Ryan blocked me from his fb page for saying Warrant's 80s smash hit Cherry Pie was sexist. I think it's safe to say he's into a lot of bad music and probably doesn't regard country as anything other than a means to an end for him.
I'm not sure how anyone can say a tongue in cheek song is sexist. Looking at the lyrics, where is the sexism? It doesn't put down women in any way.
She's my cherry pie Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise Tastes so good makes a grown man cry Sweet Cherry Pie Swingin' on the front porch Swingin' on the lawn Swingin' where we want 'Cause there ain't nobody home Swingin' to the left And swingin' to the right If I think about baseball I'll swing all night yea Swingin' in the living room Swingin' in the kitchen Most folks don't 'cause They're too busy bitchin' Swingin' in there 'cause She wanted me to feed her So I mixed up the batter And she licked the beater I scream you scream We all scream for her Don't even try 'cause You can't ignore her She's my cherry pie Cool drink of water Such a sweet surprise Tastes so good Make a grown man cry Sweet cherry pie oh yea
Well now that it's typed out in front of me it does kind of read like a feminist manifesto of sorts. Part of me was just trolling Ryan because it takes a real douche to laud a band like Warrant.
Definitely juvenile but not sexist. Nothing demeaning is said about women. In fact, the singer puts himself down as having to think about baseball to last longer. Pretty sex positive overall. Dumb and juvenile though.

Yea I'd imagine when the warrant guy wrote that shit he was all fucked up on a shit ton of coke around a handful of naked chicks not giving 2 shits about artistic integrity
The point is I trolled Ryan and he took the bait. My only punishment is not being able to post comments on his Facebook updates. Which given his weak output since Easy Tiger and refusal to release Blackhole is pretty irrelevant.
He's got a new album coming out in November. It's probably going to suck like everything else he's done since about 2009. I read some tweets he deleted. Sounds like he was inspired by bad 80s music and his ACDC running playlist...
For the last year, fans wanting fresh material from Ryan Adams have had to settle for his Taylor Swift covers album. But fear not, sad-folk: Your singer-songwriter king will soon return with legitimately new material and it’s dropping on November 4th.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Adams whittled down his still-unnamed project from a batch of “literally 80” songs to a much-more-manageable 11. Fans can probably expect some of the slickness of TSwift productions to rub off on this project, as all the names he cited as influences on the upcoming album are known for big, polished tunes.
Adams said that ELO and Bachman-Turner Overdrive heavily influenced the guitar sound on the new record. “I was like, ‘Wow! I understand the multicolored guitar tone moments now,” he said. “You can layer stuff. I really just learned a lot.”
As for his more general inspirations, Adams cited AC/DC and ’80s Springsteen as the catalyst of this album. “When I run, I listen to [an iPod] Nano that I have. I put all the AC/DC records on from back to front, or I’ll listen to the best of stuff from the ’80s: Springsteen, or [Nick] Hornsby, and I’ll listen to what is going on there,” he said. “I was listening to AC/DC’s Fly on the Wall and that’s when I realized what I had to do for the record.”
The singer-songwriter went on to say that the record will ask some “cool, big questions” that may never get answered. “I think the challenge for me — the Everest peak, for me — is to tell this story in 11 songs, to tell this part of my life in 11 songs. How do I make a real distinct record where anybody listens to it and says, ‘That’s the truth from beginning to end.’ So it’s like exercise. It sucks in the beginning. But then you get into it.”
likes rhythmic things that butt up against each other

He had me at "ELO."
[Nick] Hornsby-Yes who could forget Nick Hornsby's albums from the 80's.
New song sucks. The more Ryan releases shitty80s sounding trash the more obvious it becomes that his strong early output was all just an act. This is the real Ryan Adams, and he's basically Kenny Loggins.
