I think I have a broken rib. When I exhale into the harmonica my whole body wants to throw up a fireball of pain.
Oh man— Ryan Adams (@TheRyanAdams) May 26, 2015
Let's find out if it's broken. Either way I'm playing the shows. Getting in my bunk is brutal tho. https://t.co/WUz8E2v2Ih

Earlier this month, Bryan Adams commented on Ryan Adams’ cover of his hit single ‘Summer of ’69’.
Ryan Adams covered the similarly named singer at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on April 28. The rendition was in reference to an incident at the same venue 13 years prior when an audience member yelled a request for the song for Adams’ entire solo set. Adams later told Spin that such hecklers were “a bunch of fucking cocks”, adding, “They come to my shows just to provoke me. I had to go into therapy because of whole Bryan Adams ‘Summer Of ’69’ thing.”
Later, Bryan Adams spoke to SF Gate about the incident, promising to cover a Ryan Adams track in return. “Ryan [Adams] wrote to me to tell me the day before that he was going to do it,” he said. “I think it was some sort of cathartic release for him to return to that venue and play that song, as you probably know the story there. So I think in some ways, he has been haunted by the song somewhat, which is a shame because it’s a really great song. Anyway, I’m happy he did it. He’s a great artist. And sure I’d sing one of his songs. I’m not sure which one, though.”
