Becoming Almost Famous by Ben Fong-Torres

Becoming Almost Famous by Ben Fong-Torres

This volume collects many of the best articles from veteran Rolling Stone writer Ben Fong-Torres. While many will recognize Ben as he was portrayed in Cameron Crowe's hit film Almost Famous, his thoughtful and engaging stories have been providing a backstage view for over 30 years. This book features a slew of entertaining and informative music and pop-culture pieces, as well as personal essays about growing up Asian-American and about Ben's interest in radio broadcasting. Through insightful introductions to every article, Fong-Torres offers an inside view of the writing and editing process, from getting an assignment and developing an idea to an article's completion in printed form.

Becoming Nearly Famous: My Back Pages in Music, Writing, and Life, Not Fade Away: A Backstage Pass to 20 Years of Rock & Roll, and The Hits Just Come on Coming: The History of Top 40 Radio are among Ben Fong-Torres' many works.
