She shares an affair with Stillwater's rhythm guitarist, Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee), and is known for her free-spirited presence and quirky moments (such as calling her father while pretending to be in Paris) Notes: (In 1969 San Diego, child prodigy William Miller struggles to fit in with his peers. His mother Elaine, a widowed college professor, further complicates his life by starting him early in school and leading him to believe he is 13 years old, when he is in fact 11. Furthermore, Elaine's strict ban on rock music and her fear of pop culture have a lasting effect on her two children, finally driving William's 18-year-old sister Anita to move to San Francisco and become a flight attendant.

In 1973, William, now 15 and influenced by Anita's secret cache of rock albums, aspires to be a rock journalist, writing freelance articles for underground music magazines. Impressed by William's writing, rock journalist Lester Bangs gives him a $35 writing assignment to interview Black Sabbath at a concert. William is barred from the backstage until the opening band Stillwater arrives and William flatters his way in. Lead guitarist Russell Hammond takes a liking to William, as does Penny Lane, the leader of a groupie-like collective called "Band-Aids", a term she coined to describe female fans who follow bands to support the music, not just for sex.

After reading some of William's articles in a San Diego underground paper, Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres hires him to write an article about Stillwater and sends him on the road with the band. William interviews the other band members, but guitarist Russell Hammond avoids a formal sit-down interview. Tensions mount between Hammond and lead singer Jeff Bebe, as the former becomes the more prominent member. The band jokingly refers to journalist William as "the enemy", but he eventually integrates into their inner circle.

Professional road manager Dennis Hope is brought in to handle problems with venues and promoters. He stops the band touring by bus, instead chartering a small plane to play more gigs. Penny has to leave before the band reaches New York, where Russell's girlfriend Leslie is joining them. Penny and three other girls are gambled away to another band in a poker game; Penny acts nonchalant but is devastated.

At a party in a New York restaurant, William informs the group they are being featured on the Rolling Stone cover. Penny shows up uninvited, but leaves after her attempts to get Russell's attention become disruptive. William follows Penny to her hotel, where he saves her from overdosing on quaaludes. The next day, the band encounters severe weather during their flight. Fearing the plane will crash, everyone confesses long-concealed secrets and the simmering conflict between Jeff and Russell erupts. William confesses his love for Penny after Jeff insults her. The plane lands safely, leaving everyone to ponder the changed atmosphere.

Although he has difficulty finishing the article, William arrives at the Rolling Stone office in San Francisco and shocks the staff with his young age. Calling Bangs for help, he advises William to be "honest...and unmerciful" in his piece. The editors are enthused by William's article, but Russell lies to the magazine's fact-checker, claiming most of its content is false. Rolling Stone kills the piece, crushing William. Anita encounters a dejected William at the airport and offers to take him anywhere; he elects to return home to San Diego with her.

After Sapphire, a "Band Aide", chastises Russell for betraying William and mistreating Penny, Russell calls Penny wanting to meet with her, but she instead gives him William's home address. Russell arrives believing it is Penny's house and meets Elaine, before he apologizes to William and finally gives him an interview. He also verifies William's article to Rolling Stone, which runs it as a cover feature. Penny fulfills her long-standing fantasy of going to Morocco, while Stillwater continues to tour by bus.)
