I have an extra ticket to the IZOD show, section 9 row B, seat 5. Selling for $400.00 which is under my actual cost. I also have space to share in my hotel room for July 23 if anyone is interested. Please send me a PM for more info. Thanks! I am not a new member, just never post, but have been here since the very beginning.... Wish I could go, but MSG is the only one left for me ... see you there! |

So, Let’s have a bit of fun. I have a challenge for you….fill in this blank. Adam Lambert can sign but he‘s no __________________. Forgive me Q3  Adam Lambert can sign but he is no Helen Keller.  Oh, you went there! I was gonna ignore that little typo. As a sign language interpreter and educator I frequently mis-type one for the other. But since you started it, WTH. Adam Lambert can sign but he is no cassie. (If you are talking about SINGING however, I would never put my name in even the same sentence as AFL.) |

Very touching. It reminded me that I was going to tell about my older brother, a 60-year-old guitarist and lover of all things musical. While I was visiting him during the start of the QAL tour, he asked if I had any more Adam videos to show him. (He doesn't do computers, so I have made special DVDs for him over the last couple years.) He really enjoys Adam. So we watched the iHeart tour preview and the Chicago Killer Queen on my laptop in my mother's living room. As we finished, my mom sad that my brother looks like he really enjoyed it and might have been teary eyed. He confessed, he did get teary. Songs of his youth. I don't remember him being a Queen fan, but certainly he knew the music. For a couple years, my mother, who is in dementia but still living "alone" next door to my brother, has stated that she does not like to have the radio on or any music. She just prefers silence nowadays. However, she is now visiting my sister and hubby who have been playing a stack of CDs of music from Mom's youth. Sis and hubby put headphones on her because she has hearing loss, and apparently she is sitting still with complete focus listening to this music. She has the CD cases all lined up in front of her so she can look at the tracks and liner notes. Then she's ready to listen again. Also, she is a musician and quit playing the cello a few years ago (she's 87). (Yes, we are all musicians in my family.) However, my guitarist brother has somehow gotten her to take her cello to nursing homes where he enjoys playing for the old folks. She has been improvising along with him, even on songs she barely knows. She's never done improv before. What a great creative outlet and mental exercise for her--and an example of how to keep on truckin' in old age. While I was visiting one of these nursing home gigs, another lady got up front and did a soft-shoe dance routine. I love the arts! Beautiful |

Don't hesitate to go to a concert if you don't have anyone to go with. I attended both concerts in Las Vegas by myself. The first night I sat next to an Adam fan from Idaho and the next night I was seated next to woman from Geprgia. I had a great time talking to them before and after the concert. Both nights we had to be shooed out by the cleanup crew.

Never fails. If you are shopping you will never find what you want. Start wandering aimlessly through sale racks and all of a sudden:  |

Not really a review, but a little blurb in www.nytimes.comwww.nytimes.com/2014/07/13/arts/music/stepping-in-out-in-front.htmlIt used to be called the Sammy Hagar Conundrum and lately has been rebranded as the Arnel Pineda Provocation: What to do when your favorite band takes to the road, and the recording studio, with a new person out front singing? This is an especially perplexing circumstance for fans of Queen, whose frontman, Freddie Mercury, died in 1991, and left a long shadow — in voice and attitude — that few would even try to fill. But the rest of the band members are mindful of the group’s legacy, and are always on the lookout for opportunities, though they may not have expected to find one on the “American Idol” stage. It was there in 2009 that they collaborated with Adam Lambert, the most theatrical contestant in the show’s history, and one of its most gifted vocalists, too. (They also played with the eventual winner, Kris Allen, a mouse next to Lambert’s cheetah.) Five years later, Mr. Lambert is fronting Queen on tour — no Freddie Mercury, but an unexpected, worthy place holder. (Thursday, Madison Square Garden; thegarden.com.) Just a small note on this concert preview: this was written by Jon Caramanica, one of the NY Times music critics. He has not been a fan of Adam's in the past -- he was very critical of Adam during American Idol, and he panned FYE (the Times didn't review Trespassing). So, this is very high praise coming from Mr. Caramanica. It looks like he may be finally coming around -- he'll likely never be a Glambert, but acknowledging Adam as "one of Idol's most gifted vocalists" and "a worthy placeholder" for Freddie is nice to see. |
