Thank you for the information on cheap flights to Europe!
I'll be referring to your post in the months to come.
What can I say? Will I be going to Europe and the UK to see Adam & Queen??? It's not so much a decision as it's a compulsion. Since every DNA thread in my body knows I must be there, it's not a matter of 'will I?' but instead 'how will I?'
I may fly on that glittery plane, or find a seat on LindaG23's hippie bus . . . but I will find a way. So, I'll just leave it at that, and it's all good . . . because when I lay my weary body down tonight, I'll know that, once again, and maybe for the last time, Queen & Adam will shine somewhere in my future.
As for all the speculation about A3, what this means for A3, how this will impact the next single, will the album be delayed, will the release of A3 pfffft out like Trespassing (possibly due to touring with Queen instead of staying stateside and promoting), will this make Adam's new moniker 'Queen's frontman' . . . .
I think this way. If any friend out there came to me and said "I'm doing this amazing thing! . . ." and then told me about it; I wouldn't second-guess the decision at all; I'd offer my congrats and support and wish them well. I wouldn't dive in to offer advice because it's not requested of me. I wouldn't dive in and question how it would impact their life because it's THEIR life, not mine. So why do we do this with Adam? This man we don't know? This grown man? Who has a legion of family and friends who will come to bat for him in a nanosecond?
Maybe it's because Adam really is a stranger to us. We can speculate until the cows come home; it's cathartic, it's thoughtful speculation, it's a way of communicating to one another, letting it all hang out, and it's actually fun - most of the time! It's the 'fun' part I'm getting to, in my roundabout way. I want to be reminded why I'm here. Good Lord, on a fan site. My one and only. Why? I'm not following an artist who will fade into the wallpaper if his next creative endeavor tanks. Five years ago I told my family that Adam would one day be known as the greatest artist/vocalist in my lifetime. This was my reasoning as they collectively wondered why I fell off the deep end (although I would argue I spend an inordinate amount of time in the shallow end). Adam is creating his history - all he needed was a moment. AFL looked to the Universe (at Burning Man! Yes!) and knew what he needed to do. He is sealing his fate as I write. He will be epic, iconic, legendary, historic . . . all those words, used to label others far too often. I'm a silly Indigo child who never believed in horoscopes or spirits or mantras or muses. Or in Indigo children. Until 2009.
Adam's journey is not as easy as steps forward and steps back. It's a voyage off the edge of the earth; an explorer who sets out wondering what lies beyond the edge; ready to take the leap into a naked void. Shaggy and staggered; dangerous, sharp, murky, stinky, salacious, delicious, despicable. Ready to embrace the void; create within the unknown. Ah - create the unknown.
I'm so over crisp, white sheets. Be clean when we meet; be messy and real when we talk.
I'm all for wherever he goes; after all, I'm only tagging along to his dream. If he took my advice it might become my dream - and I've already enough in my pockets to call upon.
I'll just be amazed by the brilliance of it all. The voice; the intelligence; the looks; the sex; the fashion; the wit; the honesty; the imagination; the independence; the strength; the humor; the empathy.
. But nothing and I mean NOTHING can stop me from attending a few concerts here in Europe. Maybe they even come to Germany - this would be EPIC!
