I remember him saying that NY, NY had a 'Lou Reed kinda vibe going...' which offended me greatly.

That most recent Ryan Adams record sounds like John Mellencamp. Which can be a good thing--John Mellencamp may be America's greatest songwriter. Fuck Stephen Merritt.

I don't think Adams's songwriting style is like Mellencamp's, but their singing style is similar. I don't know if Mellencamp is America's greatest songwriter, but he is damn solid, and very undervalued. And he's way sexier than Stephen Merritt. Also, Adams and Mellencamp are both short.

It's the sax solo. Clearly.

Country poop is really the thing in big metro cities these days, ain't it? Dressing up like a South Carolina college student and making half ass attempts at the Flying Burrito Brothers... NOT what I expected the big music thing to be in the 2000s when I was a wee one.

Brian's OTM. Fake country is big in NY.

L.A., too. I escaped SoCal just in time before the B**CHW**D SP**KS ruled the town... It was a narrow escape, too.

Ryan Adams' sound owes precious fuck-all to anything happening in New York City.

"The sweetest winds they blow across the south." (RA)

Yeh, you're right.
