In the tumultuous 1960s, as sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll began dominating the San Francisco cultural scene, young Julia, known by her nickname "Girl," was having a rebellion of her own. Her experiences connected her with the era's biggest stars, and her life became interwoven with their stories.
I ran away to Mexico when I was 16. When I got back they were going to put me in juvenile hall until I was 21. In lieu of that, I got married," she recalled, illustrating her youthful defiance and the choices that shaped her path.
Through her adventures in the music scene, Brigden became friends with many of the most famous rock stars of the era, like Joan Baez and David Crosby. Notably, she inspired songs like "Quicksilver Girl" by the Steve Miller Band and “Jane” by Jefferson Starship, where her unique presence influenced the music profoundly.
In 1987, she married Mick Brigden, the legendary tour manager for Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. Their life together was filled with travel across six continents, yet they cherished their roots in the Bay Area, embracing the beauty of nature together.
