KPRI106.5 A ROCK 'N' ROLL TIMELINE
ALMOST FAMOUS - Written & directed by Cameron Crowe The film, set in 1973, is director Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical account of life as a young Rolling Stone reporter. The actual group Crowe first toured with was The Allman Brothers Band. Gregg Allman distrusted him, and kept asking if he was a narc. Crowe was in a near-fatal plane crash while traveling with The Who. The character of Russell Hammond is based on Glenn Frey of Eagles.
Original DVD cover, too sexy? Redone DVD cover, welcome to mass marketing.
View north on 7th St. The actual KPRI office is out of frame, behind us and on the left. The KPRI studio scenes for the movie were shot in the corner office to the far left in this photo, where it barely shows. The map below points to it.
