i'll let pantheon reply to the statement above. just yesterday i was reading up on Adams on wiki and saw this crazy story of Courtney Love claiming that Ryan stole $858,000 from her daughter! http://stereogum.com/archives/wheres-the-beef/courtney-love-ryan-adams -stole-858k-from-frances-b_011141.html i would be interested to read Ryan's reaction. that's pretty wild. _________________ I am Torgo.

Post subject: Ryan Adams is quick to react, for whatever reason Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2008 2:27 am
He's definitely a firecracker, and likes sharing opinions and defending his own. I always found his interactions with pitchforkmedia worth reading: here are some interviews: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/search/pitchforkmedia/ryan%20adams%20typ e%3Afeature and then there's the general news blips and ongoing back and for the have with him, down to biting answering machine messages that us all the tape that are chronicled via a general search, with results rivaling a search for "Old Dirty Bastard" on MTV news, where his adventures in his brief lifetime were chronicled, in all their ridiculous glory (pulling up in a limo to collect his foodstamps after the release of his first album...). It must be a NYC thing to live those kind of lives. We just gawk from a safe distance, rubbernecking to no end. http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/search/pitchforkmedia/ryan%20adams _________________ yup, that's my name.

I will be seeing him with the gf this weekend in St. Louis, so long as he doesn't do what other wildcard rockers tend to do here (Axl started a Riot, Travis Meeks fired the entire band, Days of the New, thus canceling their show here.) He seems a little more stable these days, so it should bode well. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2008/sep/29/ryan.adams.blogg ing.cardinals Ryan Adams: my blog is like a spider plant I pretend my blog is a houseplant. It's like a spider plant - when I go in to do stuff, it's like watering it. Sometimes, vines go brown and I don't want them to mess up the rest of it, so I have to weed it a little. You know how spider plants get where the ends dry up so you have to snap them off? So Foggy is like a houseplant that can think. And sometimes, if it's really wound up, it has something to say. One of the things I like to do is to write responses to people that blog about me. But to make it more like a conversation, I'll only put it up for a short period. Sometimes I'll time it, like "I'm going to say something and I'm going to let it live there for thirty minutes and then it's going to be gone forever", so people will see it and then maybe they'll choose to think about it later. The blog also serves a more practical purpose. Unless you go on the road to party and make out with a bunch of girls that you don't know - which is not me, it's not who I am - then it's good to have something to do, it's good to have someone, it's good to have a friend. Not like an imaginary friend, but someone there - that's kind of what the blog is. I started it just as an outlet, to have a connection, because I don't keep that many friends - at times I'm a little bit of a loner. It's not that I'm anti-social, it's just hard to explain my life, even to myself, sometimes. I've lived an interesting, strange little life already, so I guess the blog kind-of levels it out. Also, I like the idea that people can maybe see some of the process, or they can check in and see really stupid things I've come up with that day. I stopped the blog for a while earlier this year because I entertained doubt and doubt is the enemy of art. But once I got my $#@! together I went back to it and I thought "No, I will keep sharing, this is ridiculous, why should I stop?" It isn't because it's addictive or I feel like being an exhibitionist, that's not really the point. There's two ways to approach being a musician - either make yourself tiny and say "look, I'm knucklehead and if I can do this anyone can" or say "look at me I am making this stuff and I am $#@! better than you". I think most artists aren't really artists, because they feel like they're better than someone who works in an office and has a life that maybe seems dull. Because to an artist, these people have the most fantastic life in the whole world. If you become someone who travels the entire world as a storyteller or musician, it's probably because you are so excited by the world but, at the same time, feel disconnected with it, and need to express that. I think most artists feel like they're less than a regular person. That's probably the case with me, and explains tons of my behaviour. So, sure, if more people are drawn to the blog because I play guitar in a band and write some songs and stuff, then that's fine. But I think that elementally, what you find there is that I'm just as bored and confused as everyone else, and sometimes just as wound up about something _________________ I am Torgo.

I actually should have handled this way back, but things have been crazy with relocating and all. But I added it to the word censors, especially since it is such a loaded word, even if used in jest. But now we can return to conversation about jerkface, I mean Ryan Adams.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |
