Rolling Stone: Ryan Adams was hiding in plain sight in his songs

"Much like with Louis CK, R. Kelly and Woody Allen, it’s now easy to see how Ryan Adams used his art as a sort of staging ground for the power-wielding abuses and transgressions in his personal life. The singer’s finely-tuned performance of emotional neediness was part and parcel with the pattern of manipulation and alleged emotional abuse he had been engaging in for the better part of his adulthood" - Rolling Stone writes after accusations have been made public about
alleged emotional abuse, manipulation and the harassment of at least seven women by the singer-songwriter. “A more insidious strain of destructive, misogynistic masculinity, not burying their emotions but wielding them as weapons of domination and control. This masculinity is narcissism disguised as vulnerability and emotional honesty" - New Statesman wrote.
