NoAngel
Perfect points! Thank you! :D
I'm stealing cattibrie's post because they express my thoughts too, so thank you cattibrie.
Thanks No Angel for writing about compromising. Life itself is all about compromises and deciding what is really important to you and what is less important. You have to make choices like that every day and then there are the big ones too, like where to live with your spouse, whether to leave ones loved ones behind and follow ones love to another continent or pass on a great relationship and stay. I believe selling out is when you choose something you don't really believe in or that you choose something only to please someone else. Usually the selling out decisions come and bite you in the end also.
I believer very strongly that Adam isn't selling out but he believes in those songs. I've seen only videos of him performing those but I think anyone can see how much he enjoys every minute of it. Also he's written most of the songs, so how could he not love them!?
And as a last comment I'd say that looking at it from this far we must trust his judgement as we can't really know what lies beneath his choices and decisions.
These are my Sunday morning thoughts from snowy Helsinki. The spring we had going on has taken one step back as it has snowed during the night. But still Adam (and Sauli) bring sunshine to me.
I would just like to add that IMO integrity is something very personal, at our core and trying to judge whether someone else is being 'true to themselves' is a very tenuous process, since we can never really know completely who the other person is at their core.
