I'm So proud of Adam!!! An 8 year anniversary is a big deal & I loved every song on Trespassing!! My faves were Cuckoo and Shady tho & I still love them so much to this day!! The other thing that hit me, as I was starting to listen to the Queen- Freddie Tribute concert, and I know Freddie was amazing and without Freddie there would be no "Queen" , still this realization hit me so hard -- Adam IS NOW the sound and face of Queen!!! Ha!! It's only taken him 8 years but he's THERE!! He has so much to be proud of and he's worked so hard and is so deserving!!

I have a feeling that Adam is finally able to sit down, take a breath, and reflect upon his tremendous accomplishments since it all started for him over a decade ago.

Well, I just learned more about Boy George than I really wanted to know. It started because I wondered if he had been maybe bypassed. But no and for several reasons. First, he was lead singer for Culture Club and not a solo artist when their second album, Colour by Numbers reached No 1 in UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in 1983. The album peaked at No 2 in the US, the highest US album chart position for either him or the group. Second, he publicly declared himself bisexual to Barbara Walters in 1985 although he had, in 1983, told Joan Rivers that he preferred "both" men and women. Colour by Numbers came out in 1983. This stance back then puts him in concurrence with David Bowie and he doesn't count for openly gay No 1 either. There were numerous drug incidences but that was almost common in the day, but the real kicker is Boy George was convicted of kidnapping and assault in 2008 for handcuffing a guy to a wall fixture and beating him with a metal chain I am officially over Boy George. I think his comment was just his sense of humor. Shoshanna, who also reps him, laughed at the comment under the tweet. Who knows what the actual circumstances in 2008 were regarding that incident, and that was 12 years ago.. people do change and evolve over time. I remember when I was a young teen in Germany how "in awe" of Boy George and Culture Club I was when they performed "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" on tv for the first time. I did not even think about sexual orientation or anything like that and just thought it was the coolest song and look. I never followed Boy George until he popped up again through Adam. I was surprised to learn that he had a very dark chapter in his life, but good for him if he overcame it, learned from it, and hopefully transformed himself. I think he is quite intelligent with a sharp sense of humor. NO surprise that he and Adam get along.

I loved Trespassing,the only track that I didn’t like was cuckoo and I think the bonus tracks were my favourites along with Underneath and Outlaws of Love 😊

I am traveling down memory lane today to honor the many fun events that I was lucky to attend during the Trespassing chapter. The Del Mar Fair was one of them. He looks so young in that video, and I love the banter prior to him singing "Chokehold". youtu.be/DZhWUR9NJI0

He looks so young in that video, and I love the banter prior to him singing "Chokehold". youtu.be/DZhWUR9NJI0This is the day I walked up to Adam here in San Diego, before the concert---- he smiled and greeted me, I felt his arm around my shoulder, then there was a flash and I quickly walked away as he was telling me to enjoy the show. It is a total blur because the moments flashed by so quickly and nothing felt real. But I have our picture to look at on my screen saver every day {as well as other places} to reassure me that it wasn't a dream and that it really did happen. Still totally loving this man every day. Thank you for the sweetest memory, sizzling 63
