How I got into the rabbithole.
Growing in the small town in Finland and being a teen in 70s it was quite a miracle that I heard of Michael Jackson, or rather Jacson 5, so early. It hooked me with first hearing. Cute child lead singer did help. The C-cassets did not arrive so fast, so probably Michael was like 11 in those recordings. It became a life long love.
How I got hooked to Freddie Mecury, I don't quite remeber, it happened later. I think Music TV in 80s brought Queen really in my horizon. However, I was already living my busy years, graduating and having my first job, so I grew into him and Queen slower. But fell as deeply in love as with Michael.
I also was Glam, Glitter and Black before Adam was even born, loving also performers like David Bowie and Boy George.
So I made a career, had my kids, and listened to Michael and Freddie. In diffucult times they always helped me over. Now they are both gone, and I have been thinking that "that's it" I need to live on with what they created, since cannot, during my lifetime, find anything like them, and even if I could, I could not find that connection, since I am not young anymore.
And then..
I saw Adam in Idols, loved the voice and performances (and looks
) but RL issues took my focus. Howeve,for some random reason I bought FYE in the beginning of last year, and started to really listen to it in the spring time. WOW! FTF! So I started to seach more music from him, and DAMM, no more albums made? WUT, WUT, WUT? OK, Youtube it was. I found his performaces, but also the interviews.
His live-performaces took my breath away. The way he had "re-created" himself was amazing. His style was exactly what I loved. He turned out to be obviously intelligent. His life philosofy was unik and resonated strongly in me. And his capability to free and empower his fans is something, that I am still trying to figure out. How does he do that? Why does he make us feel so much better and happier?
But more than anything he became the VOICE to me. Lifting me on the air, freeing me from physical form while listening him, and then after that, gently putting me back but somehow with less load of life on my shoulders. CLICK!
Soon after that I found all you!
And so I was lost, deep, deep in the rabbithole, and if I am lucky, I will never see the daylight again.
Your story sounds so familiar -- it seemed the music was gone in my life too; then, out of nowhere, Adam! Yay!
and IMO it is their business when they put out new music.
