So can we say that this Mr. Milonov is the Russian's Westboro Baptist Church and that he's to be ignored. |

Adam will be fine. If any Russian government touches Adam (national or city), the US State Dept will be all over them. And it will raise real issues about the upcoming Olympics and gay athletes (and sponsors from Europe and US being involved) americablog.com/2013/02/russia-olympics-2014-sochi-gay.html If anything happens it will be in St. Petersburg which passed an anti-homosexual law that bans music that promotes homosexuality. www.spiegel.de/international/world/two-arrested-in-st-petersburg-for-violating-city-s-new-anti-gay-law-a-826199.html These laws seem ridiculous in a globalized information world but they exist. He has managed to do concerts in Russia and other anti-gay countries without issue, and I am sure he will do it again. My sincere hope is that Adam does not get entangled in Russian politics -- but if he does get wrapped up in it, I know he will be fine. Can you imagine how many tweets and emails and phone call Sec of State John Kerry will get if they detain Adam? And the Russian embassies around the world will not know what hit them.
Ohh Yeah.. DO NOT TOUCH OUR PRECIOUS!!!  |

May I assume there is no Dinner being served tomorrow that we know of? And just a brief confession: I thought the KGB looking in a navy jacket guy who accompanied Adam everywhere when he was in Moscow for his concert was definitely hot. That's all, just thought I'd throw that in in case anyone wants to go back and look at videos and watch him lurking, very James Bondishly, at the back of the stage. |

Anyone from the US should be very slow to condemn any other country over gay rights. In 2003 when the US Supreme Court ruled on Lawrence v. Texas -- Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia — still banned consensual sodomy without respect to the sex of those involved, and four—Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri — prohibited same-sex couples from engaging in anal and oral sex. We live is a very big glass house here. Adam is smart and he has managed his path with grace, dignity and without making major concessions. I trust him to charm everyone in Russia as he did in Indonesia and Malaysia. So true! I have been quite taken aback today by people so worried about Adam in Russia. I think Adam is smart and his management is smart. I have to ask those so worried, would you want him to not perform for his fans there? Obviously, by the sizes of the venues, he has quite a few. And what about Malaysia during GN or Singapore last week? We stan a man that doesn't shrink away from who he is. It is one of the things I love about him. We worried about thim before Maxidrom, and he was fine and then he went back with Queen and now his own concert. |

So.. Have they actually asked Adam's booking agent and that's the answer they get; or they just got that information floating around on the net. I remembered about this $500K number, in 2010 a couple of Russian concert organizer thought that they could bring Adam to Rusia with a fee of $80K. So when they contacted CAA, Adam's booking agent they found out that Adam's fee's $500K. Wasn't this for TWO concerts? That would be $250 per concert. |

Totally unrelated to what we've been talking about but does anyone know if Adam and Sauli bought or leased their new digs. I was looking at the condo prices and they seemed relatively low (considering).

I used to be a great worrier. I finally realized that worrying can suck the life right out of you. Now, I do my best to avoid it and other worriers, too. Worry Quotes (because somebody else always says it better): www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/worry
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.”
― Corrie ten Boom, Clippings from My Notebook
“If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry.
If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
“Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.” ― Benjamin Franklin
“Drag your thoughts awayfrom your troubles...by the ears, by the heels,or any other way you can manage it.” ― Mark Twain
“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them have never happened.”
― Mark Twain“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.” ― Leo Buscaglia
“Worry is most often a prideful way of thinking that you have more control over life and its circumstances than you actually do.” ― June Hunt

I was looking at the condo prices and they seemed relatively low (considering). It's a lease and the condos with the same square foot and layout in that building are priced at low one million range for sale, decent price for the location. But, it cost him pretty much the same (adding on the monthly HOA) to rent his previous house so....I get a feeling Adam is in no hurry or mindset to "settle down", yet, money is apparently not the concern to him but a good buy is always good whenever he decides to settle down.  |
