I'm Freddie -- but I would have been surprised to be anyone else since I am a singer and performer, too! When I was young, I had a crush on John Deacon but always resonated more with Freddie. HA! I never posted my recap of the second concert I went to--probably because I literally got off the plane and went right to work... then I spent much of last week sleeping to catch up from my 48 hour adventure! It really is hard to put the entire experience into words, but the best word I can use to describe the whole experience is "joy". I got Freddie but it makes no sense to me. I was once in a rock band but I was on bass and vocals -- and recall being pretty terrible. I was certainly not frontgirl material! But I do like vodka!  And I used to be a bit of a anarchistic narcissist. So maybe this silly quiz is not that far off! |

Okay so just had quite the thrill!! A good friend just sent me some pics to my phone and said "guess who my Dad sat near last night?" She knows I am a fan. Yes I knew immediately it was Adam and because of what he was wearing I replied "oh he was at Hair at the Hollywood Bowl?" She was impressed. Anyway, her Dad did not know who he was but several with him wanted their pics taken with Adam and my friend's Dad said he was told he was someone from American Idol and talked with him during the show! My friend filled him in on what else he has done. Why did I not go to see Hair? I love that show and know most of the songs. DARN. Apparently a bunch of photos were taken and she is going to send more but I don't know how to upload them. I'll have to ask my son or check the tech thread.  |

The NPR interview show "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross had a story about interactive TV (voting for talent shows, in particular) and the history of voting. You might find it interesting--what's new is old, and vice versa. One of the points made is one I think of whenever we have discussions about "how did Adam lose AI?!?!" I have always wondered why people think there is any truth to the outcomes that the shows announce. I just cannot get worked up about Adam losing to the lentil festival entertainer. The whole theory about Arkansas voting craziness, etc., just strikes me as so odd. The story states that the "clap-o-meter" on one show was "adjusted" depending on who the show wanted the winner to be. It's TV, not some validated elections. The shows don't have any obligation to be truthful, do they? Also, the following people were featured on old talent shows: Frank Sinatra, Beverly Sills, Tony Bennett, and Rosemary Clooney Here is the audio recording. 9 mins long www.npr.org/2014/08/04/337834047/how-interactive-tv-is-older-than-tv-itself |

I have been wanting to share more, to tell more, to ask more, but I don't know how to find the words. I want to find that connection again that I had with you, with Adam. Normally I am, and feel, so very far away. And then just for a week, travelling first, sharing later and finally just being there, in the same space with so many of you (even though most of us didn't even really meet), and Adam and Queen, I was very close. How do I even start to bring that magnificent feeling into real life? I am still living in that place in my mind, but at the same time answering emails, signing timewriting sheets, commuting, preparing meetings. It is confusing. I will find a new balance, I'm sure, but I know that once again Adam has kicked me out of my comfort zone and somehow I have to change again. So how do you do it? How do you take Adam with you in RL? Or is he more like an escape? Hope I can ask these questions, trying to make sense of all of this. [mods, please move if this should be somewhere else, as I'm aware it is not Adam news, but just don't know where else to put it] Oh, Nic, I so understand. I have to ask you . . . did you save the water bottle after you drank from it? When all of this first began - over 5 years ago - I felt such enormous joy inside, carrying the special secret that was Adam. It could be a bad day at work; or I could be caught in traffic; or upset over one of life's sad journeys . . . . but I would always come back to 'Adam' - and the secret, and the joy. It didn't bother me that the world didn't know - yet - what I knew. For a few years it stayed that way; but I always felt the need to see him again and again, up close, because I knew the day would come when he would become too big, too famous, for me to keep and hold close. The secret would be no more. 'Now, here we are' - and I'm confused because this is where I've always wanted Adam to be; and this is where I know I have to give up the privacy of my passion. Of course, I haven't nurtured him; but sometimes it feels like I helped. I haven't guided him, but sometimes it feels like my will rode on his shoulders. I haven't been his shelter or his muse or his touchstone, but I've been close to his heart - which he opened freely, through many songs' honest words. He is on his way! And I am on mine. If I stay in the place where I've been these five years, all I'll have to share are memories and old secrets. What do we do after the wish comes true? I need to believe there will be more firsts; more curtains rising and smoke and confetti in the air. If there is Europe & Queen I'll move heaven and earth to be there and I will find you! Our words will come again. As will another day. |

And I will be there with both of you because deep parts of me leap to life in this special space created by not just the voice, but the presence of a magical man. |
