Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical film about young William Miller whose dreams come true when he gets a chance to follow the band Stillwater on tour in order to write an article for Rolling Stone magazine.
With an all-star cast of Kate Hudson, Jason Lee, Philip Seymour-Hoffman, Billy Crudup, Patrick Fugit, Fairuza Balk, Zooey Deschanel, Jimmy Kimmel and Anna Paquin, this brilliant film inspired me to make this set - and it's now available in the Showcase section of the shop.
"You cannot make friends with the rock stars... If you're going to be a true journalist, you know, a rock journalist - first, you never get paid much. But, you will get free records from the record company. Fuckin' nothin' about you that is controversial. God, it's gonna get ugly. And they're gonna buy you drinks, you're gonna meet girls, they're gonna try to fly you places for free, offer you drugs. I know, it sounds great. But, these people are not your friends. You know, these are people who want you to write sanctimonious stories about the genius of the rock stars and they will *ruin* rock 'n' roll and strangle everything we love about it. Right? And then it just becomes an industry of - cool."
