Watching Adam in action today was a thing of beauty. As Hoppers said, he played that DJ like a fiddle. First using the RT of the DJ's douche-y tweet to draw attention not only to the nail polish issue but also to the DJ's lame comment. (And I'm of the opinion, based on the guy's subsequent tweets, that he was not making thoughtful social commentary, but making fun of Adam.) Adam knew his RT would get his fanbase mobilized, and he let that gather steam for a while, in the meantime tweeting a couple of astute comments about the gender "confusion" issue. Then he tweets the DJ, basically ascribing the guy a praise-worthy motive (which is BS, cuz that wasn't the guy's intention and Adam knew it, lol), and at the same time calling off the fans. Not only did the DJ get totally played, but amazingly, he was left feeling good feelings about Adam. Brilliant. Also gotta point out that Adam wrangled his fans pretty darn well, too. Stirred 'em up in support of him, and then called them back when the point was made. And we were left feeling even more good feelings about Adam. Just as brilliant. Smart smart smart. Love him! And I totally agree with Rabbitrabbit. I like to always start from a place of assuming that people want to do the right thing, and are open to a civilized conversation. If you start with insults and name-calling, you've lost before you ever had a chance to change someone's mind. Yep....watched the whole thing on my phone, at work (don't tell them :  . It was pretty awesome. IA the DJ did mean it as a douchey comment. |

Ah, but I don't see what Adam did as manipulation of the fans at all. I see it as Adam knowing his fans and trusting them to have his back, and emphasize a point he wants to make. It's a relationship, with lots of give and take. The power of social media in action. JMHO and anyone's MMV as always, of course  I agree. |

Perceptions can vary by degrees certainly. However, I don't think there's anything sinister even if this is close to the way it went down. Rather than looking to kick the ass of some obscure dj, I would assume IF this happened that Adam felt moved to comment on a national debate (some may be unaware but this J Crew issue has been in the news for last few days). By RT a common, off-hand sort of remark - whether snotty or benignly stereotypical - Adam gets to highlight social attitudes and comment, asking people to question some assumptions. The DJ yells he's getting fan-hammered so Adam says - 'hey good debate' and eases the tension. And it IS a much needed discussion. (Next = those fucking Babies R Us stores! Fight the real evil!) I think that if some peeps are going to give benefit of the doubt to the DJ then they also should give benefit of the doubt to Adam and his supposed motivation IMHO : ??? :D Indeed. We can only speculate. Adam moves in mysterious ways his wonders to behold. (I think Bono said that...) |

Adam always leaves the window open as an escape when he backs you in the corner. Love that quality.

Happy Birthday Cheriemelisa, Lifetraveler and Lifeguard!!! And happy birthday to Angelkrash too I think I missed you yesterday. ETA: I'm still catching up so also a very happy birthday to the incomparable EmoElvisSpikeyMessyElvis. What would we ever do without you to name Adam's hairstyles. Did you see that UK paper tried to name his do for the NNN awards? They suck. Awww. Thanks, BB. I'm caught up now and can't believe how creative some of these BD wishes are. Lest I forget someone, I won't call out any names but you guys rock!! BTW, I did not see the UK paper. Really? They tried to name a 'do. Will have to check that out. |

For those interested, I was able to record this program with Real Player. If you have Real Player (free) on your computer, just tune in to the station, select Real Player, and click on the record button (lower left hand of the screen). I understand it will be rebroadcast at 5:00 p.m. EDT for the next few days. |
