Checked out Almost Famous last night. It's been a looooong time
since I saw it. Rather enjoyed it... again. Definitely enjoyed
how Crowe was able to capture the look and feel of the times.

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but there actually was
a group called Stillwater
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stillwater_%28band%29.
Here in the
midwest they had a cult hit with Mind Bender and Women Beautiful
Women. They were big in the 70's for a little while

Klassic songs

and ran across this one

I'd never seen Almost Famous before not sure why, might have
been because Kate Hudson was in it, she's like Julia Roberts to
me, I just don't like her. But Amazon had the newly released BR
for $13 this past week so I picked it up. I was hooked on it
from the opening scenes. The fact that it is mostly sort of
based on Crowes time with The Allman Brothers band helps because
you really want to believe that someone went through what this
kid did. It makes you want to do it, unfortunately the music
scene has changed so much that having quality acts producing
music is a rarity with all the crap "musicians" making it big.
It just doesn't take much effort to be a rock star now a days.
Kate Hudsons character is great, Kate Hudson, eh, not so much. I
think any young actress could have done as good or better than
her, but she didn't ruin this movie, it would have taken a much
worse actress than her to do that. Its really a brilliant film
from top to bottom. Usually a film has one or 2 defining scenes,
this one the whole movie is the defining scene. I wish I'd had
seen it long before this past week.

[CENTER]Stillwater - Hour Of Need

Out of the entire Stillwater EP, Hour Of Need is the best f*ckin
song. I always end up playing this one on loop for a few days.
It just like Pringles, you can't stop at one. And Umaine, it's
better late than never. Welcome to the Almost Famous bus.

Watching this now. I've actually been itching to watch Almost
Famous for a few weeks, but with everything else in my rotation,
I had to wait. Well, the wait is over. I just can't believe it's
been almost two years (not quite) since I last watched this.
Seriously, it feels like I just watched it a couple of months
ago. Just got through watching Stillwater hit the stage at the
San Diego Sports Arena. In my original review, I do make mention
of how f*cking awesome 'Fever Dog' sounds in the arena. It STILL
gives me goosebumps in how Cameron Crowe nailed the exact sound
of of SDSA. Chills.
Now, back to the movie.................
