Around the Web: Ryan Adams Hates Country

Posted: April 17th, 2008 at 4:32 pm  |  By: Link Ray  

Ryan Adams, the songwriter behind Tim McGraw's "When the Stars Go Blue," blogs about how much he hates country music, hates the Ryman Auditorium and hopes he dies alone.

With his special BioWillie biodiesel fuel, Willie Nelson made it into Billboard's top 10 "green" artists doing their part to help the environment.

When she hits the road this summer, Sheryl Crow will give her tour bus a little makeover to accommodate a little man: her baby Wyatt.

Arizona's Country Thunder festival kicks off today (4/17), so if you plan on camping among the country stars, there are all kinds of options from the cheap and rowdy to the pricey and quiet. 

Where was Dierks Bentley during the CMT Music Awards? He skipped out and caught a Predators game. After all, he had a blog to write.

    Will pray for Ryan Adams, but he might need to get on some meds.

    Where does Ryan Adams say these things? I don’t see it in any of those links?

    Cold Roses was brilliant but he’s a strange cat.

    I also did not see any of the stories posted about Ryan Adams in the link, but, if they’re true, then his mind is very corrupted. I’ll also be praying for him. :)

    I found it. I hae always been an Adams fan and I’m 50. The guy has obviously finally flipped. I knew he would one day soon, but did’nt know it would be this soon.

    what do you mean “songwriter behind Tim Mcgraw’s When The Stars Go Blue?

    It is Ryan Adams Song, he wrote, recorded and released in 2001, many others have covered it.

    Who is Tim Mcgraw?

    Ryan Adams has a problem with self-indulgence. Weirdness is cool as long you let folks in on the joke. When you can’t relate to your own audience, it’s time to either rethink or pack it in.

    ok, if that’s what he thinks, then i’m fine with that. i fully respect what he thinks because he is an amazing artist.

    one thing that DOES make me mad: what the heck do you mean “the song writer behind Tim Mcgraw’s when the stars go blue”????? its RYAN’S song!!!!!!!!!!!!! whenever i hear tim sing it i wanna throw up. he ruins the song.
    dont listen to what any of these people say. YOU ROCK RYAN!!!

    P.S
    I absolutely love your blog, Foggy!!!! oh, and the crossed out name song should DEFINITELY be on your new album. it is an awesome song. loved the puppets in the video! haha..

    toodles
