So I am still feeling like crapola today and decided to take a "Work from home" sick day that actually doesn't use one of my sick days. But I did venture out to my local pizza joint for some lunch, and while I was there a song was playing. A song that will forever be linked in my mind and the minds of many to a single movie. The song is "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John and that movie is Almost Famous. For those uneducated folk who have never seen this film, you are definitely missing out. But the scene takes place after a huge fight within the band and the "Charismatic Guitarist with mystique" runs off and gets totally wasted on booze and drugs. Needless to say, the band finds him and puts him back on the tour bus. Nobody wants to talk about the fight or discuss anything that was said. But the power of song, and particularly Elton's crooning in this melody, brings them all back together.
So why is this so prevalent in my mind? Well, I signed up for a screenwriting competition yesterday, and I am forming a team to compete in the Philadelphia 48 Hour Film Project, and maybe, just maybe, I'll get back to working on my screenplay.
"Hold me closer tiny dancer!"
