While heading backstage to interview The Who at New York's Madison Square Garden in the early 1970s, Barbara Charone got mistaken for a groupie.
Jobs for women in the music business in those days were "few and far between", the PR guru and new Chelsea FC director tells BBC News, and so the bouncer believed she must only have been there "for one reason".
"I turned up and said, 'I'm on the guest list', and the guy just went, 'Yeah, sure you are!'," recalls Charone, who used to write for magazines such as Sounds and Rolling Stone.
