Just catching up on threads... Not to reignite the whole discussion from yesterday specific to top 40 M&G - however I'll just say that perception doesn't happen in a vacuum - something someone does or says creates it. Top 40 radio stations count on the perception that they appeal to a younger demographic - it's how they make their money. If they don't think Adam helps that perception they will avoid him and his music. We all spend a lot of time talking about things we can do to help him be successful. It seems that it's also worth some thinking about things they should stop doing.
Call it ageism, call it unfair, call it whatever. I prefer to call it the brutal facts of reality.
This is a general note and not about any one person and as always #YMMV #scrollisyourfriend
(Q3 happy to have this edited / deleted if out of place.)

Finally! I heard "Ghost Town" in my local Coles supermarket where I went to buy, something to make dinner. The song sounds fantastic, I'm over the moon.
Aww! what a pleasant surprise it was. It will be soon, that Adam will be played on all radio stations, all day, every day!

We call this time zone-ism .... when one is now wide awake after all others have gone to bed after healthfully venting, but there a person is, all riled and wanting to say something so as not to explode. For my mileage, we like our members completely unexploded.

So an 84 year old relative living in Seoul emails me overnight that Adam is going to be in Seoul on Sept 5 and the concert is already sold out. That got me going for just a minute. Then I checked and LOL - it's a Maroon 5 concert. Another case of the two Adams getting mixed up yet again. Interesting that in the unedited SF Alice radio interview yesterday, Sarah mentioned Levine by name as one of the worst people they've interviewed. But I guess his reputation as an asshole was established long ago.

Well, I am off to work. Hell hasn't frozen over, so I do not expect to hear GT on my local KISS station during my commute but will listen anyway. If I ever do hear it, those flying pigs will be BBQ.

I just finished catching up on the statements made from yesterday.. I am left with one thought... When you love someone , step back and let them fly.. IMHO,There is a bit of a possessive tone by some.. I have been a fan of Adam's forever and so i'm entitled kind of thing... well not really.. Yes some have nurtured his career and that's great ,but there is a time to LET GO and watch with great pride as Adam takes off and is discovered by many others... I have stepped back with great joy in Adam's success. I do all I can ,behind the scenes, for the most part, to help.. Ultimately It's not about me it's about Adam and how i can help him become the superstar he deserves to be.. He doesn't need me to hold his hand ,he needs me to let him go. His family and friends have learned this so you don't see them very often ,it's Adam's time to shine.. I think they set a good example . IMHO fans might also learn when not to go and when to show. Bottom line #we are all fans who want the best for ADAM

Bottom line #we are all fans who want the best for ADAM You are always so sweet and kind, i just love reading your thoughts, always your huge open heart shines through. And in regards to what you have written, it is a learning thing, when to go and when not, doesn't change the love for Adam.
