I say "Almost Famous," too, and so far I think it's the best movie of the year. Philip Seymour Hoffman was GREAT as cranky ol' Lester Bangs. Also, there's a wonderful interview with Cameron Crowe in this last "Rolling Stone," where he tells what's fact and fiction.... And surprisingly, getting deflowered by a trio of groupies at the age of 15 was fact! (Sigh. It took me until I was 17, and that was a trio of drunk Iron Maiden fans named Spike, Sammy and The Crusha.) >We >thought lj was fabulous in her role as Penny Lane.

I was trying to visualise some industry huckster pressuring some young artist into persuing a lucrative career in formula folk. "That's what's selling, kid. Think of the groupies!" Somehow that image just didn't gel. > > > > You got that impression here? The list used to be hosted > > by ecto.org. > > What difference does it make who hosts the list? Well, I guess it means the people who host this list are ecto fans, and I'd imagine if ecto was set up for ecto fans and ends up hosting a Robyn list, there could likely be a fair number of ecto-heads on the Robyn list. There are certainly some people here who'll put down ecto. I didn't even know what ecto was until I checked out www.ecto.org, and even then I thought it was their own term for that sort of music. We're probably more ecto-friendly than the Snoop Doggy Dog list. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 17:29:39 -0400 From: bocchi ball Subject: Re: Fallmost Aimless when we last left our heroes, The Great Quail exclaimed: >What makes you think she was acting, Mike?
