3.13.13 Adam in Connecticut for 2 performances!!

Yeah, I asked this earlier. Didn't get an answer yet..but I wonder if anyone knew. Would be a good question to ask Adam?

"I'd be really curious to know why the pettiness toward Tommy and wonder how long it will be before Kevin pisses off the same people and they turn on him. Maybe a few fan fictions will do the trick. I'm of the opinion if you don't know what you are talking about and your opinion is hurtful to someone, keep it to yourself. #meangirls"

(Please forgive me for bringing this subject up again)

Kanadie ... from my perspective (a lot of Twitter) Tommy hasn't done anything to make people upset with him. The problem lies with quite a number of his waaaay OTT (crazy) 'fans.' They are alienating a lot of Adam fans and turning them against Tommy by what they are saying and doing. I believe it's why Tommy has tried to stay 'neutral/bored' and not interact with Adam. I feel really bad for him, I think he's probably a pretty sweet guy.

IIRC Nile calls that guitar the "Hitmaker." It's one he's had for many, many years and made many a hit on it. More good karma for Adam?

Kanadie I think you got the best of the name deal - Percy? Dude.

I have a general question re Hoppers interesting recap about songs, likeability and radio play. (And thank you ladies for the great recaps! Though I'm afraid those hugs actually involved retrieving DNA samples so Hoppers could engage in some illegal cloning. She did rush straight to the lab...) I'm still enjoying the promo vids - so nice to have daily doses of fresh Adam.

So - new songs from established hit makers get played based on the artists track records while NEW artists pick up spins based on feedback to stations -- but how is someone like Adam not in a catch 22 here? He's not at the automatic play level (Rihanna, Gaga) but the powers that be seem to feel that requests for his songs are not reliable indicators of song likeability because of his large, organized fan base. Is that an issue? If so, is Adam completely at the mercy of PD's subjective judgement re wether his singles are 'likeable' or not - unlike say Ellie Goulding (sp) or Young the Giant (whatever)?

Finally, humble kudos to Keyboard Thanks for your post. IMO, being straight-forward and frank about something where others are disingenuous is respectful. There was a thoughtful, no-agenda discussion of Kevin/Tommy comparative styles the other day. Last couple of days not so much. I really like all the band members and trust Adam's judgment and professionalism.)

(On an unrelated note, since my consumption is making sleep difficult, I've watched 'Game Change' and 'Smash' three times over last few days. That cannot be good.)
