I mean, most everyone was on cocaine, but it seemed like as soon as they really made it, she was all over them. Marc Spitz (journalist): She was like their Yoda. James Barber (former A&R executive): Courtney thought the Strokes were a positive cultural influence. Ryan Gentles (manager, the Strokes): I introduced Jim Barber and Ryan Adams. You’re like, “Oh, that reminds me of a song I wrote.” And you play a G chord and he’s like, “I know what you’re talking about,” and he grabs the guitar back. (guitarist, the Strokes): When he shows you a song, he doesn’t stop for hours.
I mean, that to me was the beginning of the end.įabrizio Moretti (drummer, the Strokes): He would come over to our apartment a lot.Īlbert Hammond Jr. Gideon Yago (journalist): Ryan Adams, he was one of those guys where I just remember being like, I just don’t know. John sat down and played the fucking acoustic guitar - three or four songs that probably have gone on to be huge - while those guys just sat there staring at me like, Oh my God, you’re a witch. The doorbell buzzer rings, and I open the door, and John Mayer walks in with his fucking acoustic guitar, and they were all slack-jawed. We smoked some bong hits I probably did some blow.
So everyone is sitting there and I was like, “Let’s all take bong hits.” I really wanted it to get crazy. I really want to hear your new song.” I didn’t tell them that I’d done it. So I texted him, because he was always up late back then. So one night, jokingly, I’m almost certain, Fabby said, “Dude, what if John Mayer was playing that guitar right now?” And I said, “I can make that happen.” Now, I lived down the block from John Mayer, and he’d been talking to me about his new song for a while. Fab would always play me a song that he had written, some beautiful, romantic song. We were really stoned because we were basically always smoking pot. Ryan Adams (musician): One night I was hanging with the Strokes guys and Ryan.
