Cameron Crowe (b. July 13, 1957) started out as a rock journalist for ''Magazine/RollingStone'' at the age of 15 in TheSeventies. While his colleagues at the magazine were indifferent to (if not contemptuous of) the HardRock, ProgressiveRock, and other popular music of the decade (including such groups/musicians as Music/JoniMitchell, Music/FleetwoodMac and Music/{{Eagles}}), Crowe was a fan of most of it, and was often the only journalist at the magazine willing or able to snare interviews with those bands/musicians.

** Also, his then-wife Nancy Wilson (of Music/{{Heart}}) wrote music for every movie he directed up through ''Film/{{Elizabethtown}}''.
** Had Jerry Zeismer as his First Assistant Director for every movie from through ''Film/AlmostFamous''.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: All of his films come out as idealistic, though they also show how tough it is to maintain that idealism. Best summed up by a line in ''Film/{{Singles}}'', when one character tells another, "You're a realist/dreamer."

Near the end of the decade, Crowe left the magazine and wrote ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh'', which became a film in 1982 (directed by Amy Heckerling).
