Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous is one of my favourite movies of all time. For those who haven't seen it, it follows the adventures of a high school boy in the 1970's who ends up touring the U.S. with one of his favourite bands while writing for Rolling Stone magazine.
By far the best scene in the movie is one where, after a dramatic night of hard-partying, a few tourbus members finally track down the band's frontman, and convince him to get back on the bus while still in one piece. He finally concedes, and joins his furious bandmates for a brutally uncomfortable and tension-filled ride ahead. The bus is dead silent until finally, a few of them break into an awesome sing-along rendition of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" (click the link below for reference).
Why am I telling you this, you ask? Quite simply because for the past 10 years it's been one of my life's ambitions to recreate this scene. On the bus to Daejeon this weekend, we did it.
My life is complete.
