He lays it all out
here on his blog. He's done with The Cardinals, he's done with music (and blogging) after his tour is over in March. Well, at least for awhile he's done; I can't imagine he will stay out very long. He's releasing three books, one very soon -- hmmm, this should help the book sales, eh? He says:
" ... it is soul destroying. especially when you spend your life trying to write about the really difficult stuff and you stand there losing your way and people yell at you like you were in a circus. when it was your dream to matter and you realize one day, it never mattered- i mean, i am a punch-line and a footnote in what is worse to yell at someone besides 'free-bird'."
Throughout the whole post, he's begging for mercy and it sort of works. I kind of feel bad for him for the first time ever. He lost someone he loved, he lost his hearing, everyone makes fun of him ... actually, wait, this sounds like my life if you replace "hearing" with "dignity." Why do I feel bad for this rich mother f'er. Go see an ear doctor and stop crying. You almost tricked me again, Ryan Adams. God, I hate you.
UPDATE: Ryan Adams removed his original post and replaced it with whining. Jeez, he's so dumb. I can't find the whole original text anywhere on the internet either. I end up wanting everything Ryan Adams takes away from me. He's so clever
.UPDATE 2: So the first time I read his re-post, I didn't really comprehend anything he said because his whining was so annoying. On the 2nd read, I noticed he says he is not quitting music, only taking a step back. What the hell does that mean. You should have stayed with the quitting thing, people got much more excited.
UPDATE 3: He removed the entire post, even the whining. What a douche.
UPDATE 4: Stereogum was smart and copied/posted the whole thing
here.
Uh, so, I guess they're getting married? This is total news to me. I have a love-hate relationship with Ryan Adams, and for the past year it's been mostly hate, and now I definitely hate him moore than ever.
