If you think that Mick Jagger will still be doing the whole rock star thing at age fifty, well, then, you are sorely, sorely mistaken.
ALMOST FAMOUS.
In a nutshell- It's about a rock band, Stillwater(fictional) and a young teenage journalist who tags along in order to write a story about them for the Rolling Stone magazine. It's about the Rock And Roll Lifestyle: The drugs, the sex, the fights and all the bumps on the road to success. It is realistic, funny, touching, and one of those rare movies that makes you feel like you`ve gained something just for having seen it. It's too bad that they say rock and roll is dead, cause we could sure use more movies like this one!



"And you can tell Rolling Stone magazine that my last words were... I'm on drugs!"
[crowd cheers.]
"Russell! I think we should work on those last words!"
"I got it, I got it. Last words - I dig music."
[a few claps]
"I'M ON DRUGS!!"
[crowd cheers madly.]



(yeah i know it sucks when the video and music aren't in synchrony.)

Blue jean baby
L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed
Pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me
Always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Thank you very much

And you wonder why Elton John is the fucking best.
