock and roll Cinderella story that brings you on a very interesting and encouraging journey. You may think of me as the Forrest Gump of Rock and Roll when you are done reading and you will know A LOT about all of the bands that have crossed my path, but nothing that would piss them off (well, maybe not).

How did the love and sex columns come about?
When you go to the hair dresser or barber, you talk, you spill your guts. Imagine how much comes out of people when they are naked and being rubbed down for hours. They talk about their love lives and sex lives and ask me for advice. I have been giving love advice for over 20 years and have a look at me, does it look to you that I know what I am talking about when it comes to sex? I have been writing a blog on my web sites for about 3 years. I get around 100 readers an hour. I get emails from people asking me love and sex questions, so I answer them on the blog, usually changing their names so no one is ashamed. A few magazines, Steppin' Out for one, approached me and asked me if I would like to have my Q & A in their mags. So I am kind of syndicated now and it keeps getting around more and more. I really enjoy helping people, after all, what good will all of this experience and knowledge do me in the grave? I can't massage the whole world, but I can surely help them get laid.
