: Jason Lee is such a rock star. The dude looked so natural up there. I could nitpick about how different his real voice sounded when he was singing Elton John tunes on the bus and "On the Cover of the Rolling Stone" in the club compared to the voice they dubbed in as the singer of the band, but again, that's nitpicky and Cameron Crowe's fault, not Jason Lee's. The role of Jeff Bebe still didn't afford Lee the opportunity to really really shine. That's not a critique of Lee's acting, which was excellent, it's a comment meaning I want to see him in a LEAD ROLE. I mean I want to see a movie in which he has more screen time than anyone. He's always the best thing about any movie he's in.
Ah.. So that wasn't his real voice. I actually feel really stupid now. I figured since he can sing they'd just have used his real voice. Weird that they didn't. And I agree completely that the movie would've been better had the role of Jeff Bebe been larger.. however it was still a really good movie in my opinion.

...Who still feels really stupid about not knowing that it was a dubbed voice for the Stillwatter songs *sigh*.
