* A pregnant groupie claims the father of her daughter is one of the members of the band. The problem... she doesn't know which one. And we could have a comedy of errors.

* The pregnant woman could be the singer of an all female band. Thinking she's several weeks away from the scheduled birth she decides to give the concert and her baby is born on stage, broadcasted live to millions of people. The media of course, starts chasing the young baby turning her life into some sort of "The Truman Show". But here she can't escape to the real world. How would that affect a baby?

Back to Altmont in 1969 - What if the baby girl/boy born at the concert was the son/daughter of the man that was killed?

Or like some reincarnation related movies, the boy/girl born at the concert has the soul of the man killed at the concert?

So quiet around here today... I've just watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and thought a similar setup updated and rock-concert related. We have a groupie that is pregnant. She doesn't know who the daddy is, but there are several candidates willing to be the paternal figure and tie the knot. And this very nice and naive reporter sent by Rolling Stone magazine. He falls in love for her, but she insists in trying to marry to a rock star. In this tweeter age some compromising photos of her appear, but being rock stars most don't care. In the end she meets the son of a rockstar that dies of a drug overdose. Fearing her son's future will be similar she decides to stop being a groupie and together with the reporter they write a book that becomes a best seller, is made into a movie. And of course they get their Go Into The Story interview.

I can't help but think of that movie "August Rush," where... well, baby Norman Bates is an orphan whose parents were both musical and he's a prodigy, hearing the beautiful music that no one else can hear, puts that in a symphony and that attracts his estranged parents back together. Okay, I SWEAR that I have an idea for this one, but... I keep thinking about my sister )because she's actually about to go TO a Bruce Springsteen concert), and I don't want to say anything about it here in a public forum because I don't want to create a false or inaccurate impression of her. She leads a hectic life, and this would be one hell of a complication, and that idea fascinates me. Plus, I'd get a cameo as the "fun uncle" (I feel like I'd be a fun uncle).

I can picture this... she could wind up going on tour with the band, refusing to leave until she and the father work out an agreement, so you have this young pregnant girl (I keep picturing Vanessa Hudgens, probably b/c of all the Coachella pictures all over the place recently) having taken over half of one of the tour buses, these heavy metal rockers trying to buy baby gifts and maternity gear like wave machines... Three Metalheads and a Baby type thing going on. Just imagine: a pregnancy shower being thrown by Spinal Tap! And a tour bus is a nice little location to have instead of these huge venues full of extras.
