To Be Without You

I really enjoy music, and all kinds. Every genre pretty much. I like emo, pop punk, country, rap, classic rock, oldies, pop, you name it. However, there are certain artists that just rub me the wrong way. One of those is the Neil Young-wannabe Ryan Adams. Not only is his name one 'B' short of a legend, his voice is one hair short of a dog turd. His generic guitar backgrounds, awful vocals and clearly high-school level production are pure crap in my ears. He covered the smash album "1989" by Taylor Swift awhile back, and just ruined it. The single "To Be Without You" isn't any different.

Anyways, I have 18 photos to share from sports in the span of Dec. 22-28.
