Count me in as finding his gesture w/o class. As well as the us of the word "p" and "c". I don't find it endearing but very vulgar. To each their own. But just not classy LOL.. there're things Adam did or said on stage I'm not crazy about (either they're IMO w/o class or just not my cuppa), since some fans're drooling and think they're sexy, so I just keep it to myself. Like you said "each to their own" I try to keep it to myself (notice I haven't commented on any fan art...), but since the people who drool and think it's sexy are free to comment, then those of us who don't necessarily feel that way should be able to comment too! Someone mentioned earlier enjoying imagining Adam unrestrained or something along those lines, I don't remember the exact wording. I guess my fantasy is getting to hear him sing in person for hours on end. And I do enjoy listening to him talk in interviews...

In my opinion there is not much of a difference between 'normal' drawings and paintings or those made on a computer. The artist uses different tools, that is all. There is a huge difference though between an original drawing or just putting a filter on an existing picture. There are filters that make a photograph look like it is a drawing or painting and it takes just two mouseclicks to make these. There are people on twitter who are presenting those like 'art'. It's not. At all. And then you have the drawings that are made of existing pictures. It takes a lot of skill to do that, but it really depends on the person drawing whether they add something which make the drawing more than a copy of what was there before. I have thought a lot about this too. I am 'just' a photographer. Does this mean I can't make an original picture when I am just shooting an existing situation (like Adam in concert)? I really don't know. I don't consider myself good enough yet to claim I do more than register what another has created. But what happens if I edit my pics? Is there enough of 'me' in there then to make it something original? It is a really interesting discussion, which of course is related to the question 'what is art'? Not that I would claim to be anywhere near making art, but that discussions centers about originality too, and skill, and ideas or vision behind a work, and the effect on the viewer. Better philosophers than me have written a lot about that question, so I'll just conclude my musings with one of my recent 'works'. For this I made a screenshot from the Ghost Town video, transformed it and merged with one of my own pictures from the tour. Then edited some more to make it look like a multiple exposure of the same situation while in reality the images were made a long time and worlds apart. With this edit I wanted to say something about Adam being a shape shifter, not easy to pin to one image. About the creative process that goes from video to stage. Also about my own journey, from the first time I heard Ghost Town to the feeling of witnessing it on tour. Tying those different worlds of Adam's studio in LA to the cold stage in Copenhagen. It is my current home screen and I still smile every time I see it. That is wonderful nic42!

I think it is funny how we are becoming our mother. Remember how you never swore around your mother but were a different person with your friends. My daughter doesn't swear around me but is totally different around her friends. It is called respect for your elders. I personnaly am glad that Adams treats us as friends and not his elders.

On another topic I See GT hit 70 million views, I Could see that hitting 100 mill in 2 months or so. We're not mothering him. We're just stating our opinions, which reflect more on us than on him. If we were tweeting him directly, we'd be mothering him. Or at least being intrusive.

No clues from Shoshanna about anything happening, lol. She said she had dinner planned last nite with her partner in crime....Several folks, including me tweeted her with winky faces wondering if it was Adam. IDT she replied to anyone. Adam went to that Sam Sparro thing...so may not have been with him IDK. She's been RTing things about Britney...I don't know if she's in LA or Vegas or where. Shosh has quite a few clients...I suppose some based in LA. I feel sure she'll meet up with Adam since she's in town. Wish she'd throw us a bone.
