If you’ve lived the past 21 years without seeing the Cameron Crowe classic Almost Famous, we’ve got good news for you. You can watch it this weekend and join the fan club! It’s a love letter to the music industry, rock writers, bands like Led Zeppelin, life on the road, and all things rock & roll-related. A true classic. And the soundtrack? Phenomenal.
If you’ve already been blessed by the rock gods and have experienced the world that is Almost Famous, then you may have already caught this deleted scene. It’s a “Stairway to Heaven” love-fest. Simply put, it’s five people sitting in a room, while four of them rock out to to “Stairway”. One of them is not a fan. “This song…will change your life” William (Patrick Fugit) says. After the song ends, Patrick’s Mother (Frances McDormand) comments, “They sound like nice kids. Is it meant to elevate humanity? Sure. Let’s elevate humanity, after we sell you drugs and sex.” Find the full article here from RollingStone.com.
