Counting Crows "Mr. Jones"

So many albums from my formidable high school years turn 25 this year. One such is August & Everything After from Counting Crows. The album introduced the world to "Mr. Jones" late in 1993. The angst-filled alternative song is all about the internal struggles of band's lead singer, Adam Duritz, who just wanted to believe that if he was a big star...girls would like him. Despite being the band's biggest hit and signature song, nowadays Duritz rarely performs the song at his concerts.
