Mr. Sterling Fox I am not amused by your unprofessionalism...screwing with Adam's planed roll of the song and giving out (maybe) lyrics to the song.  Pardon my French and my perhaps off-topic comment, but I so fuckin' hate the contemporary matrix of Pop song writing & production, in which potentially successful songs can apparently only be created within a "commercially-correct" group mind, composed of individuals that are part of an industry-accepted or industry-recognized clique, common to so many different Pop recording artists, from A to Z. I am so looking forward to a single or an album, in a distant future, in which Adam will be the incontrovertible M-A-I-N creative force and not just a cog in that damn commercial wheel that makes the pop music go 'round. OK, I am most likely overreacting or even losing my mind in regards to this particular issue, but can I just repeat that I fuckin' hate the current matrix of pop music writing & production? How can one pursue or be all about artistic individuality and integrity within such a matrix (the POP music matrix)? That being said (and despite the convoluted and the distressed nature of my comment), I must admit that I absolutely LOVE the two teasers that Adam has shared with us for his next single, Ghost Town... Go figure! ;-) My husband and I have this discussion frequently. For me, I can split pop music into categories, like movies. Sometimes I love watching award winning movies, that make me think and feel. Other times I enjoy a good romance or disaster movie with the only redeeming value is keeping me entertained for 2 hours. Then there are other movies that I will watch again and again while I fold laundry. Perfect example are the lethal weapon series - zero redeeming value. Adam's music is the best of both worlds for me, fun and depth. |

Ghost Town spoilers or not I like those lyrics a lot and want to hear Adam sing them.  |

I am just catching up. If this has been said already, I apologize for being repeating.
I think of a rock version of a pop song a bit like a remix. It will hardly be noticed, it will only help promote the original version and no one in the music biz is stupid enough to do anything to offend Max M., Shelback or WMG.

ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR CELL PHONES, TABLETS, ETC, WITH LARGE TEXT THAT CAN BE READ BY SOMEONE WITH REALLY BAD CLOSEUP VISION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Loved the story about your dad still being able to dance well into his 80s, and the imageof the two of you dancing among the tables at a restaurant is heartwarming and charming! As for his vision and devices -- I am not familiar with the Kindle device (I use a Kindle app on my iPhone), so sorry I can't be more help with that. iPhones and iPads both allow you to select larger text size (Settings - General - Accessibility - Larger Text). However, this does not always make the text for toolbars and commands bigger. If he doesn't mind learning to navigate with three fingers rather than one for swiping, you can turn VoiceOver on (also in the Accessibility menu). It will read all the titles, toolbars and commands aloud -- it can drive you a little nuts, though, and navigation is clumsy. I tend to toggle VoiceOver on and off when needed -- toggle by pressing the Home button rapidly 3 times in a row, and turn it off the same way. Audible, as mentioned, is a great source of talking books, and there are also free apps with classic (past copyright) books read aloud by volunteers -- I've listened to "Moby Dick," "Walden Pond," "The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius" and "Tale of Two Cities" for free on the Audiobooks app. I have no central vision, so know lots of tricks -- PM me if you have more questions. |

I know that you are in the UK, but for those in the US, there is a company called 3dRose (www.3dRose.com) that makes photo clocks. They have literally 100s of designs, but they will also imprint a photo of your own onto a clock. If you want a special decoration for your wall, check it out. As an example:  Trying to decide if I need an Adam Lambert wall clock. Hmmmmm. |
