"Well, I try to keep them centered on things mechanical. I try to have only mechanical games in the house for them. No video games. You can't have video games in the house, but you can have as many... I'll buy a pinball machine for you".

I give Ryan Adams partial credit for this. Dude is single handedly making pinball cool again amongst the music folks. He won't go onstage unless his WMS rug is in place. Johnny Depp is known to hang at Adam's socal crib, so the possibility for Depp doing a Rick Stetta movie is still in play. If you think the current 'resurgence' is big, just wait until Depp does The Rick Stetta Story.

Ryan, if you're reading this, make this happen. Depp and Stetta could be mistaken for brothers and Rick's story is definitely worthy of the big screen. See his youtube videos to remove any doubt.

That's really cool about Ryan Adams. I didn't know he was into pinball.

Jack has been into pinball for a long time. Jim Everett, who runs a jukebox and pinball repair shop, has been over Jacks house and worked on his pins going back almost 10 years ago. Jack told him TZ was his favorite game. He used to take it on the road with him.

Did not know that. Good stuff. I may be giving RA too much credit.

I became a JW fan after watching This Might Get Loud. Makes sense he would be a mechanical dude.

Yeah, that's a great documentary. If you go to Jack's Third Man record he has some various mechanical things there like the only recording booth that automatically spits out a vinyl record (or something like that) At his house, there are other various odds and ends according to Jim. He said he had a mechanical coffin that opened up.

If Ryan Adams wants to play some pinball at my house when he plays a show in Royal Oak or Detroit, he has an open invite.

Yeah, Ryan Adams is a huge pinball fan. He's got over 100 machines in a 3,500 sq. ft. warehouse in LA apparently and fixes and works on them too - even has a Krull! This article dives pretty deep into his love of pinball: http://www.buzzfeed.com/bobmehr/at-home-kinda-with-ryan-adams#17wzq38

Wouldn't surprise me if he's a member on here with an undercover name.

Good article and has quite a bit about his pinball passion. Cool pic of him playing Stargate
