Set in 1973, it chronicles the funny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William, an unabashed music fan who is inspired by the seminal bands of the time. When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to interview the up-and-coming band Stillwater -- fronted by lead guitar Russell Hammond and lead singer Jeff Bebe William embarks on an eye-opening journey with the band's tour, despite the objections of his protective mother.
I haven’t seen this since it came out, but I remember I really loved it. Cameron Crowe is pretty uneven as a writer and director, but he was telling his own story (or at least a loose adaptation of it) because he toured with the Allman Brothers Band as a writer for Rolling Stone around the same age as William in the movie. I think 16, not 15. Also, the band all thought he was a narc, apparently.

The 70s was definitely an interesting time.
