...instrument-destroying thing. There is a familiar solipsism. Alternative rock, says Atlantic Records' Danny Goldberg, who managed both Nirvana and Sonic Youth, ''takes itself very seriously. It's very similar to the '60s.'' Plus the jeans, the extremely long hair . . . ''I look at Nirvana and Soul Asylum,'' says Jann Wenner, the 47-year-old founder of Rolling Stone, ''and I practically get acid flashbacks.'' In other words: been there, done that. For any smug baby boomer, it is pleasant to see the young so precisely following in one's footsteps. A century ago, there was Dostoyevsky on the one hand...
Make a few phone calls, and you'll easily find endorsements. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner calls Almost Famous "probably the most accurate and heartfelt rock-'n'-roll movie I've ever seen." Tom Cruise, who has already seen Crowe's movie twice, raves about "the depth he has in his characters." Full disclosure: both men are friends of the writer-director.

Williams and director Michael Patrick Jann are as eager to deride Middle America, with its oppressively cheerful whiteness, as they were to exploit the area's hospitality; the film was shot in half a dozen Minnesota towns. As Amber says, "The whole thing's kinda sad and lame at the same time...
Being right--accurate--has been important to Wolfe since his earliest days as a New Journalist, when he wrote feature stories so vividly, employing such a wide array of techniques borrowed from fiction that some readers didn't believe they could be true. Jann Wenner, founder, editor and publisher of Rolling Stone, opened his magazine's pages to early versions of The Right Stuff, Bonfire and A Man in Full, and is a Wolfe friend and fan. "Many years ago, he used to get knocked for making stuff up," Wenner says. "But in my experience with him, which...
