Ryan Adams just wrote a shocking post on his website. Go there to read the entire stream of consciousness, but here’s how he signed off:
maybe we will play again sometime and maybe i will work my way back into some kind of music situation but this is the time for me to step back now, to reel it in and i wish everyone peace and happiness and if music is your dream, or if just dreaming is your dream, may you find your way through the rough patch with ease and i hope you let go and it takes you all the way there-
Sounds like a bit more than just a break. Hopefully Ryan knows that no one likes a quitter. I think he’ll go the recluse route for a while but will re-emerge in disguise when we least expect it. Like Borat.

Wow, that’s one hell of a blog post. Cheers to Ryan! He’s worked like a dog for a long time and made some great music in the process. Hopefully, it’ll find it’s way back in to his life….and when it does…for all the right reasons.
Thanks for the heads up.
“Of course everything i said got taken out of context.
as always,
i did not say i was quitting i said i was taking a step back…
so thanks…..thanks again”
Ha!
I’m still trying to figure out this blogging thing too, but if you don’t want to get taken out of context, don’t write so goddamn much! Instead just post, “Gone fishin’.”
I bet he takes a year off and then comes out with a new album titled “Could I take myself more seriously?”
