Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately?

Music documentaries love the myth of the tortured artist. But what happens when reflection becomes narrative control?

In this episode of RBR.music, we take a hard look at Have You Seen Me Lately? the Counting Crows documentary that frames vulnerability as revelation, but rarely risks interrogation. Is this a brave portrait of fame and mental health? Or a carefully managed exercise in self-mythology?

We examine the film’s lack of tension, its avoidance of accountability, and the difference between confession and genuine exposure. Because saying something out loud isn’t the same as understanding it.
