While we're at it, what's your opinion of the guy from Counting Crows?

Just a really weird guy, but he could write lyrics. One of the crazy stories about Pops Midnight (RIP) - a man born before WWII - an Elvis man who didn't like those new fangled "Beatles" or anything with distorted guitars (although he also liked The Eagles and didn't mind Skynyrd) - he LOVED Mr. Jones and Me. LOVED it.

Damnedest thing. Duritz's enduring legacy with me is that - despite looking like he didn't bathe and would smell bad (greasy, like Jermaine Jackson always looks greasy), he nailed some of the hottest women in Hollywood in his day - I think he was with one of the Friends girls (he went from Anniston to Cox or vice versa), while he was also banging Applegate during the later years of MwC, until he got caught.

Another unique delivery guy, but I was never a huge fan of Counting Crows - certainly not much past the big radio hits.
