From now on, I will refer every person I come into contact with to this post. You see, in conversation, often times one discusses their musical tastes and listening habits, and I always say, “I’m really into Ryan Adams.” And the inevitable reply makes me cringe. “No, not—the older Canadian who coined ‘Summer of ‘69’ who is equally talented and awesome and worth listening to but I wouldn’t buy every record he’s ever put out—Bryan Adams.”

IS THIS REAL LIFE BECAUSE I AM ABOUT TO PUNCH THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN THE FACE.
find the mistake.

it’s like you say “I love Ryan Adams” and get the answer: “oh yeah i have a couple of Bryan Adams cds!”

You know what? I got that when I was in school from, like, children. I never imagined that grown adults would come to gigs to say it. Especially considering there are so many other obvious things that you can make fun of me about. I have fucked up hair, my teeth are rotting out of my face, I’ve been doing drugs for ten years, I can’t dress myself - and you have to pick my name? I’ve read a couple of Oscar Wilde books, so I pretend to know a little bit about wit. It doesn’t seem very witty to say that but whatever.
Ryan Adams, in response to people yelling for “Summer of 69” at gigs (Q, Dec 2003)
For whatever reason, the NYT is publishing this correction to a 2007 (!) article on the main Arts section page of the website today. Which makes me wonder if they have some kind of psy-ops scheme to make poor Ryan Adams have another breakdown by running this correction at random and unpredictable intervals? It is the yelling-out-Bryan-Adams-songs equivalent of corrections publishing, and I salute thee, diabolical NYT web editors.
Ryan Adams - Summer of ‘69
No no, you read that right. I have 3 different live versions of Ryan singing it, and this is the best one.
