A coming-of-age story about a 15-year-old boy hitting the road with an up-and-coming rock band in the early 1970s. Elaine Miller is a bright, loving, but strict single parent whose distrust of rock music and fears about drug use have helped to drive a wedge between herself and her two children, Anita, and William. William makes something of his love of rock & roll by writing album reviews for a local underground newspaper. William's work attracts the attention of Lester Bangs, editor of renegade rock magazine Creem, who takes William under his wing and gives him his first professional writing assignment - covering a Black Sabbath concert. While William is unable to score an interview with the headliners, the opening act, Stillwater, are more than happy to chat with a reporter, even if he's still too young to drive, and William's piece on the group in Creem gains him a new admirer in Ben Fong-Torres, an editor at Rolling Stone. Torres offers William an assignment for a 3,000-word cover watch

Although I find it ...

Question: Although I find it entertaining, I am disappointed by Entourage, primarily with Vince's character. Sure, the show is supposed to be a takeoff on the spoiled, somewhat easy lives of actors, but I can't get past Vince's reckless behavior this season. Ever since his funny Almost Famous breakdown scene (caused by "Aquaman"'s ticket sales), he's become grating. Letting a corrupt former cohort almost destroy his crew and reputation just because he once took the fall for Vince; letting the "Aquaman" deal fall through due to a pissing match; laughably criticizing the treatment of "Queens Boulevard" (like any agent would actually let someone crash and burn like that); and, in next week's previews, wanting to fire Ari , even though Vince started the war with the president of Warner Bros.? I loved the B-stories with all the other characters (although I wish we'd seen more of Shawna, even though I know Debi Mazar was pregnant and probably not working), but why should I care about Vince ... read more

Who's That Monkeying Around with Ed's Ed?

On Tuesday at 10pm/ET, Ed's Tom Cavanagh returns to television as the star of CBS' Love Monkey, a dramedy about Tom Farrell, a record exec whose professional life — and in turn, love life — is turned upside down when his idealism is deemed idiotic by his boss. Serving as buds to Tom are 90210's Jason Priestley, Crash's Larenz Tate, Christopher Wiehl and Judy Greer, while Ivana Milicevic plays the music-biz babe who just might cure what ails him. TVGuide.com talked to the familiar-looking femme about Monkeying around, all the "love" in her life, and her surprising Hollywood crush.

OK, is Bree's son gay? Or was...

OK, is Bree's son gay? Or was he lying the same way ABC did with their promos for this "surprising new Housewives"? Because I don't trust either. Nor should any of us after an hour so shock-anemic that Susan's totally uncharacteristic decision to buy Zach out of town — and away from the chronically underused Mike — almost passed for plot development. And don't even get me started on all the sex gags. We all know I'm no prude, but really, having Andrew describe the sound of his own mother's climax to tick off creepy George is just tacky, and the Solis' battle to win a conjugal visit felt forced, like the whole thing was cooked up to introduce the horny new lawyer headed for Gaby's bed. (Welcome back, Adrian Pasdar. Good luck with that one). At least Lynette finally got some stuff worthy of Felicity Huffman. Though again, I refuse to accept that our working mama's parenting skills are so schizo that her answer to Parker's separation anxiety would inv read more
