On Saturday at 10AM a group of us will be on the ribbon of highway taking us home from Paso Robles!! Which means we won't be able to have a good computer connection in hopes of buying iHeart tickets!! Aarrrugh!!!! I second the idea that anyone who can purchase tickets on Saturday please, please buy an extra one, two, or three!! I, for one, will be forever thankful to purchase one from you! I want to be as close as I can - - but not at a cost of $$$thousands!!! I WILL purchase four even though I only need two for this very reason, should I get that lucky. Hopefully other fans will do this too:-)

This is a good read.
∞ Mary, Please ∞ S4A scorpiobert Nice post by JLE on MJ's. C/P here so no one has to give her hits (I took one for the team). tl.gd/n_1rlckfc via @lightlovephoto "Here is a view from a long time Queen fan. And no, I wasn't born when they started. Queen is iconic and loved around the world. I was devastated when Freddie died. My friends thought I was nuts. (high school). I lived overseas for quite a while and fell in love when I was very young. After Freddie, time passed and then Queen came out with Paul Rodgers. I was not a fan of Paul at ALL. He is fine with his band but he had a very small range and couldn't even come close to pulling off Queen's more challenging catalog. They didn't even try most songs. Marc Martel is just a sound alike, to me, and brings nothing new to the group. Some long time fans will say they want him but as soon as he would sign up they would rip him apart too."Too much a copy cat." That is the problem with legends, it is hard to let go of someone that is that great. No one can replace Freddie. Ever. I watched Idol and liked Adam. But, that was about it. When I heard they were getting an icon award and preforming at the EMA's I was curious. Expecting to hate whoever was singing. I was VERY surprised to hear Adam. Thought it was okay but he had a lot of vibrato going on so not so sure. Watched it back a few times and just caught something that made me take notice. Confidence? The high notes? Not sure to this day. Anyway, when it was announced that Queen and Adam were dong Sonisphere I thought, well, why not. I have waited my whole life to see and hear Queen music live so let's go. When it was cancelled I was actually sad. Then they announced Hammersmith, the "home" of Queen. I had to go. I was WAY more excited to see Roger and Brian and still a little upset that Deacon stayed retired. Still iffy on Adam. Met a bunch of Queen fans at Distillers Arms bar down the street from Hammersmith, all not quite sure what to expect. Seven Seas of Rhye opened the show and by the time it got to Don't Stop Me Now we were hooked. WHAT? Who is this? He was incredible. I was shocked. I almost didn't want to like him but I did. In fact I bought scalper tickets for the next 2 shows. I started looking into Adam as an artist and he has an amazing voice and great stage presence. I like some of his music and actually went to a concert recently. He is better on stage than his recorded music. He just needs the right material and the right promotion at the same time. He is tricky because he is so hard to define as an artist. Is he rock? Is he pop? Is he a ballad singer? Kind of like Freddie, he blurred the lines with music and incorporated it all. That is why Queen's music is iconic and that is why I feel it is a great honor that Brian and Roger feel like he is good enough to stand with them and sing those songs that are timeless. To diminish what he brings to Queen is silly and I have learned not to judge because people will surprise you if you give them a chance."

Gelly @14gelly I LOVE THIS TWEET! twitter.com/QueenRockBand/status/356812509581287424 … Queen@QueenRockBand . ♔ KEEP CALM AND LISTEN TO QUEEN+ @adamlambert 'THE SHOW MUST GO ON'goo.gl/C0a4Z EMAs Director's Cut ADAM LAMBERT/Queen Medley 11-6-11 HD EMAs Director's Cut ADAM LAMBERT/Queen Medley 11-6-11 in HD Ripped by @galechester from MUZU TV: High Definition MTV Director’s Cut Version of ADAM LAMBERT & Queen… View on web Sooo love their tweet!!! Thank you Gelly and Adamrocks... The profound and powerful poetic justice of this video, this song, and Adam's work with Queen does not fail to bring tears to my eyes and squeeze my heart. Few things in life have touched me as much. I loved Queen before. Absolutely loved. But now it is mad love. Though I know almost zilch about what truly goes on behind the scenes, a few things suggest that they've gone beyond just performing with Adam, the ridiculously talented singer and entertainer, and are supporting/mentoring Adam behind the scenes as he blooms and grows and fights to express his own unique artistry. This support is without price. It is support from two big hearted, madly talented, hugely successful musicians that Adam looks up to. I am deeply thankful for any part Brian and Roger play in helping advise Adam during this fight to remain free, unique, out the box, and fully self-expressed. There are so many sharks and traps. Everyone needs a good advisor and mentor. So few get a mentor with even a fraction the heart and success of Brian and Roger. Who could better know the shark infested waters? Noone. Their taking Adam under their wings makes this world look a whole lot brighter. What a wonderful world this would be if more were like them...

Ya my name IS carter @_AOStarlighter_ 7m Adam Lambert's Most tweeted tracks on Twitter Music today 1. MUSIC AGAIN 2. WWFM 3.SOAKED 4. RUNNIN 5.TRESPASSING music.twitter.com/adamlambert Can some more twitter literate folks educate me/us here, please. I can find online efforts to tweet using #music (whole group of folks, both pros and fans posting there), then I find #MusicMonday and a whole other set of folks clued into that chain of discussion and then I find the website quoted above, for which I do not know what method of collection and counting has taken place. What is your experience? Which one is the most active, widespread, influential, etc.? Are any of you participating in one of them? Would it be worthwhile to become a bit more engaged in social media on that level (doing prep work here for A3). Going back to that -What can we do to increase Adam's online footprint? - discussion, we had a while back. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
