sizzling63 Now I am wondering how long it will keep going. That is a big question isn't it, but I think it will keep going as long as Brian and Roger are still willing and able to play. I don't see Adam continuing it after that except to sing their songs at his own smaller gigs and for audiences as requested by media. if now he could already be considered "nostalgia" I think all people who are vanguards for a new era are before their time. They are underappreciated when they are current and often underappreciated by those who benefit from their trailblazing. The feminist movement definitely comes to mind here. And yes, I think Adam is now "nostalgia", but that is not a bad thing. He did not reach the heights he could have but he did make a difference for the LGBTQ+ community. That's a lot. Adam's talent is immense and so is his humanity. I like the thought of him progressing back into musical theater. The danger that I see is that he tries to hold onto youth, does not accept wisdom, and does not evolve and grow. I am hesitant about the subject of his own musical, but more than willing to see if it is good and shows maturity. On an related note, Johnny Depp has not aged well. That he is ten years younger than me makes it just a little bit easier to look in the mirror. 8-)

I am not sure if the "Peter Pan Syndrome" will ever dissipate as I think he is a bit stubborn and stuck in his ways. My opinion hasn't changed that as nice and talented a guy he is, he is probably not good at taking advise. With regards to the musical, I am not holding my breath yet. I just watched a video of Johnny Depp's trial and I am shocked at what has become of him. I get what you are saying.
