Ryan Adams: What do you think?

[SweetZombieJesus]

I personally like the kid, though I think the critics, especially the British rock press, orgasm over him entirely too much. And calling Jack White a "fucking ponce" was tres lame.

1. Not overly fond of his current poppy stuff

a little too Syd Barret or something, but I loved him when he was a youngster in Whiskeytown. WHat is he now, 22?

2. 23, and that drives me fucking nuts

He's put out at least three great albums (Faithless Street and Pneumonia with Whiskeytown and Gold solo) before he turned 23. I'm 23 now and I can't even play guitar yet.

5. He's Good, But Not The Second Coming

The hype on him last year went into over-drive. Yes, Gold was one of the best things to come out of 2001. But that's not saying a whole lot.

3. He's got the best guitarplayer in the business in his band...

and I would say that even if Brad wasn't my bestfriend.

4. The Pinkhearts?

What's the story with the box-set and shit?

6. he's got that 'tortured artist' thing going on.

anyway, how would he know about the summer of 69, since he wasn't born till 1980? :)
