Two disgraced alt-rockers are trying to manipulate social media for comebacks.

One is Disney adjacent by marriage, though now divorced and seems to want everyone to fawn over his claims of not drinking the past six months and forget how abusive he’s been.

He was the subject of an FBI investigation, but never charged. The other is afraid to re-enter the US due to s.e.x.u.a.l. assault allegations.

He penned what he calls an apology, yet never mentions what he did wrong, only that he was unfair to women he was seeing outside his open marriage.

Probably because he knows what he did and that there’s at least a half dozen other women with similar claims.

In a further test of whether he will be able to pick up his career somewhere in the vicinity of where it left off amid misconduct allegations three years ago, Ryan Adams has announced a tour of eight cities in the Midwest and South, following up on a run of five cities in the Northeast he completed in May.

The mini-tour of mid-sized halls begins Oct. 14 with a stop at Atlanta’s 2,600-seat Tabernacle and wraps up in the almost identically sized Stephens Auditorium in Ames, Iowa Oct. 22. Dates in-between include Chicago’s Chicago Theatre, Minneapolis’ State Theatre, Milwaukee’s Riverside Theater. St. Louis’ Factory, Louisville’s Palace and Asheville’s Thomas Wolfe.
