Weirdly, on pg 182 he goes back and forth between calling his dad’s mistress Tamara and Tereh. One must be a real name and one fake and he just missed a couple replacements. He did something similar in the first edition of Fast Times, where he left in “Clairemont High” at least once. #copyediting

Just finished reading the Cameron Crowe memoir. It’s good and—I’ve got to admit—often touching, especially with the family stuff. He’s always been more of a fan than a critic, which he admits, but the one thing he did learn from Lester Bangs is to lead with your heart.

Me: Wanna go see the Elvis movie?

Her: Not really?

Me: How can you wear a TCB necklace and not want to go see the Elvis movie? Don’t you feel like a poser?

Her: Haven’t I done enough Elvis stuff? I’ve been to Graceland five times, I’ve listened to more Elvis music than any woman my age,…

Found an old notebook and it contained the track list of a mixtape I made when I started getting into what I guess you could call alt-country. May 96. I still hadn’t discovered Gram Parsons!
