166. Adam Schlesinger: The King of Power Pop
b'
One of the greatest moments in this show\\u2019s history is when we realized Adam Schlesinger wrote an absolute TON of songs we\\u2019ve enjoyed over the years. Adam was extremely prolific in his career as a song writer for multiple Grammy winning and nominated bands, in addition to TV and film, and he even claimed a Tony win for the writing of Cry Baby on Broadway.
We swore to ourselves we would have Adam on the show some day, but on April 1st he passed away. We were both pretty devastated from the news and decided to take some time to remember the beloved moments we had with his music. He seemed to just understand people and the music they\\u2019d love, and a genius like him is a pretty rare thing to discover in their time.
