I always thought this was an original phrase when I saw Jerry Maguire
when it came out years ago, but actually, no, it's from Joni
Mitchell's "Court & Spark"... still a good movie, but kind of insipid
around the edges in retrospect like a lot of Cameron Crowe. Kind of
like somethign sweet you gobble up and regret. Vanilla Sky was the
same way. In Jerry M I always think about how the jazz enthusiast is
labelled as a nerd in the movie, presumably because he doesn't
understand rock n roll. funny, because jazz has indisputably more of
a claim to authenticity than pop rock--it betrays a chip on the
shoulder of rock (or this filmmaker) a weird insecurity. maybe that
character was in his groupie film, can't remember.
