I have the day off, and I'm up extremely early in the morning. It has nothing to do with Black Friday and everything to do with my cat! Oh well! I had a small Thanksgiving dinner yesterday for family. I was showing off my iPad, and within two seconds, my son-in-law said: "There he is." Of course it was an Adam video! I decided not to put a lot of music and videos on my iPad but had transferred one video during my tech support call when I first got my iPad. Guess who I transferred?  Then I went to the TV guide on my computer to find out what channel a football game was on, and automatically slipped over to Atop and was scrolling through some pics to get to the new posts when my daughter walked in. I got: "MOM, you're so obsessed!" The good news is that it lead to a discussion about some of the collaborations on Trespassing, and when I mentioned Pharrell, my daughter got excited. She already likes Adam and has gone to two concerts with me but doesn't LOVE him...yet. One more funny family story. I'm chatty in the early morning! My daughter who had Thanksgiving dinner with me started following me on twitter fully knowing that I use it to follow Adam. A week later, my younger daughter started following me too. She knows I'm Adam obsessed but didn't realize it was my only purpose on twitter. After the Queen concert I posted something to the effect of: "shaking...crying...he KILLED it!: I got an @ reply a few hours later. She was concerned and thought I may have witnessed an accident or murder or something! ;D |

Preventing the songs from being sung by other artist, IMO causes the music to die for the next generation and starts to nullify the influence. |

Based on the almost unanimous positive response that Adam received on QUEEN fan sites, my impression is that most core QUEEN fans are fine with someone sing these songs if they do it well and do not "mock" Freddy or pretend to be Freddy. |

I think Adam should show up to meet the in-laws looking just like this. It was my favorite look for a long, long time. t.co/XeFH3YwF |

When and where did they say this?? ??? |

Hello,everyone! Not sure how to put up a post (this is a reply box:) I'll figure it out. Eventually:) Anyways, here's an Adam fan from Serbia. I love your blog and I've wanted to join the berting for a while, but never found enough time or patience to register. Now you won't be able to scrape me off of yourselves:)
