Will have to read if just for the Allman Brothers' interview and Rolling Stone piece. Seems like a good, alternate "Almost Famous" source material.

How a Texan journalist detailed 1970s culture ⌨️

The Texan journalist Grover Lewis had the Dallas Times Herald, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and, yes, Houston Chronicle before landing at Rolling Stone.
