Good show. :thumb:
Yeager did say they thoroughly embellished him breaking the sound barrier, said there was no drama, no violent shaking, and that he just went up for a test flight and when he returned they told him, “Oh yea, just FYI but you broke the sound barrier.”

Almost Famous (but more so, Untitled) was amazing. Red Dog, Lester Bangs, Penny Lane (and all the other groupies) were real people, William is Cameron Crowe, Dennis Hope is a slightly exaggerated Irving Azoff, and the rest of the band is an amalgam of the Eagles and Peter Frampton's tenure in Humble Pie (with Crudup playing Frampton but looking like Glen Frey).

Yea, the Untitled version of Almost Famous is amazing.
