Just wanted to add about Adam selling out venues, in the E! True Hollywood, Randy Jackson said that the reason for it because people really want to see him. I think he is right.

It won't even play for me. :-[ ETA: Great touring acts with "no" radio -- I nominate Fish and The Grateful Dead along with Dave Mathews. But other great touring acts include the Stones, Madonna, BEPs, U2 and on. I think Adam will be on that list as one of the great live acts.[/color] Awwwwwww music to my ears!!!!!!!!  |

I really didn't even consider missing it (well... maybe for about 1/2 a second!). I feel bad that I only get to 1 per year. My father goes to the other 2, so he does have family there. Sadly, I really dislike listening to these concerts - there are always kids that are off the beat, wrong notes, squeeks and such. I LOVE that these kids are learning and there isn't any way to get better other than to keep playing. I have HUGE respect for the music teachers - they are far better people than I!! No way I would ever have the patience they do There is one plus side to having to watch Idol on DVR - I get to fastforward through all the Not-Adam parts! Silver-lining :D You brought a smile of nostalgia to my lips. I played violin as well as piano growing up, and I know how excruciating it can sound to hear youngsters perform as they are just learning. My parents went to recitals and concerts for not only me, but my three siblings growing up, and I don't know how they managed without ear plugs. That is true loving dedication. The last concert in high school I had a solo in one of the orchestra pieces. For some work-related reason, my dad did not attend. I understood at the time, and did not feel slighted by it. I knew that listening to a high school orchestra squeak thru the classics was unpleasant for a music lover like him. However, well into my adulthood, my dad confessed to me he still felt very bad to have missed it. He didn't realize that I had this huge solo or he would have moved heaven and earth to be there. My dad was the stoic, slightly distant, disciplinarian type of father in those days, and being in touch with the kids emotional needs and musical spirit seemed to be my mother's responsibility. Hearing his confession years later, and how he was haunted he had not been there for me just blew me out of the water. Even those many years later, I was deeply touched at his love and concern for me. Of course, as a good mom, supporting your son's love of music is an important priority of yours. Glad you are determined, despite your love for Adam, to be there for your kid! Good for you, mom. |

And my experience is that seeing him once just makes you 1. want to see him again, and 2. realize there is no substitute. JMHO YMMV but............ |

Just listened to the Asia interview in the 3 u-tube segments. What a great interview. So articulate as always and so humanized.
Adam needs to be around for our sanity.
Cute story: celebrated my birthday today with the kids. My daughter bought me a mug with 2 adam lambert pics on it. My sons says, when we are gone, she can kiss the cup and he demonstates. A huge, big, slobbery, loving, lingering kiss !!!!!!!!They both had a chuckle - but there's a lot of truth to it. Little do they know - I think they know, but not willing to acknowledge it.
