the only thing i can see from the other two is watching and admiring, neil finn is a great nz artist,and to see him sit back with his guitar and admire this artist is a contribute to ryan adams..
Lightning... Rain ... Needles ... DIRTY RAIN ... let the needle move the record round... it is hard to be clean after all that dirty rain. Hang in there bro' it never ends. Great song
Groovestonenz: well said. If he isn't humble, then so be it. If he is, so be that. Are YOU all you should and could be? Or do you suck in some ways? If you do, do those ways that you suck CANCEL all of your good qualities? For cripe's sake.
@DylanVotaire the three colours are red, yellow, and green, check other videos where he's playing that guitar for a better look at the colours. it is the flag for the union of african states; ghana, guinea, and mali. the union was politically socialist and pan-africanist and lasted approx 4 years back in the late 50's / early 60's. and those three stars on the head are centered in the yellow band of that flag.
@cyrilskate The guitar is a Buck Owens American. Guess you didn't watch much "Hee Haw" growing up. I don' t believe the union of african states had a thing to do with it.
@svw72ga You're right, i didn't watch that, and i don't know much about guitars. Maybe it's coincidence or maybe he picked those 3 colours on purpose...only Ryan knows for sure! Thanks for the info!
I think I have listened to every possible version of this song and I am in love it. It captivates me to watch his videos. I can't imagine what it would be like to see him live.
did he mention wht the coloration on his guitbox was for? that red over white over black is symbolic of Egypt's f;ag, I know that much. I cant really connect it to anything else
hissy fits ? tantrums ? collaborating ? i have watched a few of the BBC shows and most performers sit and listen when the other artists played.....Neil Finn for some reason decided he would play his guitar to every tune that Ryan and Janis played.....Yeah Ryan may have reacted in the wrong way, he prob should have told him to shut the fck up !.....overall i thought all 3 artists performed brilliantly and easily the best of this years shows.
If you can download the clips on to your computer's HDD you can then burn them to a DVD. I don't know about you but I always get a Download This Video message in the top RH corner from Real Player. I assume that would work.
Ryan Adams acted like a petulant child at this Songwriters' Circle and in turn is so disrespectful to Neil and Janis. He's a loser, who should learn some humility.
the show is called song writers circle, but this douch thought it was called song song writers in turn. he didnt let the other performers in the circle, and when they did he got pissed like a little baby. hes morbid anyway
@gregandren He's not gobsmacked. Ryan had stopped just short of throwing a tanty (that's tantrum) for Neil and Janis joining in on his songs (which is what the Songwriters' Circle is all about). Ryan acted like the petulant child he is throughout this show. Check out some of the other vids and you can catch a glimpse of what was going on. Ryan's obvious skill as a musician and singer aside, he needs to learn some humility.
@Groovestonenz That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! He was obviously so relaxed and humbled to have Neil and Janis joining, so much so that at the beginning of the show he could joke about how he was going to steal their material!
@JJJAygo From the program website "Singer-songwriters get together in intimate venues to perform their own classics, chat about their work and collaborate musically". Note the collaborate musically part? That doesn't mean sit their sulking when others are playing. Much of what happened never made it into the aired show.
@JJJAygo Oh, and if that really is the stupidest thing you've ever heard then you really don't get out much. Try reading online. There are plenty of stories out there. Take for example all the one about this particular show, and you might learn something about your pal Ryan. It's pretty well documented that he had a major hissy fit, and it's not the first time he's acted like this in public.

The colors are red, white and blue. The guitar has stars on the head. I would say that it is an expression of Americana.
