2018: you brought me to my knees. It turns out that's where I needed to be: in prayer for everyone here or lost.
In these trying times, God bless everyone struggling or on the path to empathy, kindness and recovery.
Keep the Faith.
& may the Faith keep you. XO

GET USED TO IT.

Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!
Band Rehearsals for the 1989 TV spots today in NYC. So fun!!!
Rain, tunes & great vibes!
RIP Malcolm Young
Legend.
He was the founding member of AC/DC & the engine that roared behind the most powerful band in the world.
He wrote Back In Black, Highway to Hell, You Shook Me All Night Long, Highway to Hell, so many songs...
Travel safely to the stars, Malcolm.

Thank you for the kind messages. I am speaking with a grief/ crisis counsellor.
I apologize if I caused anyone any worry. Depression, anxiety/ panic attacks & grief are very real and serious issues.
If anyone is suffering I urge you seek help. And cats.

Happy Birthday,
You are everything great, romantic, beautiful & hopeful in a person & an artist. We're so lucky to have you.
I wrote this album.
I have 17 new songs.

I'm just asking to see if maybe I'm crazy & no one does.
This new album is kicking my heart down the street like an old tin can. Blue fog. Neon. Overcast perfection. Let it in.
Safe passages to the summerlands, brother. You couldn't have left more dreams here for us. Thank you.
RIP
This Sunday it'll be 1 year since I lost my brother, Chris. I miss him so much & know how much pain he was in. I was so lucky to have an older brother who loved The Cure as much as Ozzy. So sensitivie and fragile.
I love this pic of Chris, my little sis & I RIP Chris I love you

Happy Sweet 16th Birthday "Gold"
I left a little nerd secret on the cover.
The atomic # of Gold is on my shirt!
For 11 minutes the world exhaled like it had come up for air from the darkest dive....
Thank you mystery hero. It's the little things...
I have a lot to say. I am going to. Soon.
Because the truth matters.
I know who I am. What I am.
It's time people know.
Past time.
All the beauty in a life cannot be reduced to rubble for lies.
This madness.
My work was a map for the lost. Not a billboard.
So soon.
I have officially started Season 2... and it already fucking rules!!!! Thank you
( PS I feel like I've never stopped living in this time period lol )
I'm Ryan Adams. I write a shit ton of songs. I was going through a divorce.
So yeah. Probably that

Can you elaborate how you ended up with so many Prisoner B-sides and still have enough material for parts II & III?
This is the record one day they will say was my masterpiece.
It cannot help itself it is so raw and true. Like heartbreaker but lived all those years.
2 days in : exhausted & proud
The music we have been recording this week is the MOST like Heartbreaker and Gold than I've written since then.
I can't wait to share these new jams when it's time.
You are a monster.
Every day millions of people wake up & quietly hope you don't destroy the entire world
So, just saying, go fuck yourself

Great solidarity for our National Anthem and for our Country. Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable. Bad ratings!
Nothing is sacred to these monsters. No human or animal. Not the sky or water.
We are guests here. This is not our world; we belong to it- and we are meant to be guardians of helpless beings.
I cannot stand this. Like a lesson in true evil and how slowly it moves.
Make it stop

How lucky to have such an incredible, unbelievable musician and friend & a handsome one at that to play on #BigColors He brought the heat, folks, as usual. We love ya
...I lost my brother last year. I write songs for him now. It's the hardest thing I ever did. Best thing I can do right now.
He fucking loved and The Cure. Damn if I won't let him speak through me now. It was those high school Scorpions tapes that got me here
I'm writing the Heartbreaker section of my book tonight. The story for each song. Where I was. What inspired it.
And all I can say is what a profoundly dangerous, beautifying rollercoaster I was on. Just a kid. Scared.
In love with life.
I'm grateful to still be here.
Song 6. This record is flowing like Heartbreker did. I don't think I've written anyhing more raw and more true.
Sometimes it is just time to extract the pain and make it into something more beautiful.
Lots of love to everyone out there.
I dreamt songs last night. The last time I dreamt songs I remembered was when I was writing Cold Roses.
I'm gonna take that as a really good sign. Thank you, dream spirits.
The thing about not being perfect is NOBODY is perfect. We all have our shit. But you can choose to lift a person up, help a person who is down or you can punish. I am sarcastic and I bark back. But on #WorldMentalHealthDay I would like to say, Choose Love. It might save a life
Happy 15th Anniversary, Heartbreaker!!!
You're too long, overly earnest & a lil' wordy but damnit you're all mine.
RIP
Thank you for sharing your heart, mind and endless imagination. Safe travels across the staticky waves of time. You have enlightened this temporary dimension in a most forever way. You helped.

Good sir, you hang in there. Menieres is a tough ride at first. It's confusing & hard to explain to others, as they cannot see it. BUT you will rise above it and be better than ever.
Get well soon from a fellow musician with Menieres. X

Imagine how many books, chairs and programs you could fund with what it costs to build a wall, have a military parade or fly a potus to a golf course every weekend. Outrageous.

This is who we are. Who we can all be.
Happy 15 years GOLD
I am so proud of these songs. So happy I was tough enough to stay who I really was and made this

Missing you so much today, Chris. You were the most wonderful big brother and I'll never not be with you. I know you did your best. I'll miss you forever.
If you’re a fan & have loved the shows through the years, don’t miss this tour.
These are the biggest shows I’ve done, but then that’s all of them. For a while.
You’ll get US dates shortly.
AND this band lineup is gonna blow your freaking mind-let’s celebrate before I go rest
XO
BTW if you are getting ready to tell me to "stick to music" or are so immoral you think this orange clown asshole is ok- just unfollow now
I am speaking up.
Free these children and their parents. Remove these evil, lunatics from office before we have damaged others, ourselves and everything decent about this country.

Wednesday Album of the day:

An album written about New York City from the perspective of mirror glasses lost out in LA.
Like my own classic oldies station flipping song to song.

Hey ...Is it cool if I post this?
Hope you don't have any family or friends in need of a helping hand.
Save those quarters, bro
In these weird times I find it helpful to stop for a second, before a panic attack or getting overwhelmed and just being thankful for the little, perfect things
working us all, unaknowleged- like colorful socks, cats or clouds the size of dreams.
Or friends
Thank you for all the Birthday Wishes!
I'm grateful for each day, for all the love & for the music we share.
Time Traveling is hard!

Your music saved my life.
It was with me the day I left home.
It's with me now.
Travel safely to the summerlands.
So the Orange Turd is on tv telling the people of Utah that he's liberating them by "restoring their rights to their land" by letting his dick head friends drill for oil

Tunnel of Love is one of those records that'll save your life a few times. I would be lost without it.
Thanks, Boss.

‘Tunnel Of Love’ heralded a bold new era for Bruce, and also kicks off the new box set ‘The Album Collection Vol. 2, 1987-1996’! How much do you know about this classic album?

Maybe he was a light saver?
I'm sorry
So made a record and the best way I can describe it is she went to musical outer space Abe brought back a diamond from an asteroid.
It has a 1000% out of 10 stars and it's glued to my turntable and brain.
What a record. Holy moly. LISTEN
