In a recent interview Ryan Adams ill-spiritedly bashes both R.E.M. and the Killers!
And it's pretty hilarious. The reporter from the U.K.'s Guardian simply recited famous lyrics that happen to be questions, and Adams runs with them.
Question: What's the frequency, Kenneth?
Ryan: I mean, seriously, who is Kenneth? The answer should be, "Hey Michael
[Stipe], what would happen if you sat down and actually thought this
shit out for 10 minutes?" I mean, no offense but there's a slight
difference between Monster and Fables Of The Reconstruction and we all
know what that is; it's a level of giving a fuck. $80m will do that to
anyone who has a credit card and access to a Barney's. I have seen the
band since and I say all this as a fan, by the way.
Question: When will I be famous? [This is from the 1988 hit by BROS]
Ryan: If you're lucky, never! Fame is an unnatural construct and those who go in search of it are the least likely to find it. I mean, really, does anyone want to sit through a show by the Killers? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unfortunately with the exception of the Killers.

i heard he apoligized about saying that about REM and THE KILLERS. which is good, because both of those bands are amazing, especially the killers.

Apparently Michael Stipe was so disturbed/fascinated/disgusted by the guy who attacked Dan Rather on the street while demanding to know "Kenneth, What is the frequency?" that he wrote a song about it... Ryan Adams should ask the man who attacked him, William Tager. Oh wait, that guy's in prison for 25 years for killing someone at NBC.
