Almost Famous

Almost Famous. My favorite movie of all time. I mean Patrick Fugit, Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Jason Lee, Zooey Deshanel, Anna Paquin, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jimmy Fallon and many others... Is that even fair? Yes, it definitely is. Because it's the most rad movie ever. With rock and roll as its core, its reason for existance, Almost Famous changed the way I think about and listen to music forever.

In the words of Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee) "Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Rock 'n' roll is a lifestyle and a way of thinking... and it's not about money and popularity. Although, some money would be nice. But it's a voice that says, "Here I am... and fuck you if you can't understand me." And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that rock 'n' roll can save the world... all of us together. And the chicks are great. But what it all comes down to is that thing. The indefinable thing when people catch something in your music".

 

Needless to say, the best rock movie of all time has a KILLER soundtrack. Tracks from the movie's Stillwater, plus hard rock classic hits make it just as powerful as the movie itself. Listening to the soundtrack brings me right back to the exact moment in the movie when that song played. And that's a beautiful thing.
