Where “Sweet Home, Alabama” is concerned, I’m on Team Neal & “Werewolves of London.” At Cruisin’ Grand 8/10, Tommy Kind had a coughing fit mid “Simple Man” and and coughed out, “take it,” to me, so I did in the simplest way I could: “My grandma told me
Use simple words,

The trees are full of birds
And the rivers
Are full of fish
And to catch one’s
My simple wish.”

Crowe’s first interview is with Cameron Crowe.

After his sister Cathy’s suicide, music became a door that opened for Cameron Crowe (54).
