Show Notes
How many bands would give their right arm to hit the big time and have their song played everywhere? To tour the world and take their music to the masses? Well, Counting Crows did. Their singer Adam Duritz wrote a hit song called Mr. Jones about hitting the big time. And then when the very song he wrote pulverized radio and made them huge stars, Adam hated it. He detested Mr. Jones and at the peak of selling millions of records and playing sold-out shows… he cracked. Adam Duritz quit music and took a job as a bartender… hiding out. Could anything pull him back into music? Find out next with one of the craziest stories of a band on Professor of Rock.
