A few months ago, author Geoff Harkness released the book "Rain King: The Life and Music of Adam Duritz and Counting Crows".https://www.amazon.com/Rain-King-Music-Duritz-Counting/dp/B0C5241RM4We review the book (not-so-spoiler alert:  it's an absolute necessity for CC fans), interview Geoff, and have fun conversations about a number of CC topics.  In this first hour (of two), topics include: Geoff's motivation behind this labor of love, the early/official CC message boards, what kind of fans go to the shows nowadays, the 2000-ish strategy of CD "hidden tracks", the Coke commercial/Pearl Jam "rivalry", how Adam balances his dual-motivations of fame and artistic vision, and whether CC fans really do have the highest IQ.
