idasessions: Neal Preston: We had this thing on tours called ‘road wives.’ You’d hook up with a girl for the tour and then the second the tour ends, you never see her again. Marc Maron: I remember that from Almost Famous. NP: Well, everything in Almost Famous is pretty much real. MM: That was all about the Allman Brothers tour, right? NP: The character that Billy Crudup played, where the kid kept trying to get an interview, that’s a bit of Gregg Allman. The band itself, I think Cameron would tell you, is an amalgam of a lot of bands that had two competing, creative entities. You know, John & Paul, Don & Glenn, Mick & Keith, Jimmy & Robert. That kind of thing. The actual girl who got traded for a case of beer was…let’s just say a groupie I used to fraternize with. [laugh] MM: So that’s a real incident? NP: Oh, yeah. MM: That’s sort of sad, huh? NP: …Yeah. -- source link
