If you looked at the blog it’s not dra but one of his bandmates. And it drives me absolutely over the top when all people wish to do is crictize others. What have you guys done to make your mark on the world? Because at the end of the day I seriously doubt anyone will care what a tiny nothing has to say about someone who’s actually trying to get out there and do something. Why don’t you do anything besides sitting around and BITCH!(via dradams)acheron: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.
Do you guys think calling him out will make him 1, stay and 2, actually admit anything?
I don’t understand why you guys want him to come back and the second he does, you all attack him for being here.
Sigh. Damn internets.
Oh and book promoting is hardly blogging. But what do I know.
I absolutely second that. It’s hard enough to live your life under a microscope without having to worry that everything you say will be endlessly criticized. Ryan has a right, just like the rest of us to change his mind. If he decides he wants to blog, or write on message boards, etc, then that certainly is his perogative. Who are we to criticize that. I welcome his creative energy and will take him on the internet however we can get him.
There she is… Nyx chiming in. I’m pretty excited that Slyder made a post. Nyx, I hope that you feel better soon.
To chime in on the cardinology blog and whether Ryan Adams is using the internet…
1) I was excited to see Cardinology on Tumblr back in the saddle again. Slyder often posted artistic and often witty posts. I look forward to peeking into what it’s like to be in an American band: The Cardinals. Brad may show us some more knives. Spacewolf may share his minimalist statements. Neal Casal may display some of his photographs. Hell, we might even get some peeks into some of the other hard-working individuals associated with The Cardinals and their music and tour. I would love to see posts from tourbus driver (if the band members don’t drive themselves), roadies, tour manager, etc. We are very fortunate to have posts, of any variety, from the band.
2) I really do not care if Ryan Adams, Werewolph, Sad Dracula, etc. posts other items on the internet and does not post on tumblr blog. That is his choice. I’d love for him to post more posts, because I was often inspired and entertained by his personal posts. If he never blogs again, I still celebrate the moments and brief snapshots from his biography. He is a very interesting mind. Maybe he is just taking a break from blogging. Maybe he is just taking a break from the internet. He could write a review, handwrite and review, and somebody else could take care of the electronic submission of the material. It doesn’t really matter. What he does electronically, or not, is, ultimately, his choice. I also don’t spite acheron for their reflections. We all have freedom of speech. If what somebody says affects Ryan Adam’s blogging or not blogging, then that is part of life. If Ryan Adams blogs again, he may blog as an completely anonymous person, somebody entirely unattached to his name, fame, and art. Perhaps he blogs or reblogs in such a form now.
3) All of The Cardinals interest me.
4) I enjoy reading the dialogue of Cardinals fans and non-fans as well. Interaction is difficult and of a semi-disjointed form on tumblr, but I do find some enjoyment in following the threads of dialogue through reblogs and through going to people’s personal blog pages.
5) Acheron… that’s something from Dante’s Inferno. My memory is wretched.
6) The New Raliegh website may not include a comment written by Ryan Adams.
7) Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band and Jenny Lewis and Her Band kicked major ass in Nashville last night.
8) When I sang karaoke the last two times, I told them that my name was Slyder (because there are too many Jo or Joe characters who sing karaoke) and people seemed perplexed as to what in the Hell Slyder might mean… just ask thepilgrim-chapter32.
9) Danzig III: How The Gods Kill sounds great right now.
10) I will blog tomorrow about the concert last night.
11) I have a request. I can not find the name of the drummer for Jenny Lewis and Her Band. I think that her name may be Barbara. Can anybody help me out here? Anyway, the drummer for Jenny Lewis and Her Band really seems to live fully in the moment and treasure life… she was a delight to watch.
12) As always, concerns, comments, or questions may be reblogged or sent to my e-mail (preferably without a virus) at bonnaroojo@gmail.com
