<p><strong>The long-awaited memoir by Cameron Crowe-one of America's most iconic journalists and filmmakers-revealing his formative years in rock and roll and bringing to life stories that shaped a generation, in the bestselling tradition of Patti Smith's <em>Just Kids</em>. If you've seen <em>Almost Famous</em>, you may think you know this story, but you don't.</strong></p><p>'Cameron has written a book that feels like music, an intimate souvenir, like a song you can't stop listening to' <strong>STEVIE NICKS</strong></p><p>'If you're a lover of music, or you've ever been in love, then you have something to say.
