Almost FamousSixteen-year-old avid rock fan William Miller (Patrick Fugit) lands an assignment from Rolling Stone and legendary rock critic Lester Bangs to accompany a fledgling band from Michigan called Stillwater (Billy Crudup, Jason Lee, John Fedevich, Mark Kozelek) on their first tour. As he becomes more involved with and influenced by the band members, he loses his objectivity and is soon entangled in the infamous 70's rock scene.
