Zoom From Cameron Crowe’s WhoSay site: Just found this… Matt Dillon’s hair test for Singles… 1991? (Photo © 2011 Cameron Crowe)“I shot the making-of-the-movie thing for Singles. The best moment was the day that Matt Dillon was trying on his Eddie Vedder wig. He was assuming the role of a hybrid Eddie Vedder/Chris Cornell. We all had to go and give our opinions on 120 wigs that they pulled. I remember Matt being very insecure. You know, Matt Dillon is Matt Dillon. He doesn’t wear a wig. If anything, the guy plays himself, so he seemed super-uneasy with it.” —video director Josh Taft, from Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge
