Here is an interview with Cameron Crowe discussing the film "Almost Famous" and Neil Young's "almost" scene.

From "How music shaped Cameron Crowe’s life, from Tom Petty to Almost Famous" | Q with Tom Power:

Cameron Crowe on Neil Young's "Almost" "Almost Famous" Scene @ ~~24:30.

In 1983, Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky, Almost Famous) was an ambitious young music journalist who had just released his debut film: a documentary about Tom Petty, titled “Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party.”

It aired once on MTV and was never seen again. Now, that lost documentary is arriving for the first time in cinemas. The Oscar-winning director joins Tom to discuss his first film, his early life as a rock journalist, his upcoming Joni Mitchell biopic, and how Neil Young was originally cast in “Almost Famous.” 

More on Neil Young's Deleted Scene in Cameron Crowe's ‘Almost Famous’ Film, which brought great delight in memories of this iconic and essential "time capsule" film.

Neil Young: "Why I Love Kamala Harris"

"Why I Love Kamala Harris"
Neil Young Archives  (Click photo to enlarge)

Neil Young has endorsed Kamala Harris for President, per a statement on Neil Young Archives.

Young writes: "Cast your vote for a beautiful future for your family."

He goes on to say:

“Kamala Harris — She is an honest forthright truth teller who is experienced in the White House, free from ambiguity or evasiveness, who goes straight to the point.”

"Clear headed, young enough to hold the office for a couple of bright future terms, Kamala Harris is a good person who is unafraid to take on criminals and uphold the law of the USA. She's my candidate for the future of this country.

"Kamala Harris will take on the billionaire class and make them pay their fair share of taxes. She will not owe them favors. She is a kind, considerate American."

And recall, back in 2020:  Neil Young: "I don't hate Trump. I do hate that he is President".

Neil Young in 2020: "I'm Happy To Report In. Vote Your Conscience."
