Send us your questions for Cameron Crowe!

There really aren’t enough films where the hero is a music journalist. But thanks to Cameron Crowe, there is at least one: 2000’s Oscar-winning Almost Famous, which helped to bring some much-needed legitimacy to the notion of asking philosophical questions to spaced-out guitarists for a living.

Crowe, of course, was once that teenage music journalist himself: Rolling Stone’s youngest ever correspondent, charming his way into the confidence of bands like The Allman Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles and Led Zeppelin.

In 1981, he wrote Fast Times At Ridgemont High, which was turned into a cult movie of the same name. Crowe soon became an acclaimed film director himself, making Singles, Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous and Vanilla Sky among others, before eventually gravitating back towards the music world with documentaries about Pearl Jam and David Crosby, and an upcoming biopic of Joni Mitchell.

Now he’s about to publish his memoir, The Uncool, which takes us back to those halcyon ’70s days, with a cover endorsement from Stevie Nicks.

And while he’s in reflective mood, he’s kindly submitted to a gentle grilling from you, the Uncut readers. So, what do you want to ask a titan of both the music writing and film directing worlds? Email your questions to audiencewith@uncut.co.uk by Tuesday (October 7) and Cameron will answer the best ones in a future issue of Uncut.
