Spotted: Adam Duritz Blocking The Subway Doors

Photo via NYC the Blog

What's Adam Duritz of Counting Crows fame up to these days? After seeing this photo it's our belief that he is riding the rails, looking for love, going home and penning Missed Connections while listening to August and Everything After on repeat. Okay, we want to believe that, but he's got a girlfriend, and as this photo shows, he's too busy being a textbook subway douche. (Yes, we've confirmed with the NYC the Blog folk that in this photo he isn't trying to get out of the train—he rode in that spot, blocking the door, until Bleecker Street; this photo was taken at 59th Street.) If the Rain King can't show a little courtesy underground, what chance have we got?

That isn't him, he isn't anywhere near the door or blocking anything and this isn't news. Your site is turning to shit. Get some real editors who know what a news story is and get it together.

If you want news, then I suggest you go to the Times website. Everything here is culled (i.e. stolen) from other sites with real reporters.

This site is specifically for generating page hits from the 20 people who regularly comment, so the owners can generate ad revenue from crap nobody wants to see/eat/consume.

then why the fuck are you here?

Because I'm slacking. Same as everyone else.

JacqueMehoff

that's telling it like it is.

there's a difference between having to much time on their hands and having Too much time on their hands.

You see this with people who post on multiple sites, one wonders if they ever go out or more importantly work.

Used to see him around Berkeley regularly when I was a student...he was an alright guy.

I read somewhere that it's really a wig...

I saw Duritz walk past the Cube Wednesday night. Much larger man than I expected him to be. He was three Tom Cruise's tall.

btw, James Carville in the same shot! Score.

claudiachloe

Regardless of his guilt, MAN, I hate his look and then also his music. Blech.

whitecastlerock

Why not comment on the fact that he's still rockin the 1990s fad of white man with dreads.... Nah, he may be blocking a door!

Crapola

You guys need to start meeting up and deciding if a blog is worthwhile to post, he's nowhere near the door.

hotstepper

quit harshin' his buzz you slack-jawed yokels.

shovel lover

Agreed, he's not blocking the door...this is filler content! C'mon, gothamist!

JacqueMehoff

is that one of the newer cars with the fold up seats at the end? I'm guessing because of the handrail by the door.

dirty hipster

Exactly - I hate those trains, the area near the fold up seats doesn't have enough railings to hold onto.

Mister Duritz wishes he was someone just a little more considerate

John_Matrix

can you believe this asshole banged jennifer aniston, courtney cox, winona ryder, mary louise parker, etc.?

but round here is my jam.

S.K.

Duritz banged Jennifer Aniston, who also slept with douchey singer John Mayer.

I cringe when I hear that song and that dude is gross. What do the ladies like about him? You know how dirty a white guy has to be to get dreads- like really stinky. I'll bet Mary Louise Parker changed all her pillowcases when she rolled over the next morning and realized what she was sleeping with - his doughy white belly flopped out before her in the morning sun.
