Classic rock isn’t just about loud guitars and catchy choruses. It’s a genre that aims to tell stories, build worlds, and dig into complex human experiences, all within a three to six-minute song. The music itself is iconic, but it’s the deep lyrics that have made these tracks last so long. They’ve gone from simple radio hits to cultural touchstones that still connect with people decades later. From Joni Mitchell’s poetic stories to the deep thoughts of Peter Gabriel’s lyrics, these amazing lyrics pull listeners into a better understanding of what it means to be human.

Pink Thing of The Day: Saving for a Custom Van, a Tribute to Adam Schlesinger

saving for a custom van

Adam Schlesinger, best known to most music fans as a member of the power pop band, Fountains of Wayne lost his life on April 1st of this year at the age of 52. One of the first musicians taken from us by the Corona Virus pandemic, Adam’s death is an immeasurable loss. In addition to founding Fountains of Wayne with Chris Collingwood, Schlesinger was a gifted and prolific songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who also recorded with electro-pop trio Ivy and ‘supergroup’ Tinted Windows (with Bun E. Carlos, James Iha and Taylor Hanson). Offstage, he had an impressive career writing music for film and television. I first met Adam in 1995, when I interviewed Fountains of Wayne during the press cycle for its debut album, and over the years I would see him occasionally at parties and industry events. He was a nice guy and an unbelievable talent. Everybody loved Adam.
