In this final installment of The Morning X's backstage interview with Adam Duritz, the rock frontman gets completely real about the bizarre realities of living in the spotlight. Listen in as Adam reveals the Hollywood hotspot where he hid out as a bartender to escape the early circus of his sudden fame, and hear his raw frustration over the invasive, completely fabricated world of tabloid dating rumors. They discuss the terrifying lengths aggressive paparazzi will go to provoke a physical fight, leading Adam to defend a famous actor friend's notorious, violent reaction to the flashing cameras. Plus, find out how Adam's own sister accidentally ruined his cool rocker image in a magazine interview, and discover the legendary first concerts he ever attended as a kid.

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
