'Have you seen Almost Famous? Wasn’t “I am a golden god!” one of your lines?
JIMSPENCERGO!, MADISON, NEW JERSEY
Jim, you’re absolutely right: I am the golden god. I proclaimed this with a smile — and I wasn’t standing on the roof of a house; I was at the top of a palm tree on the night of Bonzo’s [John Bonham’s] birthday in 1972. It was an unfortunate moment, because someone drove across the garden in a Cadillac and wedged it between two palm trees. And I was busy making sure everyone knew exactly who and what I was. I wanted to get it in perspective before the party really started. It was the night that George Harrison karate-chopped Bonzo’s birthday cake, and therefore had to be flung into the swimming pool.'

this one is interesting... dunno how accurate it is though... apparently the airplane scene was in reference to an almost crash when travelling with the who.

Almost Famous.
Cameron Crowe did a awesome job on this film.
If interested you should http://www.imdb.com it. I few Pearl Jam parts. Like McCreedy helping with the main riffs during the concerts.
The little thing the band does together before they go on stage, well they got that from PJ. Pretty cool.
Also it has some truth to it. Crowe did this with the Allman Bros.
He also got the band fighting stories from Zeppelin.

Best movie ever!

Mine too, Sir, mine too!!!

Dead Man. Jim Jarmusch, Neil Young, Johnny Depp...i don't know why exactly but it just works for me like no other. Only movie i can watch over and over again...preferrably alone since most people i know consider it to be too boring.

watch over and over again? it's a long ass slow-paced movie, but it's cool. i loved it! it's so unpredictable and arty, and that's how i like my movies to be

But then, they do have a different version of most of history to the rest of us

Yep, eh, from what i've read it came out in '95 but it's purposely made as black and white movie. I guess it's not talked about/commercial because it's not to everyone's taste, i think few people would be able to understand and enjoy it. I absolutely loved it, i'll go as far as to say i was happy to be alive to watch such movies. I wish there was some special guide where i could find quirky/odd-ball/of beat movies cause they are usually the ones that stick in my mind for ever. Dead Man looks like a western set movie, but is not like any other stupid western, it has poetry and spaced out feel to it.

if you're into such movies you'll like it, research it on the net. but here is the soundtrack Neil Young wrote for it http://youtube.com/watch?v=n6aCMgy0ES4

seeing Johny Depp play main character is icing on the cake. but then, I've noticed that Depp plays in movies and chooses plots that i like to watch. that's why i like Depp so much, he's cool.
