I was stunned this morning when I read that the Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger had died due to complications from COVID-19. I have written about the group and Schlesinger’s music a number of times over the past two decades. Here are three related pieces from the Japan Times and a blog post. Apologies for the self-plagiarizing, but sometimes when you hit on a nice idea you just want to keep on using it.
