-A couple of months ago, I have a Counting Crows song
going through my head.
I went on YouTube, looked up a video,
and it led me to a performance they did on your CBS show
in 1997.
I don't know if you remember, but you said you were
a huge fan. You had them on a couple nights
in a row because you liked them so much.
And I thought maybe this was the right time...
-Again, very kind. Thank you.
Of course. Let's do that song again.
Here is Adam Duritz. -Oh, man!
With "A Long December."
-Excellent! Wow!
