I loved the article. It's really cool to find out that I Will Be There When You Die was the initial inspiration for Elizabethtown. I hope he finally finds a way to get the song into a movie.
Great info in that article. Thanks for posting. Almost Famous is one of my all time favorite movies. I heard Cameron Crowe is a really nice guy.... the opposite of uncool.
When they did one of the Elizabethtown previews in Nashville Cameron and Nancy Wilson came to Grimey's for a meet and greet, and I asked him about the MMJ connections and he pretty much gushed over them then as well. Would have loved to see IWBHWYD on that amazing soundtrack.

Yeah, I didn't know if that was common knowledge or not. But now it makes so much sense.
Just know that living in Elizabethtown is nothing like Elizabethtown :huh:
I love the article and love hearing how much MMJ influenced him... but that movie stinks.

I think what really brought the movie down was its choice in lead actors. Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst have no chemistry or great acting chops (especially Bloom).
Fun Fact: the first MMJ show I ever went to was Radio City and Kirsten Dunst was waiting in line to get in with the rest of us, rocking her MMJ shirt and all.

Skankiest, most drug/prostitute infested motel I have ever stayed in, and I been to motels all over the US, was in Elizabethtown.

It also lost quite a bit in the editing and writing parts. Trying to make the death of a parent funny just is not believable.
Would love to hear same in any language live.
