Rest In Peace Adam Schlesinger. Adam Schlesinger died yesterday due to complications from Covid-19. Adam was one of the co-founders of the band Fountains of Wayne. I discovered this band later in their career, well after Stacy's Mom had come and gone. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert a few years ago and was wowed by their energy, sound, and the tightness of their sets. They are in my top ten. I will miss his talent.
This disease is so unpredictable. Adam was 2 years younger than me. That tends to put a little fear in you. It is a sobering reminder that the precautions that are being put in place truly have a purpose. Stay in - keep your distance - wash your hands.
Fountains of Wayne have been on my constant play rotation on Spotify for about 10 years. I was always eagerly awaiting their next album hoping they would fix whatever wasn't working and reunite. The thing I love most about the band is the way they craft everyday stories- many centered on the east coast - about lives that you and I live. His songs mad a difference in my life. And that seems a pretty good legacy for a songwriter to leave.
So here's to you, Adam!
