Ryan Adams Interns at BlackBook

Here's something you don't see every day: musical artist Ryan Adams interning at the BlackBook office. Part of a feature for our forthcoming December/January issue, Adams helped with sorting mail, filing TPS reports, and composing extemporaneous ballads about retouching cover photos. Oh by the way, his new album with The Cardinals drops today. Adams may well be the most famous BlackBook intern since Camille Hayton; one can only hope he has better luck finding love on the subway.

This is a man who has struggled all of his life with identity and placement in this world. We can never understand Ryan Adams, we can only aspire to the elevated consciousness necessary to appreciate him.

This is pretty cute. I take it this was a one-day thing? Not a months-long office-bitch stint?

And Galaxy Craze was an intern at BB a while back. Until the publisher at the time reneged on a promise to give her a gym membership.

he is following in the footsteps of sylvia plath, who interned at 17 magazine ... ryan adams has always had a literary streak.
