The Enthusiast: Almost Famous is a must-watch for nostalgia’s sake

HO/Reuters

There are so many reasons I adore this film. Here’s one: The journey is joyful. Crowe loves everything about music and its world, and he communicates that to us in specific, discrete scenes. The feeling you get singing along to the radio with friends in a moving vehicle. The glee of being at an epic party. How a truly loyal groupie at a backstage buffet knows better than to eat all the steak.

What essential advice! I chose to write about celebrities because I believe that the people we make famous are the ones who somehow represent what we might be, given the means, access and connections most of us will never have; and therefore, writing about them will communicate something to all of us about what matters. Bangs’s speech tells me that Crowe believes that, too.

“It’s all happening,” is Penny Lane’s catchphrase; and that, too, is double-edged. We’re here, we’re feeling this, let’s remember to be in it. Because in a flash, it won’t be happening anymore. Why do things that are great slip away? Because time goes in only one direction. Big-band music ebbs away for rock, which ebbs away for hip hop. Albums move aside for streaming. Newspaper culture is supplanted by the internet.
