"Crowe may be a writer, but I would recommend coming to this like you would to any celebrity memoir. Structure is not the point, a real arc is hard to find. What it's for is to share the best stories. And, in this case, it's very specific. This book r"

| So I'm a huge fan of Crowe's film Almost Famous who doesn't have much use for any of the other films of his I've seen. Nonetheless, I was looking forward to this to see if there were any new insights about his time as a music journalist and his caree ...more | |

I came to this book by way of a rabbit hole that started with a prog rock song - Judas Unrepentant by Big Big Train, which is a condensed telling of Tom Keating's tale.. As a creative, Keating's story is fascinating - and maddening. And if his part of ...more |

“I didn’t want to write SF about people who Sold The Moon or were the big Earth-shattering Newtons-Pasteurs-Einsteins-Hawkings of the future. I wasn’t interested in the people who shaped the future.
