Larry, I think it's just a whole different world if you can count Keef and Marianne as some of your buds. And lord help you once you start dating the actresses. I'm just hoping Ryan has 9 lives (at least) like Mr. Richards.

I have the strange feeling he's on the slow drop to being a "nobody" again, wherein he'll kill himself somehow, probably overdose, and then he'll be another rock 'n roll martyr, "giving his life so that we can party" or some such utter bullshit. The boy wants to be Gram Parsons, SO BAD, and he's already outlived old G by over two years.

Good lord, I hadn't heard about that! Oh, Ryan. You're such a silly little man. Damn talented, most times, but so very silly.

what he's running away from ? well, obviously, he doesn't want me to see him in concert..
why i'm telling you this ? well, coz i stumbled across your blog googling for the lyrics to 'hickory wind' last summer, read the lyrics to 'oh my sweet carolina', bought the record a short while later just because of that, and instantly fell in love..
i sure hope mr. adams and his wrist will be better soon and play the rest of the tour, or maybe he'll even change to playing an acoustic love is hell-set instead of drunken rock'n'roll madness.. i like the idea ;)
cheers from the other side of the pond, suzy..

Hey Suzy! Glad to hear from you! It does my little heart good to know that I got you into Ryan Adams. That Heartbreaker album is amazing! You need to speak up more often!

yeah, well.. i played love is hell to a friend of mine and he said it touched him like nothing else has for quite a while.. so ryan is moving along :)
..and if i can get you into anything:: the new grant-lee phillips album is due out on feb 24 in the us and will feature a cover version of hickory wind - check www.grantleephillips.com !!
