I got the distinct impression the band was inspired by the Allman
Brothers Band, especially as the story of the young reporter central
to the film parallels the real-life exploits of the director, Cameron
Crowe. (He did the same thing, but riding along with the ABB.)
Notice the tip 'o the hat to legendary ABB roadie, Red Dog!
Cheers,
Paul.
