Ryan Adams vs. Jim DeRogatis

Ryan Adams used to be kind of a jerk before he kicked booze and got married to the lovely Mandy Moore. Jim DeRogatis (aka The Bane of Corgan) doesn't really like Ryan Adams, and every time the Heartbreaker kid came to town, DeRo took the chance to give him an unfavorable concert review that ended with the line "Note to Ryan Adams: Wish you were anywhere but here." Finally, Adams couldn't take it any longer. He called up the journalist and left a biting voicemail about the "stupid, bulls--- review" that ended with this soundbite: "I’m going keep coming back and you can’t f---ing stop it. Old man, it’s time for you to probably get out of the f---ing business."
