Adam, his fans and passion, part 2
9.24.12 by Q3, illustrations created by Animated
Part 1: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?board=daily&action=display&thread=1134&page=1
“Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion”
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
German Philosopher and Inventor, 1770-1831
The magic of this piece belongs entirely to Animated. I requested a few of her favorite Adam portraits to illustrate a story. But when I received these amazing illustrations and titles, a new story just wrote itself.
It is no surprise to anyone that I am an Adam Lambert fan After 3+ years I am done with trying to understand or trying to explain it. I have just surrendered.
Is there some synth backmasking in Adam’s music? Some Pied Pipper of Glam mystic vibrations?
[more about backmasking: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking]
SYNTHSERVIENT
What may be a bigger surprise is that I am an Adam Lambert fan fan. I love Adam’s fans. The wacky ones, the intellectuals, the artists, the collectors and the spiritualists. I truly adore the number crunchers and the fashionistas. And I have a soft spot for the “creative spellers” amongst us.
I am learning to trust my heart. I heard this from Adam – but I learned this from Adam fans.
Yes, there is something in the music. Perhaps as many have theorized for centuries music is the gateway to the Basic Truths of Reality. Or not. It is indeed up to the listener. For now, I will hold the less melodic theory that listening to people and the world around me is the way to truth.

NUANCES
Sometimes I think I say too little. Sometimes I say way too much. [Setting is usually on maximum verbosity which is my normal state.] Adam really did nail it when he wrote:
Don't think out loud
Cause once it's out your mouth, can't take it back
from "Broken English"
How many times have I wished that I would have listened to that sage advice? Countless. Think then speak, never think aloud. Repeat, repeat, remember, oooops!
SILENCE IMPARADISED
And yet I continue on, and watch others I know do the same. I have a desire to speak when my voice adds nothing. I have a desire to ask questions when I know the answer in my heart. I have a need to talk about what I said yesterday.
Why? Because I am passionate.
MIRROR OF UNYIELDING DESIRES
[/quote]
Passion is not without risks. It causes you to leave safety and to risk your freedom. Passion causes much of what is great but also what is dangerous, risky and destructive.
CORROSIVE PASSION
All in a dream….all in a dream.
I believe in heroes -- not heroes like Apollo or Superman. But heroes in the sense of people who do heroic things. Heroes as in people who do brave things.
***
My first love was King Arthur, Merlin and the dream of Camelot. Yes, I really am a geek girl.
There are two versions of the Arthur story – one we all know in its various forms – a golden king rises, is corrupted by jealousy and decadence, that results in the bittersweet collapse of Camelot, sweetened by the promise that the shining city on the hill will be restored one day.
The other envisioned by Neil Young started with a shining image but ended with the destruction of the world. Here is the shiny part....
Well, I dreamed I saw the nights
In armour coming
Saying something about a queen
They were passants singin
And drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
Theres a fanfare blowin to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
“After the Goldrush” by Neil Young
Today, I chose to write my own ending. I want a new story of Camelot – with a glistening start, a bit of struggle [enough to maintain interest], and a happily ever after but NOT Disneyesque ending.*
*I am referring to the foolish Disney mockery of the first part of T.H. White’s fabulous book, The Once and Future King, “Sword and the Stone.”
In my Arthur movie, Adam is cast – as the golden Galahad, the triumphant King Arthur, and in the very dark part of Mordred. He plays all three parts so perfectly.
***
Cotton Candy Dreams...
The dream passes. Back to reality.
The days pass. The world spins, and spins.
I’ve been standing here my whole life,
Everything i’ve seen twice, now it’s time i realize
It’s spinning back around now,
On this road i’m crawling
Save me cause i’m falling, now i can’t seem to breathe right,
Cause I keep runnin runnin runnin runnin – runnin runnin runnin runnin, runnin from my heart. [/i]
Runnin’ co-written by Adam Lambert, David Marshall, Fred Williams, Catt Gravitt and Robert Marvin.
With all due respect to Adam and his co-writers, for me it is I keep runnin runnin runnin runnin – runnin runnin runnin runnin, runnin cause of my heart.
PHENOMENAL IRIDESCENCE
Sometimes there are no words. Sometimes I really can say nothing.
BURNING SENSATIONS
Fame is the ultimate goal of many pop stars. I think it is not the ultimate goal for Adam but I am a romantic. Perhaps he really is just a fame hoar and I am deceiving myself. But I do not think that is the case.
In the end, I know all of us are united with one dream, one goal….to see Adam Lambert become the artist he was born to be and achieve the fame he so richly deserves.
I am adding a special epilog to this story later in the week – my ideas about how we can convert passion into the happy ending we all want.

Adam to be on ROVE LA – taping on Wednesday[/size][/color]
@revid99: LA people! Adam Lambert on Rove LA tapes this Wednesday. Get tickets here: on-camera-audiences.com/shows/ROVE_LA#
Australia’s best known and most popular television host, Rove McManus, is taping his show in Los Angeles!
ROVE LA is a weekly, 1-hour comedy/talk show starring legendary Australian TV host Rove McManus. Hollywood's biggest celebrities (like Justin Timberlake, Hugh Jackman, Steve Carell, Pink, Eva Longoria) stop by each week for an informal gathering of unscripted chat and drinks. Unlike most talk shows which feature one guest at at time, ROVE LA invites three celebrities to sit together and participate in the whole show. McManus also takes a camera crew into the streets of Los Angeles to explore the wonderful strangeness of Hollywood life and the people who unintentionally make us laugh. ROVE LA has a large international following, airing not only in McManus' native Australia, but also New Zealand, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Rove's U.S. following is also growing exponentially, with the recent pick-up of ROVE LA on the TV Guide Channel (Saturday nights at 10 pm) and his regular appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" as Jay's "roving" reporter. As a multiple Logie winner (Australia's version of the Emmy Awards), Rove McManus is poised to become an international star.
