Ryan Adams on 'Demolition,' writing and shopping at Gap

*excerpt from interview*

TMR: How did you feel when The Corrs and Bono covered your "Gold" track, "When The Stars Go Blue?"

Adams: They covered it on their own. I didn't even know. No one even told me it was going to happen. Apparently, as I understand it, Bono walked in and said "this is a song we're going to duet." He wanted to do it.

The other day I went and bought my first TV. I was in Circuit City in Union Square, and I go to purchase the television and that video comes on of them playing that song. I look at the Circuit City clerk and I say, "They're playing my song," and he goes, "Yeah man, whatever. Just give me your credit card." He thought that I meant they're playing my song, like, when you have a song at the prom. He thought that "When The Stars Go Blue" was it. The guy for two seconds didn't know who I was and I thought to myself, "This is an excellent, excellent job. I have managed to have no one know who I am after seven years."
