....hmm...this is an Adam fan board ....  This will never not be jaw-droppingly gorgeous!!! Here's a weird little article about new Sony Music CEO Doug Morris (Adam's new boss), who admitted back in 2007 that he (like about every other music executive) was blindsided by the technology revolution in the industry. www.techdirt.com/articles/20110304/01540513361/sony-music-hires-ceo-who-has-admitted-he-doesnt-know-how-to-run-modern-record-label.shtmlMorris says, he was clueless, so clueless in fact, he didn't even know enough about the situation to hire the right people to fix it. "There's no one in the record company that's a technologist," Morris explains. "That's a misconception writers make all the time, that the record industry missed this. They didn't. They just didn't know what to do. It's like if you were suddenly asked to operate on your dog to remove his kidney. What would you do?" The writer (it's a tech blog) takes a sneering look at OMG! How dare he admit he didn't know what was going on and yet he still didn't lose his job and he's been promoted.  And the commenters (seemingly male tech types) also view this a deadly sin. Now, it may be me, but I would prefer someone who willingly admit they did not know the answer to a problem and then learned and studied and found that answer as opposed to an egotistical ass who covered up the fact that he didn't know (I mean, he stated no one in the industry saw the extent of the digital revolution coming) with monumental hubris to make no progression whatsoever. The whole tone of this piece really annoys me; it's like saying, "You can never be wrong about anything and if you are, you should never admit it and/or ever work again." Give me a break, buddy. That's how we end up with corporations that rape the system and incompetents that get rewarded because they BS their way through everything. I'm glad Morris had the balls to say, "Yeah, I didn't know. If I said I did, I'd be lying through my teeth." It seems to me the writer would prefer the latter. |

My Aftermath picture from Toronto....just because.  Beautiful, boy you were close (or just have a great camera ?) Both  just don't ask how much I paid for those seats (or my front rows for the idol tour). I like to think I regained my sanity and paid for regular priced seats for Providence and Cape Cod, but that involved travel, so the jury is still out  |

Oh, you really didn't go there, did you, wonderstruck???? Them's fightin' words. If you love classic rock, Adam is one of the best at it, from what rockers say. But, if you are into musical theater, then NO ONE I have ever heard sings Come to Me, Bend to Me as beautifully as Adam does. Hands down. The definition of a sweet, sweet, sweet spot. And if you like a kinda bluesy jazz, his rendition of Feelin' Good is off the chain. That is one of the most amazing things about Adam. His ability to sound sooooo good and authentic in so many genres. Haven't heard true opera or classical singing yet, but I am confident that is also in his bag of tricks. I'd like to hear Adam get funky. I'd like to hear Adam sing opera. I'd like to hear more pop/dance/ I'd like more angsty songs from Adam. I'd like Adam to croon sweet love songs. I don't want metal, but hey..... : I am compelled to respond..... Led Zeppelin as in WLL is heavy metal -- Metalica as in Enter Sandman is thrash metal -- What is the problem with Adam doing metal? |
