How is he berting if there's no Adam mention? You have to watch the vid. I didn't think it was exactly berting, but he exhibited some enthusiasm. Not berting? He brought an artist who wasn't even releasing in fall into a conversation about fall album releases and made it all about him. And references to royalty were made. In my book, that certainly qualifies as berting. |

What I really detest is people who use the right of Free Speech as an excuse to spew hatred. Just because your right to be an ignorant, hateful mean spirited jerk is protected doesn't mean that people are just going to go on about their day without reacting to it. I see people all the time trying to use the Free Speech laws to protect themselves from criticism over what they have said. The laws just mean you can't get thrown in jail for saying it, not that people have to like or accept it. We are within our rights as well to call these people out and the more that this type of so-called joking is called out as being unacceptable the more things will change. Racism, homophobia and the like may never truly go away completely but just as racism has become publicly unacceptable homophobia will as well IF we consistently call people out for that behavior. It is along the lines of basic operant conditioning in that negative reaction to that type of speech will eventually reduce the occurrence. Changing laws is only part of the battle. The more long lasting part is changing the majority opinion. Polls on gay marriage have shown the progression of the change in public opinion and given that the strongest anti-gay actions are from older generations is a good indication that time will win out in the end. But although this whole twitter incident may seem minor in and of itself these little, seemingly insignificant battles add up to winning the war in the long run. Every time we stand up against this type of behavior we change the world. Don't ever let anyone diminish the importance of that.
The Glambert Nation is well on its way to becoming as much of a significant social force as the U2 fandom has been for the last 30 years. It is so easy for people to dismiss fans of musicians but in reality U2 fans have already paved the way and shown how a fan community can have significant social and political impact. Bono's power and influence is significant because his fans have rallied over and over to things he focuses his attention on and THAT is why he has the ear of pretty much every politician in the world. Adam's fans are well on the way to giving Adam similar power and influence. There is substantial evidence in press coverage that the media and the industry pay attention to Adam when he speaks and that is because of US. Own your power as a fan and wield it wisely.

Craazyforadam, I loved your post this morning about Adams hurdles in the industry and it had me wondering how many of these asshats are still out there in radioland? If Adam’s second album is as undeniable as I imagine, we may get a better feel for the size of the wall that still stands in his way. I think the hurdles are there without a doubt. In my travels for work, I am often in a rental car driving around (and often lost, LOL) during morning rush hour and I make it a point to listen to the most popular radio station in a given area. More often than not, I hear blatant homophobia and/or misogyny as part of the morning "jokes" and "banter." An uncle of an old friend of mine calls it the "Howard Stern syndrome". He says that since Howard Stern made it big that way, everyone else thinks that's their ticket to fame and fortune as well. Of course, TPTB at radio have to agree and/or believe the audience agrees in order to keep that kind of attitude on their air. Wasn't Mike Catherwood -- the jerk who made the prison rape joke on the Daily 10 on E! -- also a radio dj? in LA? He was a producer. You're right. I am very close to emailing the morning DJs who I listen to regularly, who are actually both ardent defenders of gay rights. Backup station is KROQ (where Catherwood is no longer producing morning show, but is still employed there), those DJs can be absolute assholes, but they are also very vocal about gay rights. They did a show on the Chaz Bono outcry and both railed about how insane the whole thing was. HOWEVER ... despite this, all four of them constantly talk about their "Man Cards," and if they like this movie or that show or they order this drink, etc. then they are not Real Men – they are could be perceived as gay or *!!GASP!!* woman-like. It is making me sick. And RYAN SEACREST, you are DJ No. 5 that I flip to, you are every bit as bad if not worse. Valentine in the Morning (KBIG) is too. Of course, all these DJs who are married worship and have tremendous respect for their wives (and daughters with one), so I know technically they're not misogynistic, but STILL they fall back on this brand of comedy. I so want to email them that this level of humor is totally passé now. It just doesn't work anymore, but they still cling to it because I guess it appeals to their straight-male demographic. But the shelf life is up on that, I think. |
