...removed from this," says Adam Duritz, referring to the college scene that he and the rest of Counting Crows are playing for much of the final leg of their U. S. tour. He is making reference to the time he spent as a student at both University of California at Davis and U. C. Berkeley a decade ago before Counting Crows even existed. The band is wrapping up a highly successful tour that has spanned a year-and-a-half and has brought it to the Boston area three times, including last week's performances at Brandeis University and UMass...

...even as our small-world omni-accessibility reduces our identities to IDs, and you into u ("While-U-Wait"), our coordinates multiply daily. Not long ago, one of my oldest friends gave me his number in Tokyo, his office number in Tokyo, his home fax number, his office fax number, his home and office numbers in Hong Kong, his fax numbers in both places, a 1-800 number for his voice mail, his mobile number, his mother's fax number, his office's fax number in London, his E-mail address--and the toll-free number for calling his voice...
