I am just starting to "flail". I am slow to flail and slow to think the world is ending. I have been almost in a zen state about this album since the beginning. Because Adam seems so confident and powerful and filled with positive, creative energy. I just know it will all be OK and it will be amazing. And for the first time in my music life --- I really do not care what the numbers are, I do not care about the machinations of promo schedules, I just want to suck in the bits of the energy flow he chooses to share. So I guess I am now officially an OTT Adam fan. [Anyone have an asylum/GNAMFBL Addicts Center photo 'cause I guess I need to check in now.] ETA: Good GNAMFBL Day y'all!!! I understand what you mean. But I'm interested in numbers, mainly for the fact that I think the more he sells, the more creative freedom he has, and the more budget he'll have to create his creative vision that he would like for his tours and videos etc. but I also just want to see him being undeniably incredibly successful.  |

Thanks for making the song list, Q3! I'm with you! Like Leila said on AI, I just want Adam to be happy doing what he loves. ETA: Marie of course, (Eber) wildly successful wouldn't be bad, either, LOL |

Yep, I'm feeling really excited and really calm regarding what's ahead for Adam, too.
I KNOW Adam's created great music. I know we're all in for great appearances, interviews, etc.
I marvel at the incredible life he is already-right-now living (and, I think, throughout ups and downs he's always actively chosen to make his life full, meaningful, etc.).
Adam might be as "big" (albums sold, chart-toppers . . . $$$money$$$) as . . . well, whoever - and he might not be! I don't know!?! To me, he's just already such a winner and such a prize. I am so happy for him and for his fans right now.

Happy GNAMFBL DAY!!! ****CONTINUED FLAIL***** Yaay for rain in Texas. Hope it keeps raining down. Thank you, Q3, for that list. It must have been incredibly time consuming for you. And yes, it is amazing how many of those songs I would kill to hear Adam sing. Hope A is in the studio again with Rico again. I totally approve of his Tweet/TwitVid MO    Keyboard, your cousin-in-law sounds like an exceptionally brave and honorable man. I've always thought DADT was reprehensible, but nothing personalized it more to me than when I read an essay last December in a darkened hotel room on a gloomy, rainy day. It was my birthday and the day after Adam's last GNT concert, so despite the elements, we were all on Cloud 9. I came across an essay written by the long-time partner of a soldier who was about to be deployed. Again. He wouldn't be able to go and see his boyfriend off as the other SOs would. His partner couldn't keep photos of their lives together over his bunk as all the others did. If they were to have children together, he couldn't even mention their existence. I began to think of every war movie or TV show I ever saw and the long hours of downtime and how soldiers shared every aspect of their lives – wives, girlfriends, children, home, families ... Gay soldiers would have to listen to all of this an never say a word. They would have to deny their partners and children and pretend they were single with no dependents, which could possibly result in more hazardous duties. (Sure, many may have chose to share their lives, but they did it at high risk.) When enlisted personnel get married, they immediately get a raise. A neighbor girl I knew during the Iraq War married her BF when they were 18 so he could make more money in the Navy. He divorced her as soon as he got out. But in the meantime, she was revered as the brave military wife. TV shows do holiday satellite hookups for families, which is lovely, but no gay soldier is allowed to participate in those. They're not allowed to participate in the ticker-tape homecomings full of storybook reunions. Those are the elements that brought it home to me how great their sacrifice is and was.  To want to still serve despite all of this is the very definition of honor. ETA: Hey wait, where did keyboard's post go? |

Anyone want to know why Rico uses "Turn the Lights on?" (Noy a deep spiritual meaning! LOL!) t.co/OAmAPkah |
