Description
"This screenplay captures a pivotal time in the history of rock and roll. Set in 1973, it chronicles the funny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William Miller (Patrick Fugit), 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 guitarist Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) and lead singer Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee), William embarks on an eye-opening journey with the band, despite the objections of his protective mother Elaine (Frances McDormand)." "With the help of the lovely Band Aid Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), William finds himself drawn into Stillwater's inner circle. But as he becomes less an observer and more a participant in the band's dynamics, the fledgling reporter loses the objectivity to tell his story honestly, and learns a life-changing lesson about the importance of families - the ones we inherit, and the ones we create."--BOOK JACKET.
