Yes it is. Thank you.

Here's my favorite Whiskeytown song.

Thanks mudpuppie. Musically, Ryan Adams seems to have found his way again after a few strange years. His voice is so emotive (is that the right word?), it sometimes brings me to tears.

Thanks ej and 'pup! I've no idea who they are, but their songs are great.

Yeah, essexjan, I like his stuff (even the less-respected), although by all accounts he sounds like a huge asshole.

Fris, Whiskeytown is the "alt-country" band Ryan Adams was in before he went solo.

Yeah, I just Googled it and realized that all this time I thought people were saying Bryan Adams and how wonderful it was for him that his career had been resurrected.

Pardon me while I crawl back under whatever rock I've been under.

It's always fun to watch Ryan Adams go apeshit when people yell out for "Summer of '69" at his gigs.

Yeah, if ever there were a reason to change your professional name ...

No shit, that's Ryan Adams? Oh wow, just like the Sugarcubes, he was so much better before he went solo.

And you know, he got a lot of name recognition because of that rhyme, and for him to complain about the similarity is fucking bullshit. A similarity like that twitches folks' ears, and they buy records or go to shows because they "recognize" his name. It really is true. If he was any kind of a man he'd work out a kickass cover of "'69" and rise to the challenge. Instead he gets pissy and walks off stage.

You know, I saw Jewel leave the stage after being hit by a frisbee; Ryan Adams is a pussy cast from the same mold. Shame on him.

I like Whiskeytown, though.
