...Heartbreaker” juxtaposed tears-and-beers country with pop rock, oscillating between the shambling joviality of “To Be Young” and the apocalyptic depression of “Come Pick Me Up.” His slipshod albums display brilliance in one song and careless laziness in the next. Then there were the substance abuse problems. Adams says he’s been clean and sober since before entering the studio to make June’s “Easy Tiger” and the just-released “Follow the Lights?...

The downed power lines, careless barbecues and abandoned campfires that frequently spark fires don't happen in the absence of people. And then there is the wicked wild card of arson. Perhaps only one person in a community of thousands has a hand in triggering a blaze, but the very presence of those thousands is what...
