1. Ryan Adams and the problem with "sincerity" | The A.V. Club


    Quote: (But) I’ve been wondering how these questions apply to Ryan Adams, who lately has been busy, once again, sharing way too much about himself on his blog. (Which, sadly, is down at the moment, though you can read some of the gory details here..) A lot of people can’t stand Ryan Adams, and I perfectly understand why. I’m a big fan, and I often can’t stand him, either.

    It’s a good point, Ryan Adams is one of my favourite musicians but he can be pretty irritating, especially in concert. I once spent (what was to me) a lot of money to go see him in concert just to see him fall about, out of his head on the stage and shout at people for 58 minutes. I was obviously disappointed.

    P.S. Was that last comma really, nessassary? :)
