" - Adam Schlesinger " Scotland is a picturesque country where the people are friendly yet completely incomprehensible. Also, the national delicacy is a sheep’s stomach filled with its liver, lungs, and heart. " - Adam Schlesinger " I tend to write songs that are about something pretty specific. A lot of them tell some kind of little made-up story. " - Adam Schlesinger " Most of the jobs I’ve gotten are from people calling me.
