The ATV Interview: Adam Duritz of Counting Crows (part one)

15 Albums That Changed My Life – Super-Sized Edition
The following post is ripped straight from my Facebook page…..kind of. I’ve been amused recently by the people that are irritated by the rising amount of Top 5/10/15/25 “chain letter” posts on Facebook. “Don’t turn Facebook into Myspace,” is one of the pleas that I read from one person.
