Adam Duritz Defends Collaboration With Mandy Moore

Adam Duritz is defending himself against the flak he’s received from some fans about his collaborations with Mandy Moore for her upcoming record. The Counting Crows singer posted on his blog that it was premature for people to judge him – or her. “You haven’t heard it,” he wrote. “This is a girl who made a few records she had little to do with when she was a kid … the only record she made that she had any control over was the Coverage album and that’s actually pretty good. She’s growing up … she wants to write songs and really make some music she can believe in. But all of this is up in the air until she produces her next record. Then you can have an opinion. Until then, let me respectfully request that you shut your fu**ing pie holes.”
