The last addition today is from The San Diego Door‘s February 24, 1972 issue. It’s Cameron’s review of Keith Emerson with The Nice. He provides a brief history of Emerson, ELP and also looks at the ELP release, Pictures of an Exhibition.
Cameron talks with singer Rita Coolidge about her career and marriage to musician/actor Kris Kristofferson in this Rolling Stone interview from June, 1977. The album mentioned in this interview (Anytime…Anywhere) was a break out smash for Coolidge. Coolidge and Kristofferson were one of the big power couples of the ’70s. Coolidge and Kristofferson released one final duet album, Natural Act, in 1979, but their marriage was on the rocks, and they separated by the end of the year.
Coolidge never repeated the pop success of Anytime…Anywhere, but she did continue to land hits on the adult contemporary charts through the early ’80s.
Cameron profiled the band for Rolling Stone back in 1974. This was before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band. On a related note, don’t miss the very famous Mac profile that Crowe did three years later…
Cameron proudly introduces Bill Zehme’s book Intimate Strangers (which was published this past December). CC talks about his killer first sentence, his skills as a writer and interviews and (of course) Bill’s famous sit down with Warren Beatty.
Cameron reviews (and participates!) in Neil Young’s “Rust Never Sleeps” tour. You can read all about it in Crowe’s Rolling Stone story from November, 1978.
Cameron returns to Rolling Stone for the first time since September 2000 with a story entitled “The Backstage Pass”. The magazine is celebrating their 35th anniversary with an issue surrounding “American Icons”. The issue is at newsstands now..
Cameron contributed a nice story about his mother to Marlo Thomas’ book The Right Words at the Right Time. Muhammad Ali, Tom Brokaw, Cal Ripken Jr., Steven Spielberg, Venus Williams, Rudy Giuliani, Toni Morrison, Jack Nicholson, Mel Brooks, Billy Crystal, Tom Wolfe (and nearly 100 others) each tell a story of a crucial turning point in their lives brought about by the right words at the right time.
