This is an extensive interview and article in which April handles some tough questions such as if she was a groupie.
EXCERPTS:
Q - Your romance with Frankie Vallie began when you were 16?
A- This would be the only flaw in Mr. Valli's character. He knew me since I was six or seven. I loved him. He would pick me up and carry me. My parents made velvet jackets with banners and hats... 16 ... By then I had my driver's license. I did not have any sexual feelings for him at all. I go in the back room and of course he lets me in and the hat is there and he walks up to me and he says nothing. He untangles my necklaces...
Q: He could've been in a lot of trouble. Did you tell your mother?
A : No. I didn't tell.

Q- Who was paying your way on the road?
Q- Who was paying your way on the road?
A - He did.
Q- Did you have an official function with him, say secretary?
A - No. I was just his official eye candy I'm sure. You have to remember, I was raised on an actual little chicken farm. My parents were divorced. I don't have this Italian daddy. I get in this world and I;m traveling in this bus. People, when you get out, they ask you for your autograph because you're with them. It was very hard for me to go back and be a normal teenager.
