The Uncool I had so much fun with “The Uncool” by Cameron Crowe! I was all about music in the 1970s, and so was Crowe. He was just 16 when he became a professional journalist, interviewing rock bands from his Southern California home base and on the road. He’s such a good writer that he pulls the reader in and takes them along with him.
