Rolling Stone: I've also read that you were partially inspired by the Alice in Chains song "Would?" – the first song on the Singles soundtrack, which was written in dedication to Andy Wood.
Cameron Crowe: That's true. Andy's death and the feeling in the city after it was a real inspiration for the movie because the way I saw everybody pull together, it was that thing, it was the community of people who all live around each other, and they're all single people, but together they form a disconnected family and that all happened the night Andy died and everybody just ended up showing up at Kelly Curtis' house. They didn't even call each other, they just started showing up. And I thought, "This just doesn't happen in L.A."
