Cut up, Maria
Show me some of them Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
Cause I want to be someone who believes
-- Counting Crows

Funny thing about the Counting Crows, almost every song has at least a cameo by "Maria". The singer Adam says there's a piece of Maria in every song he sings, and she's someone he knows (though not known by the general public).

I had a ... um ... complex relationship with someone named Maria years ago, and I think of her when I listen to the Counting Crows. Though it's a common name, sometimes I wonder if it's the same Maria. The Maria I knew could have that effect on someone.

Nah, she was from, at various times, New Mexico, England, and LA (and S. Florida, where we met and where all sorts of adventures took place).

I figured "Maria" may be a pseudonym, but never really heard anything about it.
