I wanted to tell you a little story about what happened to me two days ago!
My DH and I were out for dinner in a restaurant here in Kiel on Sunday evening.
I had my phone lying on the table for a short while because I wanted to show another friend a photo and while it was lying there (with the backside up, so that my phone case was visible*) one of the young waiters (in that restaurant there are mostly students who job there to earn some money) went by, looked at my phone case and said “Oh, that’s a pic of Adam Lambert, isn’t it?”
I was totally puzzled because it was the first time that someone recognized Adam!
Usually people don’t know him here, even when I start the conversation and mention Adam, I always have to explain in all details who he is
, but this guy really knew Adam!!!
I said “Yes, that’s Adam Lambert!” and then he started to rave about Adam and what a great singer he is! The waiter said that he is a musician himself, he plays guitar and sometimes also sings in a local metal band, and that he has always been very interested in music and therefore also has a little bit of knowledge about music, and he thinks that Adam is one of the best singers today! “Finally someone who can really sing live and who has a fantastic voice, that’s rare today!” he said!
He told us that he likes Adam’s solo songs but also stated that in his eyes Adam also does a wonderful job as the new front-man for Queen! And he even mentioned the movie “2012” all by himself and knew that Adam sang the title song “Time for miracles”, so it showed to me that this guy seemed to be really interested in Adam! He couldn't stop talking about him!
I told him that I’m a huge fan of Adam already since January 2010 and that we went to several solo-concerts of him and also saw Queen and Adam live several times in the last years and that we even drove to foreign countries to see Adam’s shows, and I also mentioned that I’m a member of an international fan community and he was very impressed, haha!!!
Unfortunately I was so dumbfounded in that moment that I didn’t mention that I even met Adam last year, and so I also forgot to show him my photos together with Adam
but maybe I can do it next time when we are in that restaurant, lol …!!!
Of course this nice conversation really made my day and so I had to tell you about it!
*This is my phone case, btw …!!!
