DAMIEN: Now at the Press Conference to announce your North American tour you said "The fans want us to do it, so we'll do it one more time". Is it the last time?
BRIAN: I'm kind of feeling that it is. It's the last big shot. Yeah, we won't be able to do it for ever, you know. Our bodies are not what they were when we were 35. Nevertheless, I'm thriled to have the opportunity. It's amazing that we have the chance. It's incredible that the tour sold out almost instantly. These are big places. It's a tour precisely on the same level as we did in 1986 or whatever with Freddie. So it's a big deal and you have to really take it seriously. We don't take ourselves too seriously hopefully, still, we take the job seriously and we want to be good value, and it will be something pretty big - pretty special, I think.Somehow it's so sad to hear Brian say that (bolded stuff)... and as a fan I feel the same as the stuff in red.... I feel so lucky to have the chance and the opportunity to see them live! ...and share the experience with my DD and my friends and all the fans... I also hope Brian means "the last NA tour" and not a tour in general... I think this could be the last tour for them -- but not the last concert. It is impossible for me to imagine they will not continue to perform. And the last show has to be in England. I am a bit of a Queen fan (you may have noticed). I am thrilled to have a chance to see a big Queen show again. With a big set and pyro and fog and a catwalk. Maybe stairs? I am more thrilled to see Queen with my favorite singer as the lead singer. No Adam is not Freddie -- but Freddie was not Adam. Two different artists, two different performers. Freddie and Adam are both showmen and great vocalists. Freddie had so much energy and an unparalleled ability to control the audience. Never saw anyone else do it like he could. And he poured so much energy into the performance. Adam is also a powerful frontman -- and vocally he does things that don't seem possible. Adam is sexy, more like Elvis than Freddie I think. The look, the energy flow, his presence. I never saw Elvis live -- but I think that is the closest to Adam in terms of presence. I attended one Adam concert with someone who know Elvis from when he was a child and throughout his life. She said they were similar -- and not in the way of an imitator but in some innate way. She is now an Adam fan. |

I just have to shake my head to this. What is wrong with some people? Katerina @jadelle1 22m Seriously?? Gosh... www.advocate.com/business/2014/04/29/ky-print-shop-guns-ok-gays-go-away …
Ky. Print Shop: Guns? OK. Gays? Go Away
Herald Embroidery has posted a crossed-out rainbow flag on its storefront, signaling it will refuse service to customers who request 'content promoting homosexuality.'
A print shop in Kenucky has created a customized ban on LGBT shoppers. Herald Embroidery, which creates personalized merchandise like T-shirts, prints, and banners, recently stamped antigay signage on its Oak Grove, Ky., storefront: a rainbow flag with a red line through it. The sticker reflects the print shop's policy to refuse service to LGBT customers and those seeking products “that promote ideas that are not in keeping with our consciences,” according to a statement on the store’s website clarifying the meaning of its graphic. “While we will serve all customers who treat our place of business with respect, we reserve the right to refuse to produce promotional products that promote ideas that are not in keeping with our consciences,” the statement reads. “This includes, but is not limited to content promoting homosexuality, freemasonry, the use of foul language, and imagery which promotes immodesty. ”
The crossed-out out pride sticker is one of five circular graphics on the Herald Embroidery storefront, which have been created in the style of “no shoes, no shirt, no service” policies often seen on retail establishments. Another that also has a prohibitive red line through it is a graphic that reads “foul language.” Three other images are circled in green, signaling approval: a beard, a gun, and a Biblical verse.

This is better than the cover that Sony Legacy put together for the Playlist album. |
