I can't help wondering how this "impact day" on UK radio at the end of July is supposed to happen. They tried to get the ball rolling with print/online media back at the end of April but that didn't tempt radio to play GT. They then released the single and album to coincide with Adam's UK appearances presumably hoping to get enough buzz for radio to pick up the single, but that didn't work either. TOH then went top 10 in the album chart - Adam's first in this country - and STILL radio isn't interested. So what's left? Is Adam coming back over here in July to do a radio tour or something? Because otherwise I see zero reason for radio to change its mind between now and July 31st.  I think there might be three scenarios -- and they will decide in July. Here are three I can think of: 1. The longshot -- IF GT can get near or into the Top 10 on the US Pop chart, use that popularity to get Capital and BBC1 to consider adding GT. 2. If GT continues to build on Spotify, YouTube, etc. and Shazam does not decline a lot (this is an early indicator not a late indicator) and it continues to move up the US Pop chart, use that to get BBC to play it somewhere. 3. The alternative -- If they aren't interested in GT and/or WBP can't build a great case for GT, push single #2 in the UK. Are there clear musical preferences there that would suggest a different choice of single? I know you keep saying TISI is not single material...but it, and arguably ALN are closer to what has been huge in the Adele and SS tradition...that is, they are far more melodic rather than hooky. Just wondering.... |

Today I did something I thought I would never have the courage to do - walk out of my church during homily. The priest was on a rant about the Supreme Court ruling and used the same old tired arguments why this is so wrong, that gay couples could not raise families and that I cannot be a Catholic if I accept this ruling and that I am living in the dark. Ok then, if I cannot be considered a Catholic then I am out of here. We were seated on the second pew so we were very visible when my son and I walked out. And you know what? I never felt so FREE! I can still believe in my God but not in the confines of this very narrow-minded religion. As a member of a very devout Catholic family, I am sure this will not be acceptable but so be it! I stick to my decision.
FREE at last and so happy for my brothers and sisters in the gay community!

I think that shirt may be what they call "Burnout". I've seen it in tshirts...where it's really thinned out in parts. Seems like it would weaken the fabric and you'd need to be careful with it. Never seen it on more of a sweater looking material, but it looks awesome.

My very VERY important question is as follows: The lighter parts of the shirt - is it a sort of transparent fabric? Or is it just wishful thinking on my part, and actually it's just a golden color fabric? I say it's a see-through, but I can't be sure till I see a nipple. It's a see-through mesh of some sort - you can see his "Chasing The Original High" tattoo through it. We do need a better photo though! Good news! And yes - we need loads and loads of better photos!   |

You are living in the light....they are living in the dark. |

But not the least bit surprised! You are an exceptional human being!   BTW, I sent you a DM a few days ago! |

I'm sure you can find a church that better reflects your views though? (that is, if you wish to, of course). |

Never seen it on more of a sweater looking material, but it looks awesome. That's exactly what that fabric is. AND IT IS KILLING ME. Holy SHIT Adam is looking so hot in all those club photos.     </img> |
