I'm exhausted! Berting is strenuous! And we're just warming up...
A few comments...
I'm nodding my head at all those talking about their lack of productivity the last few days. Yikes. I'm glad I worked Saturday so that I got off my butt and out of the house. And back to work tomorrow -- good. But it's been great, amazing.
Like a few others here, I felt a slight bit of disappointment at the lack of Adam mentions in the news, but I was glad and a little chastened to read the opinions of Chunkey and others regarding how incredibly special and right it was for Adam to simply be introduced with Roger and Brian as Queen. That makes so much sense. And I did get a text message from one friend impressed with all the Adam accolades she was seeing on twitter. So yay!!!
I was holding on to a grudge against Hicklin (and that is so not my usual style), but he has pretty much redeemed himself with this interview and his comments. Not that he's become my favorite person or anything, but his willingness to learn and acknowledge mistakes on his part certainly raised my opinion of him.
That was a very nice interview with Adam. Love it when he speaks so openly. But the (tiny, haha) part of me that is a whiny little shit is still disappointed at the probability that we won't hear any of the angsty, darker stuff on his album. I was very aware that he had to be going through a major transition after the tour and the non-stop action of the last two years, and I kind of wanted to hear some of that. I am glad he spoke about it in the interview, tho. And I am glad that things are going so amazingly well for him in all aspects of his life. But I just find the idea of the darker stuff interesting. Maybe there will be a little on the album to balance things out. In spite of all of that, I'm beyond excited for the single, and the album.
And it was probably a joke, but...Sauli in the band?? I hope not!! Sounds like a bad idea to me! Although who knows -- if Adam wants to do that, I won't object, lol.
What a thrilling, satisfying experience the last few days have been! I don't go back to MJs very often anymore, but I had to go check out the response this weekend (feeling slightly petty, but whatever...), and it just seems so damn obvious that, as we all knew would be the case, Adam will be BY FAR the biggest star to have come off of that show. There will always be detractors, but it really doesn't matter.
*Happy sigh*
