So, if I could pick one person in the world to meet, be in the same room with, listen to them sing, and actually get to ask them music questions it would be Adam Duritz of The Counting Crows. I have loved and admired his words and music since High School. I have had the chance to see them play about seven times now, but never like this.
This past weekend I went to visit my sister in San Fransisco, she is a big fan of Counting Crows too, and when we found out that the weekend I was planning to visit was the same weekend they were doing a free show at the Apple store in S.F, we were so excited!
We got to the Apple store at 7:00 a.m on Sunday morning, for a show that started at 4:00....we are die hard fans. Long story short, we got in and the venue was like watching them in my living room. He called on me to ask him a question and I kid you not, he was singing a lot of the songs to me. I thought that I was possibly imagining this because it would be like a dream come true, but my sister confirmed it. When I spoke to him, my heart was beating out of my chest and according to my sister I turned into a tomato. This has never happened to me in this way before....a bit embarrassing. But I got out my question and just kept on breathing.
This was like, as I explained to my Mom, if she had this experience with John Lennon. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and a day that I will never forget. A seriously cool day.
