    I have loved Almost Famous since I saw it when it first came out...but I never knew until last week or so that Russell Hammond was based on Glenn!
    and so I rewatched my Almost Famous dvd of course!

    right on..I see it..and I've read that same cameron crowe article that was quoted earlier.
    I love Glenn's little tip for keeping a buzz!

    a screenshot I took from Almost Famous:

    Russell Hammond or Glenn Frey?

    Wow!!!! I had no idea that the movie was based on Glenn Frey. I haven't seen that movie in a long time and may need to watch it once again. Tiffany, that screenshot does look like Glenn from behind. I wonder when it is on tv again.

    You came along and changed my life Glenn!!

    If you have the Untitled version on DVD, you can listen to Cameron talk about the movie and he has several Glenn tidbits. The version of poker that they are playing in the movie is Eagle poker. (That Glenn invited in 1947, the year before he was born).

    One character is based on him, not the entire film.

    yeahh i think I knew that about the Eagle poker. I have the extended edition bluray but for some reason it has no special features like that! it has a featurette and a lester bangs interview. i think my friend has that editon you're talking about though! I'll have to borrow it!

    and that was so cute that scene where Glenn talks about the Eagle poker!
    he's so hot

    I have the version with the bonus commentary by Cameron Crowe. I listened to that right away after I bought it, but I haven't watched the movie yet. They show scenes from the movie throughout his commentary so I got a good feel for what the movie is like. It is interesting. I especially enjoyed hearing that Cameron thought of Glenn as a big brother!
