I know I'm late to this discussion, but just have to add that, like others on this site, I have found a really great place to share my passion. I would go crazy if there wasn't a place like this. I would feel so alone. I would wonder if anyone else felt as deeply as I do about Adam and everything he represents to me. My family "gets it," even though they are not "into it." They like Adam just fine, but they don't follow him. Big difference! Huge difference! My family agrees that he is a good singer and it stops there. They have come to realize and accept that Adam is a part of my life though!

I didn't know she was a painter. My best friend's older sister was a huge Joni Mitchell fan. I always like the album covers that had behind the scene photos. I stared for hours at the cover of Carole King's "Tapestry" album! Joni once said that she paints her joy and sings her sorrow. I think she is a complex genius and a treasure. Originally from Canada, still has a place on the west coast I believe. There was a doc on her "Woman of Heart and Mind" and an extensive biography by Malka Marom which are interesting. I knew about her Canadian upbringing. I just skimmed her Wiki biography -- very interesting! Any idea where she lives on the West Coast?

I just saw this and it made me think of Adam. So often I hear people say that Adam was born with a great voice, or he has a natural talent for singing. While Adam was certainly born with a certain physiology that can produce that incredible resonance, and vocal cords that have the potential to produce that wide range, that does not recognize how hard, how passionately he has worked on his craft since he was 10 years old. They don't recognize that his ability to sing so seamlessly from low to high, from delicate to powerful, from tender to rough and raunchy, across genres, with such purity and ringing, is the result of endlessly committing to his voice and performance with constant practice and striving to grow. Were you trying to show a quotation there? I'm curious what it was. Hopefully this one shows up. Don't know what happened to the other image.

cassie Thanks. Had to look up Kevin Durant -- though I kind of figured from the quote that he was probably an athlete. Sounds like a good guy. And I agree about Adam having a gift, but putting a lot of work into developing, training, and maximizing that gift.

My sister once saw her in a cafe in Gibsons. Joni also lives in LA. She's had an interesting life, that's for sure.

Also I've noticed that the locals around here are often protective of the stars in their midst. We had Harry and Meghan living up the peninsula for a while and everyone was being super chill about it and refusing to cooperate with the paparazzi. That famed Canadian politeness!!
