: I really liked Almost Famous...you play "coiled spring" very well. I
have some quick questions:
: 1-I read that Cameron Crowe gave each of the young stars of the
movie a library of 70s-era music so they could get into the spirit of the
movie. Was this true and did you get a set?
Got a lot of documentaries to watch. Read old issues of Rolling
Stone and Creem. Listened to a lot of music that Cameron wanted us
to listen to.
: 2-At any time during the making of the movie were they going to have
you sing Stillwater's songs instead of using the dubbed singer? Can
you carry a tune or were they looking for something different?
Not much of a singer. It was known from the beginning that I would
be dubbed.
: 3-Have you ever considered talking to the people who make all
these new-fangled skateboard games like Tony Hawk and get them
to put you in as a secret character?
Nah, not interested. Like playing them, though, they're fun.
: Thanks, but now I gotta get out of this chick store cause I'm getting a
mean hard-on...
