I will do that when Adam is safely in Finland...Being political is easy when you're home sitting at your computer. What Adam is courageously doing is going into the mouth of the dragon.. I'm not going to help stir up any controversy at this point. Just my opinion for what it's worth.IMHO Milonov is looking for scapegoats and looking to further his ambitions.. He can interpret OOL in any way that will help his cause. I also don't want to make it hard for concert goers who may be afraid of being at Adam's gig.From what I have read there were about 80 arrests of people at Madonna's concert.I will work like a dog for justice after Adam leaves.. The Russian government allowed Adam to book this concert in St. Petersburg, Russia, knowing full well that he is gay...where is this idea coming from that he's in danger somehow? As for OOL it's clearly about the LGBT community. "They say we'll rot in hell" is almost a direct quote from every bible beater/anti-gay person on the planet. I do think he'll sing the song though and I don't believe he'll have any issues doing so. Madonna is controversial just for the sake of it and I have no doubt that the 80 people arrested weren't arrested for merely being pro-gay rights. I'm not saying Adam shouldn't sing OOl.. I think It's an important song.. I just don't want to be part of a twitter campaign with the song.. At least not 'til Adam is in finland. |

I have never visited Russia, but a lot of my friends have and they have experienced there many very awkward situations. |

MY DH and I have visited St. Petersburg & the city is a wondrous place,but I have to say ,we felt uncomfortable.. It was a feeling of unease and that was before all this show of bigotry. |

 We know what every song is "really" about because we stan Adam and read everything he says. Pretty much every song on the album can be interpreted many ways (even Shady.) He has also said in interviews, that OOL can be about any forbidden relationship. And in 3 concerts on this tour, he has called it about being different and weird and unaccepted in general. So while I fully expect Adam to sing OOl here, I do not think it will be interpreted or be in anyway dangerous or controversial for him, or against their law. I am going to request that everyone who is on Twitter, tweet the link to a good You Tube of OOL in St Petersburg though.  I will do that when Adam is safely in Finland...Being political is easy when you're home sitting at your computer. What Adam is courageously doing is going into the mouth of the dragon.. I'm not going to help stir up any controversy at this point. Just my opinion for what it's worth.IMH Milonov is looking for scapegoats and looking to further his ambitions.. He can interpret OOL in any way that will help his cause.This is not a NICE MAN! I also don't want to make it hard for concert goers who may be afraid of being at Adam's gig.From what I have read there were about 80 arrests of people at Madonna's concert.I will work like a dog for justice after Adam leaves.. sing OOL or not. People like Milonov always find something to stir up controversy - Adam will smile to someone on the street and it will be enough for them. If Milonov really want to harm Adam's concert he will find the way. That's why this is important to show him that he can't do whatever he want to do. He probably will not understand what this is all about, but this is important for fans to feel connected, to show some kind of resistance - OOL can be some kind of anthem for them. |
