Good enough for me

I heard a bunch of new (to me) music this weekend, thanks to a friend. Included was a Ryan Adams show from December in Chicago, a show that was slammed by Jim Derogatis of the Sun-Times but turned out to be pretty enjoyable from where I was listening just now.

Highlighting the main set was Wish You Were Here from the fall's Rock N Roll album. First, Adams played the album version. Then he played the speed metal version. Then he played the country swing version.

Then he played the Cookie Monster version.

Cotton candy and a rotten mouth
You're so fucked up
I couldn't help but have it for cookie
Everybody knows the way walk
Knows the way I talk
Knows the way I feel about cookie
It's all a bunch of cookie
And there's nothing to eat around here
(Inaudible line)
I'm totally so hungry
I wish you were cookie

Thoughts?
