Singer, songwriter, Ryan Adams is calling it quits. In a long, rambling blog post Mr. Adams has told his fan he is quitting the music industry. He cited many reasons as to why he is stopping, but he is sick of being taken granted.

"i lost more than anyone will ever know (hearing, someone i loved, my sense of dignity, a never ending losing battle with stage fright and now my hearing and balance due to an inner ear issue."

The original blog post has since been removed. So I don't know if it was a joke or what. Here is the link to the original blog post, but be warned all it says is "URL Not Found"

Here are some things he said in the post:

His legacy: "i am a punch-line and a footnote in what is worse to yell at someone besides 'free-bird'. i mean, i lost."

He has new books coming out: He says he "LOVES writing....yay!"

He sympathizes with Kayne West: "it is kind of ridiculous to blog as i am a musician and anything i say here just gets reprinted at some point out of context. i say NOT FAIR but it doesn't matter what i say anymore or what is fair anymore really does it- the 21st century media has it's own rules about what is true and what is not."

Here is Ryan Adams performing one of his hits:



Oops, I guess we are part of the problem. I said RYAN ADAMS is quitting music. Sorry I wrote this entire entry under the assumption it was BRYAN ADAMS quitting music. I am not as sad anymore because it is the SUMMER OF '69!!
