I pleased to announce the official Cameron Crowe site launches today. Cameron will be actively involved with the site including an online journal, behind the scenes peeks on E-Town, a “Hi Fi” members fan club with exclusive content/merchandise and much more
The cast and crew have been very busy filming in Louisville and Elizabethtown. Here’s various pictures that have surfaced on the Internet or been sent directly to me by site readers. Thanks to everyone who has shared these.
IMDB has the final cast and crew list for Elizabethtown is here. It looks like Alec Baldwin will be playing the role of “Phil”. It’s a small but important role of Drew’s boss. It also looks like the wonderful John Toll is on board as the DP. Looks like a great film is ready to roll!
In the March 9, 1972 issue of the San Diego Door, Cameron praises the latest Yes LP, Fragile. He notes the craftsmanship of the record and (looking back now) correctly predicts that “Roundabout” will reach classic status.
The latest release from Cameron’s Vinyl Films Record label will be Sun Kil Moon’s Ghosts of the Great Highway. The album should be released later this month and will include an acoustic version of “Gentle Moon” as a bonus track. More info as I receive it.
Cameron conducts a lengthy interview with Wild Turkey frontman (and former Jethro Tull bassist) Glenn Cornick. This interview was published in The San Diego Door in late March, 1972. The band would only last for two albums before breaking up. Glenn did release two additional albums under the Wild Turkey name in 1996 and 2000.
Cameron writes in to the June 2004 issue of Empire magazine as they celebrate their 15th birthday. Here’s what Cam had to say: (Thanks Danny!)
Happy Birthday To Empire…
Fun, explosive, frisky, honest, and of course possessing of a savagely beautiful taste – come on! It’s time to give back, and hail the magazine that dares to love movies and music and the entire experience of great things that happen in the dark. Bring on the cake, let it rip, it’s your 15th Birthday!
Cameron Crowe
Another homage to Say Anything… in last week’s episode of Fox’s amazing (and extremely funny) new show, Arrested Development. (Thanks Scott!)
