Notes
"If Almost Famous was the fictional, yet semi- autobiographical movie that dealt with the stardom of being a rock journalist, Ticket is the non-fictional flip side of the coin. Ticket perfectly documents the formation of rock journalism, something that is as much a part of music as the music itself."
