"going to+V" reduced relative clause

The song "Girl" of the Beatles starts with "Is there anybody going to listen to my story". I think that "anybody going to listen to my story" is a reduced relative clause but I haven't been learnt such a reduction, is this reduction correct or is it just an exceptional usage?

Anonymous is this reduction correct or is it just an exceptional usage? That is common enough in spoken English.

I see that it is not an exceptional usage and it is used in spoken English, I think that we can consider it to be correct. Thank you.
