Out of the $50 million purse promised them by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, it spent a paltry $7 million--barely a long liquid lunch by Silicon Valley standards...
This isn't easy to say: Cameron Crowe's new movie, Almost Famous, is based on his own unique adolescence. Arrrrrrrrgh! you may be thinking. Here comes Crowe, another privileged male boomer, turning his teen years into a movie. How about a ticket to a sharp jab in the eye instead...
