This is pretty cool. RollingStone just published the article from "Almost Famous". Finally get to read it after all these years.

Quote:

I am flying high over Tupelo, Mississippi, with America's hottest band and we are all about to die.
"We shouldn't be here!" shouts Stillwater's effusive lead singer, Jeff Bebe, his drink splashing across his purple shirt. Bebe, 24, was just last night in front of a sold-out crowd at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Now, with the band aboard a plane instead of its normal tour bus, his friendly face exudes nothing so much as pure panic. The airplane takes another dip. Hail pounds the wings.
The members of Stillwater look at one another, their words now taking on a truly black nature. Like the sky outside, everything threatens us in a menacing way. I have been on the road with the band for a week, seven days of fun and chaos and music. But now all of that is the furthest from this newly successful band's thoughts.

Outstanding.

"Rock 'n' roll can save the world"? "The chicks are great"? I sound like a dick!"

"You are a dick."

That softly spoken line always cracks me up.

They used PSH's quote too:

midlevel band struggling with its limitations in the harsh face of stardom.

Awesome

One of my favorite movies of all time. Loved reading that; thanks for sharing.

I will say, this is one of those movies where the Director's Cut is not good, imo. It completely breaks up the flow of the movie, and adds nothing of substance. I much prefer the original theatrical version.

We're the things like the BBQ, or the quotes after his last line of the movie on loving everything rock and roll edit victims or made up for the story?

There's a mojo over at the Daily News they'd let you use. It's a very modern machine that would let you transmit pages over the telephone. It only takes 18 minutes a page.
