and of course i loved it. if that was in any doubt. 70s rock, jason lee, billy crudup, cameron crowe, road trips...okay, the kate hudson quasi-10-year-old quasi-porn was a little weird. and not just because i don't really like kate hudson that much. though, while we're on the subject, how the fuck does someone who acts in this film eventually go on to make multiple movies with matthew mcconaughey? or even just "sahara"? what the fuck?
aside from the movie itself (and the fact that there's apparently another cut, which has 36 more minutes of footage), the most important thing that happened upon my watching was the realization that i haven't listened to zeppelin's "rain song" in way too long. quite possibly my favorite song of theirs (definitely up there with "no quarter", "thank you", "the battle of evermore" and a few others, at least).
so of course i had to attack youtube this morning.
here's the album version if, for some reason, you've never heard this song:
here's a live version from 1975:
and just for the hell of it, here's "the song remains the same" from the same show:
