I had heard of his illness the other day. And although it sounded grim, I really expected him to pull through.

Man, that is a gut punch at that age. Loved his work on the Monkees and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, among so many others.

I'm so sorry to see this. Like Linda, I loved so much of his work. And so young. Just a real shame. You'll be missed Adam. RIP. :|

My favorite Fountains Of Wayne album featured one of the most iconic roads from my old hometown in Queens NY!

Quote:
The album is named after a major street that connects the neighborhoods of Utopia and Beechhurst in the Queens borough of New York City, and its street sign is featured on the album cover. According to Schlesinger, "The name is so evocative. It ties in all these different places and characters because there's such a sense of longing about it."

Some days we feel semi-immortal and other days we feel very mortal. Lately, I think we all feel a little more (or less, depending on how you look at this) mortal than usual.
