An Interview With Adam Duritz UK
FACE001CD
February 3, 2003
compact disc
30 track, 74 minute phone interview with Adam Duritz. The back of the cd reads : Conducted in February 22nd during a sell-out tour of the UK, this frank and entertaining interview with Counting Crows mainman Adam Duritz offers a fascinating insight into the complex mind of one of America's most intelligent and famous rock stars. The multi-million selling songwriter behind MrJones talks intimately of his personal relationships which have included 'Friends' stars Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox, his friendship with Johnny Depp, and how he nearly lost his mind to hallucinogens. We hear about the often improvised and generally inspired making of the album This Desert Life , which records are on the Duritz CD player, and how a refusal in the part of the BBC to play their records has cost the band millions of pounds in unrecovered tour expenses and prevented them from breaking the British market. In other words a classic tale of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll...

Adam Duritz Fun Factoid #116
Adam is quoted on the back inside flap of A&R: A Novel by Bill Flanagan. It reads:

"You begin with the things you love. You end up with the things you'll do. And one day you find yourself staring at a line on the ground, knowing that if you cross that line you'll never be the same again. A&R is the story of a music junkie's journey across that line, and Bill Flanagan tells it with all the color and the authenticity that could only come from years spent on the musical midway. From the musicians, all their dreams and disappointments and the strings from which they dangle, to the men and women who jerk those strings, A&R is a straight-up, high-fidelity ride."
-Adam F. Duritz of Counting Crows
