2.22.11 Adam Gets Fired Up

BECAUSE we don't really know what effect these tedious challenges, etc. have on Adam's music and his career trajectory, is exactly the reason I personally choose to continue voting like a fiend and supporting him in any way possible. There may be advantages that aren't quite so obvious.

Think about this....how did we, as fans, get a reputation as such an asset to Adam. How many times have we heard "Adam, your fans are so incredible!!" How many times recently have we heard Adam say that if not for his fans, he may not have been making a second album.

I see this "reputation" coming from acknowledgement of an accumulation of so-called "fan activities". We rarely let Adam loose a voting challenge, we break websites in our fervor to support him, we can raise a million dollars for his charities, we sell out magazines when he's on the cover, we buy multiples copies of his albums, attend multiple concerts, etc. etc.

These isolated activities all add up to Adams fans being recognized as a somewhat powerful force, IMHO. So while not everything we do may result in increased radio play, I believe, in the long run, that these activities really matter a lot to Adam's success. While radio success is important, I think we are helping to show that Adam is an extremely valuable commodity, in a variety of different areas.

So I would encourage us all NOT to get discouraged, but to look at the bigger picture. IMO, all these seemingly small and insignificant victories for Adam add up over time to something more significant even if the "something" is often intangible.

Did that make ANY sense to anyone but me?????

I feel that we the ones left behind must stay strong and nobly man ATOP while everyone else is off crowd surfing in the UK and partying their heads off. We shall stay and whack the moles! And perhaps start a drinking game where we take a shot every time Adam says "Are you having fun?!" There better be a cell cast of this!
