If the film started a little faster it would be perfect.Once it hits the road it's riveting.Released in 2000 the film runs 122 minutes.I grew up in the era but wasn't into drugs but the music was a true way of life for almost all us.The story is set at the turn of the 60's into the seventies and the cast is outstanding. However it's really a story of 2 youngsters caught up on being on the fringe of rock and that a life IN rock can be very deceiving as far as true happiness is concerned.There are many right on quips and tell tale truths.My favorite is when a new manager is trying to explain why this band needs him and states that Mick Jagger won't be shaking it on stage when he's in his 50's nether should you.
Well Jagger is in his late 60's and STILL going stronger.Kate Hudson and Patrick Fugit are the youngsters and Billy Crudup is a rock guitar player and head of this band in a Jimmy Page sort of way,and Jason Lee does a good take off as a Robert Plant type lead singer of the band. Yeah I think of Led Zapplin as this fictions group is called "Stillwater"The ending?? Well,some grow up and some rock on.Trailer URL followed the pix and a IMDB summary is below.
A high-school boy is given the chance to write a story for Rolling Stone Magazine about an up-and-coming rock band as he accompanies it on their concert tour.
