RE: Ryan Adams: He's No Axl Rose
What happened is pretty much what was to be expected, if you know the history of this artist. I'm sure nobody goes to a Hinder show expecting to hear the next Radiohead.
Ryan Adams' stage antics are a known quantity. Take it or leave it. I understand it can be uncomfortable to endure at times. Again, most should have known this going in (though may not--was this his first Indy gig?). I've seen him twice before. Once was a tight rock 'n' roll explosion in Chicago about 5 years ago. The other was at Lolapalooza last year when he talked almost as much as he performed.
Not sure if I take him seriously that he was at Circle Center. He is a storyteller by trade after all.
The intermission was planned. There was no opener, so it was up to one act to provide an extended evening's worth of entertainment. I've seen this before from other musicians. Similar to any other theater production.
