For me, the "Best of..." compilation is a win-win situation, because it gave Adam a decent news cycle for one, but more importantly, he came out of the whole situation as morally superior without moving his little finger, and yet again, established his reputation as an artist who "...makes the kind of music he wants to make, and does it on his own terms. He takes risks, bucks the trends
...", etc. which some publications felt the need to reiterate - because it's true. Everybody who can see beyond their noses are aware that it isn't him who is behind the compilation, but Sony (RCA), who I don't fault for that at all - they wanted to make a smart business move, make a quick buck, and I can only feel good about them finding Adam's songs profitable. I don't want to read anything further into that, I couldn't care less whether they regret letting Adam go or not, because I am happy he left, for all the reasons stated multiple times before. It was a smart move on his part.

Quite accidentally, the best thing about this publication is that it helped warm up the general vibe and atmosphere surrounding Adam, the one where I feel like so many people are rooting for him, cheering from the bleachers and wanting him to succeed in every possible sense of the word, recognizing that "he is an important artist to have around" for reasons which transcend the usual business moves and expected behaviour on all parts. I have always felt that everybody should want him to do it his way and make it and now I see more and more people do that. Funny thing is it wasn't RCA's intention at all! It just organically happened, because it's, you know... Adam, he is lovable that way:) The whole world is going to become one huge Glambert. So, as I said, a win-win situation.

The only downsides would be a), a possible misprepresentation ( too strong word, but I can't think of another), if you think that Adam has much better songs in his repertoire (which he does, but it is indeed a nice collection; poorly chosen Trespassing singles strike again), and b) a few people getting snarky of him releasing a 'hit album after only one hit' ( but they belong in a group of those who don't know that this is not published by Adam, and who clearly confuse the meaning of 'best of' with 'hits collection', and who would probably complain about something else eventually, which makes them discardable). But after Adam's tweets all that is cleared up!!! Clever man:)))

All this imho, of course.

Mys*&@^#r, 
But can I bet on that summer 2015 tour being in California in July ???  This is the third year in a row that I am going to Adam concerts in July.  (2012-Costa mesa + FS2, 2013-San Diego + Paso Robles, 2014-Queenbert) (Wait, wasn't Glam Nation at the Warfield in San Francisco in 2010 also in July?)  Anyway, I like the convenience of being able to plan in advance that my July will be spent, at least in part, traveling around California (and maybe a little of Nevada) to see concerts!  LOL  

peace&love
