Words of Wisdom from Ryan Adams

A few days ago Ryan Adams "announced" via the Cardinals blog that he was quitting the music scene for a bit. The blog entry has since been removed, so I think it may have been a quickie rant at the state of things. But, who knows??

Anyhow, after reading the entry there was one part in particular that struck a chord with me. I wanted to share a bit of that and say - "hell ya, don't let'm bring ya down." Some good stuff...

"never become that if you choose this path- if you go this route with your art. never listen to those loud dissatisfied bystanders who only want to see you fail because that will be entertaining for that moment. hold fast to your dreams, hold faster to your heart and never step out of the light of that love that made you whole. i did. and i know better now. and better late than never i suppose." - Ryan Adams

If Ryan is actually quitting music, then so be it - whatever makes you happy, that's what you have to follow. If not, I'll be standing in line for the next album and tour :).

Couldn't agree with you more. I just hope it is purely a personal decision, and not one based on the extreme minority of idiots who like to preach about him. The vast majority of his fans are fans because they appreciate ALL things Ryan, including understanding if he needs to have a hiatus, or permanently call it quits.
