TABLE OF CONTENTS
I spent a semester in Spain during my junior year. My study abroad friends and I would regularly crave things from home like peanut butter, hip hop music and movies. Of the 27 Americans I studied with, we had about 10 DVDs that we would shuffle through and loan out to each other. Of these, I watched Almost Famous repeatedly.
- I still never get tired of the movie. The carefree adventures of rock stars on the road, and the relationships between band mates, groupies and roadies appeal to my sense of adventure and love for travel.Too bad I can't sing.
Rikki Kite's feature about roadies gives a behind-the-scenes look at the people who keep the band wheels turning. Roadies do everything from managing the band to setting up equipment and stretching guitar strings.
Carolyn Tharp, Editor
So maybe the life of a rock star is not for me, but until I perfect my tambourine-playing skills, I'll be reading Kite's article and watching Almost Famous again and again.
