The Uncool: A Memoir, Cameron Crowe, Audiobook Read by author (2025)

Note: This is part of a series on memoirs read by their authors. #AudioMemoir

Previously in this series: Neko Case

Coming soon: Wayne Kramer, Evan Dando, Larry Charles

Listening to Crowe’s warm narration as he mines his teen music journalism years for laughs and tears, it felt like Almost Famous: Writer's Cut. 

A love letter to the 1970s, with Rock Stars galore, from Lou Reed to Dicky Betts. Tales of long tours, late nights, and chance encounters. All guided by mentor Lester Bangs. 

Light on movie career, but has choice Fast Times stories. Even winning an Oscar is quick business. 

Not the box set of his life, rather a double album. But in the end, it is a story about a family in San Diego.

Listen to it.
