There are some real twits around. The album speaks lovingly about the USA, go listen to Ryan Adams New York, New York. The upside down flag is a symbol of national distress. As for Sylvia Plath, aennekin83 nailed it, Also he is using her as the basis of his 'perfect woman', a creative spirit who doesn't do normal/banal things that ordinary people do. A woman like Sylvia but not exactly Sylvia and someone he could take care of and who take care of him.

@iclandgirl Actually, I'm pretty sure he is a huge fan of Sylvia Plath and has been since a very young age. It's an interpretation and partially metaphor for falling in love with a destructive personality because genius and sane don't always go together. Someone who loves literature should understand the concept of not taking everything at face value.

@mdlane3 no, thats a bit stupid to say that



The upside down flag is disappointing? It's his fuckin' album, his artwork and his opinion. Go and write something other than a buttoned-down post and then comment. Idiot.

I admit, I am not a big Ryan Adams fan but this song caught my ear because I am obcessed with Sylvia Plath. I love how he portrays her differently than you will read about her in any book. Gorgeaus song.
