Yes, once you're locked, only people who already follow you can see your tweets, but keep in mind, you can't tweet Adam or anyone else who doesn't follow you because even though you @reply him, he can't see it. I didn't know this. Wait till I tell my poor friend who has her account locked, that Adam has never received any of her tweets |

I haven't seen calls for "activity" either, but I don't have Twitter myself (I just sometimes read other people's twitters online). All the responses to that "apology" blog were beautiful, I thought, but I still felt ticked off about it, so I vented here at Atop. ( I did and do suspect homophobia - sorry, I do - based only on the fact that he seemed to feel it okay to tweet what he did in response to a FF request when he's never even HEARD Adam sing. So, why was he compellled? But, ultimately, that's for him to think about.) Adam's tweets about the designer are interesting to me. I thought - oh, good, I actually disagree with Adam (I'm not a mindless, slobbering fan, after all). But, then, I realized (and I hesitate to admit this) - after long, long resistance, I recently added two Chris Brown songs to my iPod. I just really, really, really like the songs. And then there's the airline thing - they're all different situations, I think, but they all go along a similar theme, too. I've always thought one of the most interesting things is when people change their minds about something related to values (for lack of a better a word) - the reasoning, the story, behind that. I think it is also possible he never bothered listening to Adam because of Ai. I do believe that there are a lot of people out there with prejudices against reality show contestants. |

I've always thought one of the most interesting things is when people change their minds about something related to values (for lack of a better a word) - the reasoning, the story, behind that. My apologies, I was just reading this thread, and I think people were just brainstorming/thinking aloud rather than actually planning to further pursue this topic. You are right that we don't know why he felt so strongly about Adam. I had a long chat with another fan about the Galliano issue the other day as we were both feeling conflicted. One thing I realized is that I do often separate the artwork from the individual artist, I consider art to have a life of it's own. Though it can be tainted/flawed by the artist's prejudices, and of course doesn't exist in a vacuum, people's response to it is in part a response to the environment in which it is created. I realized that two of the artists whose work has had a very strong influence on me personally (and the history of Western Art as a whole) and can be seen as intensely spiritual and uplifting, were horrible human beings in many ways. Caravaggio was notorious for violent brawling, wounded a police officer, a knight, and eventual killed a young man over a tennis game and had to run from the law and go into exile. Bernini was no better. His mistress, the wife of one of his assistants, was having an affair with his brother. When Bernini discovered this he attempted to kill his brother using an iron crowbar, and sent a hired thug to disfigure the face of his mistress with a razor. Would I 'forgive' either of these artists for their actions? Probably not. Do I think that there was a loss to the world when they died/could no longer create? Yes. |

Yes! His profile never ceases to amaze me! ;D
aralid, I agree! I thought he probably had an AI bias too, since he specifically said he had never listened to Adam. Another reason why album 2 is sooooooo important. I think it will break the AI bias for many people, hopefully a few of those are resistant PDs!

I didn't know this about Rose McGowan from back in 2009, I only knew that they presented together at the Do Something award. ( adamlamberttv.blogspot.com/)"Rose is a big fan of Adam. Back in 2009, TMZ interviewed her.... TMZ: So you are a fan of Idol? Rose McGowan: No, I like Adam Lambert. That’s different. TMZ: Do you watch it? Rose McGowan: I did when Adam Lambert was on it. I like Simon Cowell and Adam Lambert." rosemcgowan rose mcgowan Speaks for itself lockerz.com/s/1431779784 hours ago adamlambert Adam Lambert @rosemcgowan mmmhmm agreed!  3 hours ago |
