The first clip (above) is between Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) and his brother, Duncan Mee (Thomas Haden Church). The second is Benjamin in a somewhat heated discussion with Kelly Foster (Scarlett Johansson). They aren’t spoilery, so check them out if you dare…

Cameron profiles and sits down for a chat with The Doobie Brothers in this August, 1975 interview for the L.A. Times. The interview focuses on guitarist Jeff “Skunk” Baxter and guitarist/vocalist Patrick Simmons, along with quotes from Pete Townshend and producer Ted Templeman. This is the incarnation of the band before singer Michael McDonald joined in 1976. While the band’s lineup has continued to change over the years, they still perform live and released an album in 2010 entitled World Gone Crazy.
Cameron shares some of his favorite concert set lists in the December 2011 issue of Filter magazine. He discusses the reasons for each inclusion along with the actual scan of the set list. Selections include Pearl Jam, Joni Mitchell, U2, Eddie Vedder, Simon and Garfunkel and My Morning Jacket. You can check out the full article in the Journalism section.

Head over there to read it all, but here’s a taste (the track listing of the infamous mix CD that Cameron made for Matt Damon).
Welcome to another edition of Inquire Within… Through your submissions, Cameron will answer your questions in his own words.
The Uncool: Tell us about your writing habits. How often do you write?
Cameron: I write every day. I listen to music every day. It’s kind of like keeping a creative radio-station tuned in. Life is always sending you a new playlist and I like to write down what’s coming in.
A typical day at the office! (Not really, just the set of Vanilla Sky)
Please send in your questions for Cameron and maybe yours will be part of a future installment of Inquire Within…
