How did he respond to the NYT article? He went full on Trump
So awful. I used to like the guy’s music. He’s always had a very rocky track-record being online, even in the early days of message boards, so it’s unfortunately not totally surprising to learn he’s awful in person.
Tough choice here: support the singer who has committed a number of heinous-if-not-unforgivable crimes, or the woman-abuser.
I have this problem with Rod Carew and Rae Carruth. One was a beloved major league baseball all-star, and one was an NFL player who paid a guy to kill his pregnant girlfriend.
Fuck Ryan Adams (spoken as a newly-minted former fan.)
Ouch, that cuts like a knife…
I’ll see myself out now
Never heard of either of them.
I didn’t even notice Dick York and Dick Sargent were different people for years.
And I used to call the amalgam of shows with the comedian “Mad About Seinfeld”
Patti Smith and Patty Smyth?
lolwut?
Ryan Adams and Bryan Adams are not same guy
Historically, going to a Ryan Adams’ concert (back when that was a thing one was wont to do) and yelling out “Cuts Like a Knife!” or “Summer of '69!” would quickly teach you this very lesson.
[link to Ryan Adams diving into the crowd in mad frustration that I’m too lazy to DuckDuckGo.]
Is it bad that I haven’t the foggiest idea who the fuck Ryan Adams is?
I was going to make an “ever seen them in the same room” joke or something, but no. Bryan Adams seems like a thoroughly decent fellow whether one likes his music or not (and I began rather liking it once it stopped being heavily overplayed on the radio).
Ian Watkins and Ian Watkins
H has done nothing wrong, while Lostprophets Ian Watkins is one of the few people who I consider to be irredeemably evil.
Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman
Really? Bryan Adams’ “Summer of '69”, “(Everything I do) I do it for you”, or “Have you ever really loved a woman”?
These days he’s been doing a lot of portrait photography.
Alas, only one of them is still alive.
One would think he would retire and run a Tim Hortons by now.
