RIP Adam Schlesinger, songwriting genius, 52
« on: April 01, 2020, 11:29:10 PM »
Part of the songwriting duo behind Fountains of Wayne and and the man who wrote the irresistibly catchy title song for "That Thing You Do" (among many other credits) passed away today in a hospital in New York, suffering from COVID-19.

I am bereft.
