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?
