“Almost Famous” really captures the weird relationship that journalists and critics have with artists and musicians. We’re not there to be their friends. Can we be friends? Sure BUT at the end of the day we’re there to document the moment and the music as objectively as possible NOT make the artists look cool or feed into however they want to be portrayed

I worked as a music journalist for a little less than a decade (2004-2013) and despite the obvious differences due to time “Almost Famous” and “This is Spın̈al Tap“ are by far the most accurate depictions of life on the road from films that aren’t documentaries

Eight great songs about touring by rock bands
Source: news.artnet.comListed below are eight (8) favorite songs written by rockers about the effects of long tours on the road. Each has its own view on the topic ranking from exhaustion to missing family and home to everyplace starting to look the same.
Source: time.comThe tour bus is a ubiquitous aspect of touring. And who can forget the scene in the movie Almost Famous when the band’s plane hits severe turbulence while they are on tour.
Source: usmagazine.comThere were many other songs to choose from, as the rigors of touring is a common and recurring theme. Those below seem to relate the topic best and are written/recorded by rock bands. Links are provided to the accompanying video/audio for each song.
Peace!

“Wanted: Dead or Alive” – Bon Jovi
“But I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back

I play for keeps ’cause I might not make it back
I’ve been everywhere, (Oh yeah) still I’m standing tall
I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve rocked them all”“Happy To Be Here” – Dexter & the Moonrocks
“Six cities to go
Don’t let it get you
Can’t wait to be home
Can’t wait to be with you”“No More No More” – Aerosmith
“Holiday Inn, lock the door with a chain

You love it and you hate it
But to me they’re all the same““Faithfully” – Journey
“They say that the road ain’t no place to start a family
Right down the line it’s been you and me
And lovin’ a music man ain’t always what it’s supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I’m forever yours
Faithfully”“Rock and Roll Band” – Boston
“Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin’ all the bars, sleepin’ in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didn’t have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive”“Home Sweet Home” – Motley Crew
“Just take this song
And you’ll never feel left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I’m coming off this long and winding road”“We’re an American Band” – Grand Funk Railroad
“Out on the road for forty days

Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze”“Touring” – The Ramones
“Well, we’ve been to London, and we’ve been to L.A.
Spain, New Zealand, and the U.S.A.
Europe, Japan, and pango-pango
Canada, Siam, OZ and KamotoThe kids all come from miles around
The party gets started when the sun goes down
An Holiday Inns the only home I know
I know, I know, I know”SOURCE: lyrics courtesy azlyrics.com

I still miss him. Imagine the roles he might have played? Do we think he'd have gone into Marvel or DC comic movies?
