Funny reading the bio that Ryan has broken up with the internet and his computer and yet still managed to write a comment on the New Raleigh website about his book today. I guess he could have used his Blackberry or whatever - does that not count? Perhaps googling “Ryan Adams” to check if he’s being mentioned on the web doesn’t count either…lol…Come clean with us Ryan.

Is this the one? There’s no date on it..?

well,
i worked very very hard on my new book of prose. three years exactly, three years during the wonderful time, the eye-opening and heartwarming time I have experienced since I started helping myself try and be a litte more realistic about my goals, my life, and what does and DOES NOT work for me.
my relationship to the press and media by the way is not a TWO WAY STREET-
i do not get up and court the press. i suppose i work my ass off and i continue to KEEP THE FAITH in making art, sharing idea’s and yes, even attempting to become a better person in spite of what I know now is a rather sometimes bitter, always awkward public who nameless and faceless will trash me no matter what my efforts.
still,
what is so wrong for me to work hard to realize my dreams and make art- ZERO
and
as a human being on earth should i also be entitled to look for a real and long standing love that nurtures me with someone who feels i also support and nurture them-
YOU FUCKING BET
onward and into new days with bright lovely things to discover, and a mindful eye on those who also need to know,
‘despite so much negativity in the world,
we should all be fearless against doubt and nay-sayers if we want to share our lives, so that we might know each other better here on earth, in our brief time together.
it is a WONDERFUL place if you let it.

I never believe it when someone says they are leaving the internet behind, though maybe in their heart of hearts they really want to. It can’t be done.

You know, this guy really takes criticism way too much to heart. Being a public person/celebrity, he really shouldn’t. He should be thicker-skinned. He hints at ignoring the nay-sayers, but it is evident his detractors still bother him. Who cares what some idiots think about his work, his music or art? They don’t have to buy it. It is their loss. It’s like I like to say…DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN!

“as a human being on earth should i also be entitled to look for a real and long standing love that nurtures me with someone who feels i also support and nurture them-
YOU FUCKING BET”

Can I ask a stupid question? Who is stopping him? Who is he railing against? We are all entitled to look for a real and long standing love that nurtures us with someone who feels we suport and nurture them back. What is he talking about? This is like being angry at the sky for being blue. I don’t get it anymore.

As I said in my previous post: this interweb, disjointed tumblr dialogue interests me, even when I disagree.

This selection posted by thewayoftheworld seems similar to the voice that has come through in some of Werewolph’s posts. 

Think about Bob Dylan. Think about “The Pilgrim: Chapter 33” by Kris Kristofferson. We do not know if what is typed by Ryan Adams flows from him in seriousness or if (or when) there are tongues in cheeks. Just as everybody has the personal freedom to type what they wish about Ryan Adams or other subjects (although there are many limitations on freedom of speech in the U.S.A…. something that I might examine in a future post when I allot more to time), he has the freedom to type or not type what he wishes. Maybe he does feel under attack. Maybe these attacks often fuel his art. We all find muses in unique forms… not all of our muses sing to us. Maybe when Ryan Adams types such things they bring about catharsis and help him on his life’s journey. Regardless, I find Ryan’s past posts interesting, just as I find other’s reactions to be interesting.

Speaking of the internet:

I now boycott the internet for at least the next 19 hours.

How’s that!

Listen to Danzig, Jenny Lewis, or the sound of your own beating heart.
