Default Rear brake problems

I've got a 1982 Suzuki GS300L. I just put on a new back tire, now I'm having 2 problems with the rear brake. First, the adjusting nut on the brake rod somehow will loosen during riding. Neither the rod or the nut appear to be stripped, so it surprises me. The main problem, however, is that the brake is sticking. I will press it when trying to slow, and then it will not always disengage. Any tips? The The brake lining wear limit indicator on the cam shaft shows that the the brake shoe is fine, it just won't disengage. Help!
