ryan adams "demolition"

Yeah, I agree with you, Bufus. I love Ryan's music but he is a complete asshole poseur. There was recently a "Music in High Places" segment on him on cable/satellite TV and you could tell from that what an arrogant bad-tempered jerk he is. I don't know why he feels he has to adopt this "rock and roll" persona to perform his otherwise great songs. It's like he's read too many old Rolling Stones profiles of the original bad boys of rock and has decided to emulate. Oh well, his music is exceptional. I really like the Demolition disc and all the other recent ones he's been coming out with. He writes songs like others write grocery (or CD) lists.

Waltersalas, thank you for that tidbit! Robbie Fulks, whom I've also seen in person, is such a class act, as well as a brilliant songwriter and performer. His offer raises him even higher in my esteem! Maybe Ryan just needs an antidepressant, he is TOO irritable.
