"I'm 43, single and I sit at home a lot. I wasn't supposed to f--- this up quite so badly."
--Adam Duritz

In addition to touting his bedroom skills, the Counting Crows frontman spoke candidly about his disappointing life to Blender.

I think he has great musical talent. The Counting Crows were excellent. Did you ever listen or try to understand the lyrics? As far as it goes with his issue....looks like someone needs to get out a little more instead of being a hermit!

As we all know, the special needs adults get more attention, looks, stares, etc.. They don't have much of a social life, and they have a hard time with academics. Adam Duritz seriously looks like he has Down's Syndrome. The way he wears his glasses and does
his hair, also don't help to hinder that special needs
look! Poor Adam, probably a very intelligent guy with a lot of talent, but all of his life, has been stereotyped.

I thought he had a boyfriend.

Maybe if he wasn't so full of himself and toned down his ego a few notches.
That and get rid of those "clip on dog turds" he has attached to his head.
You'd think that by now he'd have some 3 foot long natural dreds.
Also, at least he has a home to go to.

David, I'm at a loss as to how Adam Duritz sitting home has ANY relevance to his ability to hear. It seems to me you're completely obsessed with your deafness, and your vitriolic self-pity is your true disability.

He's gross. I've always thought so.
