I wish Adam would write a book. He is never dull and I always learn something fascinating when listening to him. This is another stellar interview.

This is the best interview from Adam I've ever heard. Can't wait for the new record!

[@xreekax]

I agree! I’ve been following him since 1996!

[@sarvin4471]

"It's not the place to discover that you're famous" is such a funny line 😂

[@garyjohnstonemusic]

Beautiful ep. You're one of the guys who asks the right Q's and gives space for the A's

[@AmberDavis-cd2fi]

I adore Adam!! I’ve loved him since I was 14… in 1992

[@sarvin4471]

Scott Lipps is a great interviewer. Even though Adam said he's kind of introverted, he felt so comfortable and was able to share everything in a very organic way and Scott talking over him didn't feel like interruptions but just fluent conversation. It's such a perfect interview because it doesn't seem like Scott knows him well but he knows him enough to be able to ask good questions and relate to him but not be so close that the audience feels like they're distant from them and isn't included in on the conversation. Just such great interview skills.

Incredible. I miss the counting crows and I’m going back into catalogue as a result of this interview. Sweet, authentic down to earth human and Lipps and he had amazing chemistry. He just let him go. Loved it !

one of my favorites (Adam of CC) wearing one of my favorites (the 1975). Great interview--thanks!

My sister introduced me to Counting Crows when I was in middle school and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. We go to their concert every time they come through Nashville. I truly believe Adam is a lyrical genius. He creates lyrical masterpieces! By far my favorite band and has been for years and years! Fantastic interview!

[@jeffbrassard1268]

Ditto Steve, I have seen Counting Crows a couple of times in Nashville (Ascend & Ryman) - great shows. I think Adam is the same league as Bob Dylan and Neal Young as far as lyrics go.

[@AmberDavis-cd2fi]

I’ve always said that Adam sings the words to my diary ❤❤

[@carolynnkingyens1000]

I learned the fundamentals of poetry writing by listening to August and Everything After, and Tori Amos' first three albums - Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink, and Boys for Pele. August and Everything After is one of the most poetic albums. In fact, this line from "Anna Begins" is the epigraph of my debut book Before the Big Bang Makes a Sound - "Oh," she says, "you're changing" / But we're always changing. A great nod to Heraclitus as well. Duritz is for sure a poet.

Adam needs his own podcast!

[@R3s3Rve]

That part❤

[@GoFarAway5338]

KSAN...so great...I remember it traveling from Sacramento in SF on weekends

[@wackolil]

Met Adam early on at Merriweather Post, he gestured for me to get down so he could watch the opening band. It crushed me. Crushed. Still love the music ❤

[@jarne_tpwk]

I love counting crows

[@andreah9198]

Amazing interview!! ❤

[@OneStepCloserToTheEdge23]

Awesome interview. I never knew Adam went to UC Davis (I live in Davis!)

[@trevawhitmoyer682]

Adam -Your song from MTV (Mr. Jones) was the first song to stick in my mind for multiple days. Seriously!

[@StefsRockShow]

Great interview ❤

[@Skottink]

He makes a great point about record labels there not bad or evil there very necessary you mean certain people are bad. But distribution and marketing isn't cheap or easy they get you discovered to many more people then you could ever do on your own. To put on a concert isn't cheap etc.

[@Skottink]

This one and his Rogan were interview has been his best. He went into his parents a little more on Rogan more personal stuff but this is still great. Dad was a doctor an so is his mom. She became one later

[@NVaughan81]

Love this interview. Is it just me or does Scott kinda sound like Anthony Jeselnik?

[@Purplejazz560]

the reverend from avenged sevenfold? adam has always been a hero of mine. round here is an amazing song.

[@rodneychassagne7243]

Seen them last night at central park. Good band even though i don't like any of there songs lol. I can respect quality 👌

[@AmberDavis-cd2fi]

I just noticed Adam is wearing a The 1975 tshirt!! So am I. Mine is The 1975 Ugh

[@Unity1975]

Scott, you said you never watched Shrek “growing up”….the first movie came out in ‘01 😂
