Almost Famous - Tiny Dancer has been added as a related post - related requested by CrushBug.

It's much like the movie Almost Famous which I think was based on a real story.

"I think she said feck...."

Hey that's Michael Angarano (the dark haired boy), who shortly after losing this role bounced back with the role of young William in Almost Famous! Not a bad consolation prize.

Also, interesting that Jake Lloyd seems confident and pretty strong in these clips. The script, not so much... hmmm.

I was curious, so I went for a walk in Wikipedia:

"In 1969, Pete Townshend, The Who's guitarist, created the band to play songs written by the former Who roadie, drummer / singer John 'Speedy' Keen (miscredited as "Keene" on the single's label). Keen wrote the opening track on The Who Sell Out album, "Armenia City In The Sky". Townshend produced the single, arranged its strings, played its bass guitar under the pseudonym Bijou Drains, and hired for it eccentric GPO engineer and jazz pianist Andy 'Thunderclap' Newman (born Andrew Newman, in 1943) and the fifteen year old Glaswegian Jimmy McCulloch.

Originally titled "Revolution", but later renamed because the Beatles released a single of that name, "Something in the Air" captured post-flower power rebellion, marrying McCulloch's sweeping acoustic and glowing electric guitars, Keen's powerful drumming and yearning falsetto, and Newman's felicitous piano solo.

The single was Number One for three weeks, holding off Elvis Presley in the process. The scale of the song's success surprised everyone, and there were no plans to promote Thunderclap Newman with live performances.

Eventually a line-up, augmented by Jim Pitman-Avory (bassist) and McCulloch's elder brother Jack (drums), played a handful of gigs. Personal records say the band played live only five times, although Keen referred to a two-month tour, playing "everywhere".

"Something in the Air" appeared on the soundtracks of the films The Magic Christian (1969), Almost Famous (2000), The Dish (2000), The Girl Next Door (2004), and The Strawberry Statement (1970); the last having helped the single reach No. 25 in the United States. The song also appeared in the deluxe edition of the Easy Rider CD. In the UK, a follow-up single, "Accidents", came out only in May 1970, and charted at No. 44 only for a week, and an album Hollywood Dream, peaked in Billboard at No. 163. "Something In the Air" played at the end of the 26 March 2007 episode of The Riches on FX. An episode of the television sitcom, My Name is Earl also featured the song.

The members of the band had little in common. Newman once commented, in a 1972 interview with New Musical Express, that he got on with Keen's music but not with him personally, it was a similar case with McCulloch. Two more singles followed before the band split."

"Rock stars have kidnapped my son."

I hope, after his mom is safely dead, that Cameron Crowe releases another special edition of Almost Famous with a different commentary track. The last one featured Crowe and his mom. I can't think of anything more mortifying than watching a thinly fictionalized version of yourself lose his virginity while sitting next to your mom. I want the real dirt on where all these stories came from. Rumor has it that the "I'm a golden god!" scene actually happened with Robert Plant.
