Ryan Adams Calls Back to 2002 With "Starting to Hurt" Performance on "Letterman"

Ryan Adams was the musical guest on last night’s episode of “Late Show With David Letterman”, one of the final ones before Letterman retires next week. He performed “Starting to Hurt” from 2002′s Demolition, a track he also did on a 2002 “Letterman” episode, making this a call back as Letterman winds down his lengthy run as the show’s host. Check it out below.
