Adam Schlesinger, a musician and songwriter highly regarded for his work as a member of Fountains of Wayne and an Emmy-winning songwriter for TV’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” has died as a result of coronavirus complications, Variety has confirmed. He was 52.
Schlesinger died Wednesday morning. He was divorced and is survived by two daughters.
He had previously been reported Tuesday morning as “very sick and heavily sedated” by his attorney of 25 years, Josh Grier. He had been in an upstate New York hospital for more than a week at that time, Grier said. More
Never heard of “Fountains of Wayne,” that’s OK, chances are you’ve heard Schlesinger’s music. Here

Conan O’Brian remembers Adam and Fountains for their performance of the Kinks, “Better Things” on his late night show after 9/11. It was one of these events that sort of helped turn the corner after that tragedy. Here
He probably had some underlying conditions and made him more susceptible Lujan virus.
But you’ll never be told about those underlying conditions.
Great songwriter, RIP.
Excellent song, Hackensack:

So, underlying conditions or not, he was still murdered by the Chinese
I also read today that Bill Withers died (today?). “Lovely Day” is my favorite non-gospel song, too. He died of “heart complications”. He was 81.

I read that he had pancreatic cancer. Media wants so bad to overhype Covid in order to do in Trump/USA. That’s why it’s kind of a mistake to allow your historic enemies to dominate your media/entertainment/advertising. They’re leveraging Covid for excessive destruction.
Adam Schlesinger was the paragon of health!!

He also wrote the theme song for the movie “That Thing You Do”
I really liked Fountains of Wayne’s first album
Awesome song writer too bad the only thing he’ll be remembered for is Stacey’s mom
