the only thing i caught in AF that could have been a Fast Times reference is near the beginning their is a mention that William(the charecter fashoined after Crowe)is thought to be a narc by his peers...that's probably not a reference though but i was just thinking about Crowe going undercover as an adult (Fast Times) and as a kid(AF) although i think im the only one that understands what im talking about
: Totally amped about the new Crowe/ Lee flick...
: One question for any preview crowds out there - is there any
: reference to Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
: If you don't know, Fast Times at Ridgemont High was actually based
: on a non-fiction book by Crowe - weird. Crowe actually went back
: "undercover" to high school to gather info for the book (after he had
: already graduated). This project came about during his rock-writer
: years.
: Seeing how Almost Famous is basically based on Crowe's
: experiences as an adolescent rock writer, wouldn't be cool if they
: could do a flick about how he wrote the Fast Times book?
: Sincerely,
: No life.
