Episode Transcript: #1656 - Adam Duritz

Train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day

Hello Adam. Hello Joe. How you doing? I'm pretty good. It's good to see you. It's nice

to meet you man. It's nice to be, I've been a fan of your work for a long fucking time.

It's always weird when you meet someone that you listen to their music or you've seen their

stuff and you're like, oh you're just a normal human being. There you are. A little whacked

out but yeah. But it's, you know, like I remember watching Mr. Jones on MTV and I love that fucking

video man and I love that you dancing in that, was it like a living room or something like that?

Yeah. I'm like, I want to be that free. Like you seem so loose. You were so in the moment. I

remember thinking that. I remember talking to a friend of mine that night after a show. I was at

a bar. I was like, you ever see that Mr. Jones video? I go, when that dude's dancing, I go,

I want to like figure out how to get there. Shit, I want to be that free. You know, it's a weird

thing. I used to, I'm gonna take this off for now. I used to be, for me, you know, life is often very

awkward and uncomfortable but not on stage. You know, like on stage I always felt like, well,

this is the one place on everything I do is fine. So when I started, you know, making videos,

at first it was just like, this is apps, this is easy because all I got to do is do the stuff I'm

gonna do, you know, and there's nothing wrong I can do. I can just be as free as I want and that

lasts about a year and a half, maybe two years. Something that like getting really famous out

of nowhere and then, you know, all the kind of backlash that comes with it. I noticed a couple

years later I was a lot more self-conscious. I'm still, on stage I never think about anything.
