“Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams is not amused by the similarity of his name to Canadian rocker Bryan Adams. At a Ryan Adams concert at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., on Tuesday, someone in the audience yelled out a request for Summer of ’69, a Bryan Adams hit. Ryan Adams, former leader of the band Whiskeytown, reacted with a stream of expletives and ordered the house lights turned on. The alternative country musician found the fan who made the joke request, paid him $30 as a refund for the show, ordered him to leave and said he wouldn’t play another note until that happened. The auditorium’s general manager, Pam Matthews, stopped the fan on his way out, “apologized profusely” and allowed him back into the concert. The fan kept Adams’s $30.”
We here at RobbieFulks.Com find that just too damn funny. So much in fact that Robbie made this offer:
“Any reader on this site who attends a Ryan Adams show and disrupts the show with a Bryan Adams song request will receive in return merchandise of his or her choice, equal to the cost of the ticket, from my online store. You’re on the honor system, necessarily; but please provide the date and location of the show, what you yelled, and what Ryan’s reaction was.”
This amuses me.
