Informácie o knihe
The long-awaited memoir by Cameron Crowe—one of America’s most iconic journalists and filmmakers—revealing his formative years in rock and roll and bringing to life stories that shaped a generation, in the bestselling tradition of Patti Smith’s Just Kids. If you’ve seen Almost Famous, you may think you know this story, but you don’t. 'His clarity of observation and memory, his choice words, his people – Cameron Crowe, wonderfully, continues to serve us' WES ANDERSON Cameron Crowe was an unlikely rock and roll insider.Born in 1957 to parents who strictly banned the genre from their house, he dove headfirst into the world of music. By the time he graduated high school at fifteen, Crowe was contributing to Rolling Stone. His parents became believers, uneasily allowing him to interview and tour with legends like Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills, Nash, &,amp, Young, and Fleetwood Mac.Crowe spends his teens politely turning down the drugs and turning on his tape recorder. He talks his journalism teacher into giving him class credit for his road trip covering Led Zeppelin’s 1975 tour. He earns the trust of icons like Gregg Allman and Joni Mitchell who had sworn to never again speak to Rolling Stone.He embeds with David Bowie as the sequestered genius transforms himself into a new persona: The Thin White Duke. Why did Bowie give Crowe such unprecedented access? 'Because you’re young enough to be honest,' Bowie tells him. This intimate family drama charts the path that leads Crowe to writing and directing some of the most beloved films of the past forty years, from Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Say Anything to Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous.With its vivid snapshots of a bygone era and a celebration of creativity and connection, The Uncool is an essential read for music lovers or anyone chasing their wildest dreams.
