Meeting Adam Duritz of The Counting Crows
BackI told this story at a Moth Story Slam in 2002 and won. The theme was music, and my story was about desperately wanting to meet Adam Duritz of The Counting Crows, finally meeting him and realizing it's not what I wanted after all.

You're freaky good at telling stories. Reminiscent of Kevin Smith. I have no idea who you are and I still feel like I MUST know what's going to happen next.

I'd be weirded out too if random people I'd never seen before and will likely never see again came up and started talking to me and knew all these things about me.
Imagine, they know your name, age, interests, and all these other intimate details, and you know nothing about them.
Fucking weird.

People shouldnt assume that all Artists are are comfortable with their fans as some. His still a very talented man yet reading his lyrics he doesnt really seem like a guy that would be a very sociable at times...mabey im wrong?

Am I the only person who is not surprised by Adams behaviour i mean reading his lyrics he seems like a sad, synical "keep things to himself" kind of person nd apperently at the time Counting crows got big very quike unlike some bands who get a very slow learning curve to becoming stars but mabey this isnt the case I just personaly think people shouldnt assume that all musicians are going to be really comfortable with their fans nd doesnt make the assholes if they are. ps u r a gd story teller

This is a great story. It's weird 'cause the feelings you described about Adam were similar to what I was going through. I used to email the band's official contact thingy an try and solicit Adam to give me advice on my break up with my then-girlfriend. It was this really goofy, embarrassing time in my life....

hi! This is hysterical.....I'm glad you posted it. I've met Adam Duritz probably more then 20 times.....and I've had experiences like this before but I keep going back for more. At this point, he recognizes me and I just say "Hello". But this says it all....sadly, he doesn't have the presence that one would expect or hope for...luckily his words, when sung, speak for his lack of social skills.

First, Adam is an extremely gifted musician/songwriter, but second, he strikes me as a shy, quiet, and private person. I would not be upset if he seemed to be a bit put off with personal meetings with fans. The Crows went from nobody to success almost overnight. How do you adjust to that? It takes time.
