So quickly the time passes!
Already, almost 48 hours and another television show interview and performance (which was spectacular!) and the 'outtake' videos with AFL & Chris Colfer . . . it's hard to stay in real time!
My recap of Morongo is like handing in an essay a day late, for sure!
I get it now. I think. Era3 is real. And, what has 'real Adam' always been to me? Off stage, the chameleon is natural; beautiful, pleasing and articulate and intelligent and so, so engaging. But, guys, that's not what I'm here for. I know people who are all the aforementioned.
I want the sensual, arousing, you-know-I'm-right-here-touching-you vocals . . . that I first saw in 'Ring of Fire'; that I sensed every time his eyes found the eyes of the camera. I saw the chameleon change color each time he exited and entered the stage with Queen. I saw the chameleon at the Music Box when he was crawling on the stage - - - and then he laughed.I think this time he won't need to change color; because he is singing about himself. Revealing himself. This time, he changed costume, but his
demeanor remained sincerely the same. Fierce and creative and so 'sex on fire' (as he said - the Kings of Leon song would be his 'walk-on) - so ADAM - so open to you and to me; and so 'allowing' you and me to find, freely, this incredible rush. What does it feel like to sing your heart to a thousand people with your eyes closed? There is my definition of bravery. And honesty.
So.
Adam has helped me learn to be better. Being real is always better. His example has helped me be honest and authentic and - - - yes, brave.
After the show, our little entourage came back to 'Coyote Inn' - and swam until the wee hours. Each lap; each emergence from the water felt fresh and clear and hopeful, as the rain intermixed with our hopes for Adam and his future - and ours. Adam doesn't define any of us; but he is delicious food for thought as we wonder how we'll dine in the days to come.
I think we're in for a feast.
