LOL I think it's a protest. I suppose it could be called a parade...lol Parade! Lol. That’s cute. It‘s one of the ongoing Traktor demonstrations by German farmers. About a thousand of them demonstrated today in Bonn for instance. They more or less shut down the traffic of that city.

Ich bin ein jelly doughnut...... Presumably a reference to when President Kennedy said ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ thinking he was saying he was a Berlin man.....(at one with Berlin) when what he really said was ‘I am a doughnut’. (Needed to leave out the ‘ein’ ) Huh? I‘m from Berlin. Nothing President Kennedy said, was wrong. The „Berliner“ (some kind of doughnut without a hole) isn’t called „Berliner“ in Berlin. It’s a“Pfannkuchen“. (In other regions of the country, the same one is called „Berliner“.) But no one here would have misunderstood that. Because ein Berliner is a resident of the city. With or without „ein“, man or woman. Ich bin auch ein Berliner! Thank you Nightowl. I have no doubt you are absolutely right. But it’s been a commonly held bit of fun since President Kennedy said it....often seems to crop up and loads if you google it. i always thought it was the ‘ein’ that was the problem. Adam/his dad must have been aware of the Phrase too....otherwise, I have no other ideas.

Wow! The man definitely knows how to wear a jacket/coat thingy. Spectacular! He looks so good. I can't get the interview to work on that link. Goes to the page but does not get to the audio. Little circle just spins. Maybe a better link at some point? Very excited to hear it. And "Closer To You" next single? Hmmm. Yes. Adam does look good. He looks that same as he looked before he got sick (?). Thank the universe for that. I sure hope he can get some exposure in the US for SP to help give it a push. Looking forward to his performance in the UK.

Just a quick note that the Adam Full Circle website adamfullcircle.com is now fully viewable on mobile phones (the original version of the website was too large to read on a phone). I had to manually redefine the size and placement of all content to fit within a phone's screen, but it was totally worth it.

farmers held a nationwide protest today in Germany. Driving home from my grandmas my mom and I saw quite a few heading home from Munic. While I FULLY understand the farmers complaints and their profession does deserve more respect I think they are directing their anger towards the wrong direction. The "Bauernverband", the farmers union basically, is a mafiosus club. The leaders are lobbyist of the agricultural industry and have IMMENSE power on politics. (comparable with the automobile industry here or the NRA in the US) Key figures have over ten positions in boards of agricultural companies, politics, insurances, etc. of course they're going to make politics to benefit the agricultural industry. This is all not a conspiracy theory, it is facts from well researched documentaries and articles. Also fact remains that farming IS KEY to many or all of our environmental struggles. It can be part of the problem but also a BIG part of the solution. Farmers have been disgrunteled, in Bavaria, ever since the petition "Save the bees - biodiversity" In Baden-Würtenberg the Bauernverband is lobbying HARD against the same kind of petition because it would restrict the use of chemicals (pestizides, fertilizers)
Ok sorry, tmi since nobody asked. Environment is just my issue. Next to music my big love.
As it seems i'll be on lookout ready to leave the house as soon as i find out Adam is in Munic. lol
