Sharkblog would like to issue the following retraction:

Dear Ryan Adams and The Streets,

We're sorry we doubted you. There was a time when we thought Rock and Roll sucked, and we wouldn't have listened to A Grand Don't Come For Free even if it was free. But we have seen the error of our ways. These are good records. Thanks for making them.

Furthermore, the bio of Ryan Adams at the "Rock and Roll" link sucks. There shall be no comparisons made to Courtney Love.

Sincerely,
Sharkblog

P.S. - Ocean's 12 owns you. Yes, we're talking to you, John Williams. (If you read the comments at this link, you'll note people criticizing the "plot holes" in this movie. We would agree, except the things they point out aren't plot holes. They just don't understand how the pieces fit. And Sharkblog will not bother explaining this to them.)
