Logan Adams Assumes Role as Writer for the Twin Cities Daily Planet"I spent my eighth grade year in my room—surrounded by posters of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Gary Payton, and Alonzo Mourning, as well as a painting I’d done in art class of a Nike-outfitted snowman. I listened to Evil Empire on repeat. When the batteries ran out in the middle of 'Tire Me,' I replaced them.
