[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adam Duritz from Counting Crows has talked a lot in interviews about what he got out of his college education and how it helped his music.  He studied English at Berkeley.  (He didn't graduate, but was one paper shy.)  His music really does reflect his education.

Adam has also been very candid about how music goes from a passion to a job once you make it your career.

You might do a search for interviews with Adam Duritz.

I'd keep reminding your son that music is better when you have experiences and knowledge to write about.  Literary and historical references make music richer, but you need information in your head to do that.  He needs to educate himself.[/quote]

Is Adam Duritz more popular than Shawn Mendes?  I don't recall Shawn Mendes ever attended college and he writes good music.[/quote]
Is it a competition?  Adam Duritz has several decades of experience on Shawn and is undeniably successful in the music industry.  If you want to compare net worths, Adam beats Shawn about about $20m.

But truly, it's a silly question to even ask.  Adam has given interviews on the topic and has a pretty mature perspective that may be useful for OP.  It's not the only perspective, but it's good to hear from a rock star that values education and considers that it has improved his music.[/quote]
