Adam Schlesinger was one of the best pop songwriters in the history of the medium. Fountains of Wayne is an all-time great rock band, "That Thing You Do" is a modern classic, and even the deliberately stupid "Pop! Goes My Heart" (from "Music and Lyrics") is inspired. The man just couldn't seem to write a bad song. His loss is an incalculable blow to the world of music, but he leaves behind a legacy that will last and last and last.
Thank you for living, Adam Schlesinger. You really had it going on.
