Several writers were assigned to cover the tour . Truman Capote was commissioned to write a travelogue for '' Rolling Stone . '' Accompanied by prominent New York socialites Lee Radziwill and Peter Beard , Capote did not mesh well with the group ; he and his entourage abandoned the tour in New Orleans before resurfacing for the final shows at Madison Square Garden . Having struggled with writer 's block since the publication of '' In Cold Blood '' in 1966 , he failed to complete his feature , tentatively titled " It Will Soon Be Here . " '' Rolling Stone '' ultimately recouped its stake by assigning Andy Warhol to interview Capote about the tour in 1973 . In the interview , Capote alleged that tour doctor Laurence Badgley ( a 1968 graduate of the Yale School of Medicine who was later retained by Led Zeppelin for their 1977 North American tour ) had a " super-Lolita complex " and initiated the statutory rape of a high school student ( also filmed by Robert Frank ) on the band 's business jet during a flight to Washington , D.C. Terry Southern , a close friend of Keith Richards since the late 1960s , wrote about the tour for '' Saturday Review '' in what proved to be one of his last major journalistic assignments . Southern and Beard developed a friendship on the tour and collaborated intermittently on '' The End of the Game '' ( an unfilmed screenplay ) for over two decades
