    What band did director Cameron Crowe have to seek permission from to use their name in his semi-autobiographical film offering 'Almost Famous'?

    		There was an actual band in the 1970s called Stillwater, but this movie is not based upon them. Crowe still had to ask to use the name for his movie.
