A Message To Courtney Love

Fighting fire with fire!

Ryan Adams is finally fighting back. The just posted the following on his website, addressing Courtney Love's allegations that he stole from her, amongst other things.

He says:

"to whom it may concern,

these days i find myself working harder than ever at being at my best, overcoming my fears and pushing myself creatively in my every endeavor. my only wish after the work is completed is that it may prove further evidence that no matter how isolated we all may all feel at times, as sad or misrepresented, we are not alone. there's hope for and within each of us.

I've been dealing with the truth that i have at times been a bad example and/or glorified self destructive behavior. this was never intentional, but rather a consequence of leading a public life in plain sight and never expecting any sort of preferential treatment, isolation or protection.

Regardless of varied judgments as to my cultural relevance, i am thankfully alive and exercising my joy in creating. i only hope anyone who hears, reads or sees any of my contributions will permit the work to speak where i cannot.

i've realized and accepted that if people decide to dislike me, they're going to find reasons to justify disliking me. there's nothing i can do about that. that said, it still does pain me to be accused of fictional crimes against innocents or to be implicated in romantic gossip involving the possibly reality-challenged–however unreliable the source or outlandish the accusations. in the end, however, i know that i have never done or even meant anyone any harm.

anyway, the lives of public figures are so much more boring than anyone can imagine. honestly.

and also i like metal. A LOT. (even more than last time)."

      ryan adams is the guy who wrote that song "when the stars go blue" that was covered by some terrible country musician and spackled all over top 40 radio in the not so distant past. he's an amazing musician, and a pretty solid guy these days.

      seriously not much reading into said statement is needed, it's there, do with it what you like. also this site, i admit is like a terrible car accident with lost limbs and sad fires, i want to look elsewhere but i am drawn in. there's like an endless river of pages that go further back and back till like when batman begins first appeared and masterblasted holes into everyones skulls, and now we have the last film, which is fuck all brilliance, i digress, apologies.

      This is laughable.

      To anyone who has followed the progression of both Courtney Love and Ryan Adams over the years - both musically and as people - it's SO apparent that Ryan Adams has made the sincerest of efforts to become a better songwriter, a better performer and a better human being in general; an aspiration that seems more realized with every passing year, and every record released.

      Courtney Love on the other hand… the opposite seems to be true. She needs to stop discussing PERSONAL grievances in such a public way… especially things that may or may not have happened FIVE YEARS AGO.

      Team Ryan!

      BOO HIM! TEAM COURTNEY LOVE! Honestly I can't even read his borring blog, it sure az fuck ain't no page turner! 2 words into it and I yawned! But I did read Courtney's when it 1st came out

      Ryan Adams SHOULD have more relevance than Courtney Love, because he actually has talent. Just because he isn't some commercial package (thank God) and he didn't marry a rock star and build his career off of it, doesn't mean he isn't fantastic. If you're too short sighted to see it, I'll assume that MTV is how you learn about "music"…good luck with that.

      F' that B!tch! She was behind the MURDER of Kurt Cobain. Reseach it yourself. There is no way someone with as large an overdose of heroin in their system could have shot themselves. You would either die instantly, or be paralyzed.

      Ryan is a true artist, a beautiful soul. I also love Courtney for her courage, though so many mistakes in her personal life. I love both of them and I do not choose a "team" (why the fuck do people do that anyway?). They are both talented, though Courtney needs to work on her health a bit more for the sake of Frances. RIP Kurt. But we must move on.

      Man, I love him. So talented, and it's so nice to see a celebrity who can actually string an articulate sentence together with proper grammar and spelling to boot.
