I saw Joel Bernstein’s photograph of one of the guys on tour with Neil, his name was Larry Johnson. Sadly, he’s no longer with us. But Larry was my inspiration, this one photo, for William.

My references for them were mainly The Allman Brothers and The Eagles. The musician as cowboy outlaw. Country rock, not metal. So I emulated a lot of pictures that I had of The Allman Brothers and The Eagles from Cameron. Billy [Crudup] has on one of those Henleys that I made which is total rock ‘n’ roll cowboy. Even this striped t-shirt [on Jeff B...
For me, Lester Bangs is the conscience, he’s the mentor in the sense that William’s mother isn’t into it, his father’s dead, and there’s nobody but Lester. This t-shirt we decided was a joke.

And then I put th...
This is the most fun of all! She’s leather and lace. She’s the rock chick, she’s a mother hen and she’s been there, done that. She’s in the car with Black Sabbath. They’re all out in the street, this one’s in the car. She’s wise. So I thought that it would be fun to do the feather boa thing on her. This was easier said than done, and I was so excit...
Back in the day, PSA Airlines was a real airline and this is really what they wore. We did a lot of research about this because PSA was no longer in existence when we made the film, and Cameron found out that there was an ex-flight attendant in San Diego and she still had her uniform. So there we went, off to San Diego, and collected this uniform. ...
