I think this is really sad, it is obvious he is struggeling through some health and emotional issues. Perhaps his strange stage presence was a reflection of his stage fright.
The risk that you take when you muster up the courage to show people what talent you think you poses is always risky. It takes a tramendous amount of courage… I feel bad for him.
Yes, it is a hard life writing, performing and recording music. I’m sure Mr. Ryan Adams will finally find a life of relaxation and solace by engaging in a less rigorous career such as working a 12 hour a day retail job at minimum wage, busting up concrete for a new highway or maybe delivering pizza.
I really like his music, Cold Roses is one of my top 10 albums at the moment. But I too was put off by his show at Telluride. In fact, last week was the first time I’ve listened to him since then.
Do I feel bad for Ryan’s hearing issues? Sure. My question is:
Why did he and his Soundman want to plague the rest of us with the same hearing issues last year in T’ride? Even after leaving the festival field and gong back into Town Park Camping we couldn’t hold a conversation at the bathhouse!
I’ll still skip it. Last year Chris Thile earned the “banned from ear drums for life award”
I even own a couple CDs by him, and all of Nickel Creek CDs. Haven’t listen to them since I first heard the Punch Brothers in Feb 2008. It just brings up such unpleasant memories.
Hopefully they’ll be playing when there is something going on at Elk Park, or I can make a beer run.
But the rest of lineup looks like what I except from Telluride, and the reason I loose sleep for 4 days in a row. Can’t wait.
