The voice-mail response critic Jim DeRogatis got from Ryan Adams after Jims not-so-positive review of one of Adams shows. Using discography as video, but the audio is the point...

Some quotes from the review:
"Note to Ryan Adams: Wish you were anywhere but here"

"Adams can release three CDs in a three-week span, but the fact remains that he still can't write one song as original or as heartfelt as anything by Jeff Tweedy."

"Absent an historical musical context or a functioning b.s. detector, it is possible to mistake Adams for being as talented and clever as he thinks he is. But then there are plenty of people who can't tell the difference between plastic flowers and real ones, until they bend over to take a whiff."

"The fans (who skewed younger than Adams) ate it all up, but you had to suspect that it was because they'd never seen the real Courtney, much less the Replacements or even Wilco."

"Like Jeff Tweed, who could burn holes through his shoes just by staring @ them." Shoe gazers make me want to punch things, mainy shoe gazers, cos they are things, not humans.

I began this with no bias either way. I listened to the rant and then read the review. I side completely with Adams. Derogatis' review was not a legitimate review; it was a childish diatribe/tantrum that lacked class or any semblance of professionalism. If I was his editor, his butt would have been fired asap for such pathetic work.
