Thanks for the update Ghost. Wow! I know nothing about Singapore politics, but I was thinking wouldn't it be something if Adam's performance acted as a catalyst in repealing that anti-gay sex law that the government says it would never enforce anyway. What's the point of having it on the books then? Canada's former PM Trudeau said way back in 1967 when there was a debate to decriminalize homosexuality that "There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation." And that Prime Minister Trudeau was/is the father of our newly elected Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau....another of life's full circles Fascinating, isn't it?

Thank you Adam for this wonderful pic from M&G in Warsaw - one of the best TOHT concerts ever!

TOH in Vienna in May 2016 There are seated tickets on the oeticket site now!! When did that happen? Gallery seats and I quickly snagged 2 side gallery, but looks like not many good are available ... who bought the middle and did not tell ???? Well I'm happy I wont have to stand (and queue) for ALL "my" concerts now :-) I found those seated tickets today as well. Totally by accident. But Ia have my ticket (standing one) already and I think the venue is quite small so I decided not to change it.

"There is no such thing as a model or ideal Canadian. What could be more absurd than the concept of an "all Canadian" boy or girl? A society which emphasizes uniformity is one which creates intolerance and hate."

I am so impressed with Adam, again. A situation like this petition, and he issues a statement saying that he wants to be an uniter, not a divider. The world press picks up on the story, and instead of portraying him as a victim, the 'worst' thing they say about him is that he is 'too sexy'. Not even 'too much sex' or 'too gay', nope. Just too sexy for Singapore. The outpouring of support on twitter, the counterpetition that quickly gathered more votes than the original one. The tweet 'fighting Homophobia one song at a time'. He is owning it. Not kicking, lashing back. But a firm stand that says he and his own should not be bullied. Period. And then right after that he posts a picture of his Thanksgiving turkey on facebook. Yes it is sad that petitions like this happen Yes it is very sad that there are so many people that think this way Yes I guess that must hurt Adam too But his answer doesn't sound hurt or angry. For me it feels like the answer of a self-assured man who 'knows who he is, and who likes who he is' and who is calmly telling everyone that he isn't going anywhere. ILH
