Description Uncool 15-year-old William Miller is living every teenager's dream. He's touring with Stillwater, an up-and-coming rock band and writing about it for Rolling Stone magazine, whose editors are unaware of his young age. Though Miller's mentor, legendary rock critic Lester Bangs cautions him not to befriend the musicians, Miller takes it a step further and befriends both the band and the Band-Aids the girls who hang around with the band because they love the music.
