In the ’90s, Friends costars and IRL friends Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox took turns dating Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz. In his book, Slavin writes of this shot of Aniston and the “Mr. Jones” singer: “In the summer of ’95, Counting Crows was the biggest band in America, and we all spent a lot of time hanging out at a friend’s house on a little street north of Hollywood Blvd. called Hillside. For a few glorious months, it was our little oasis. Adam immortalized it in his top 10 hit ‘A Long December.'”
