It's Ryan, not Bryan
Back on 21 August, Rainy Day featured an item titled "Ryan and Bryan", which referred to separate November concerts in Munich by Ryan Adams and Bryan Adams. The advice for the fans was: "Don't mix up those dates, venues, names, tickets, now."
Seems there's someone in Nashville, who didn't get the message because during a Ryan Adams concert at the Ryman Auditorium last week, a confused fan yelled out a request for "Summer of '69," a Bryan Adams hit. Ryan was not amused and reacted with stream of bad language. He then ordered the house lights turned on and said he wouldn't play another note until the miscreant was found and removed. Once he was located, Ryan stepped forward and handed him $30 as a refund for the show. The venue manager stopped the fan on his way out, "apologized profusely", according to The Tennessean newspaper, and allowed him back into the concert. The fan kept Ryan's $30.
Will this start a wave of copycat requests for Bryan Adams songs at Ryan Adams concerts? Or, come to think of it, requests for Ryan Adams songs at Bryan Adams concerts? And if so, will there be personal refunds by the stars? I'm really looking forward now to the gig in the Circus Krone on 7 November. It's an evening with Ryan, not Bryan, by the way.
