What an interesting day. Adam defies pigeon-holing because he makes you feel he is capable of anything and everything.
Because Adam is so talented and charismatic, there is an high opportunity cost to every choice he makes. (Opportunity cost is the sacrifice involved in choosing one thing over another thing. Example: Suppose you can go on one vacation a year, the mountains or the beach. If you choose the mountains, the beach is your opportunity cost.) What Cassie has identified is an opportunity cost.
I also prefer other types of music to contemporary pop; Adam is the outlier in my music collection. He is also my favorite artist in 30 years, because of how he sings but mostly because of who he is and what he means to me.
Nevertheless, Trespassing has what I love in music, celebration and heartbreak -- wrapped in tight pop packages. All resonate with an ardor that borders on spiritual. Even the least song on the album is better than anything Adam has recorded before. (JMO obviously).
The long-term opportunity cost is, in my opinion, probably rather small, because in all likelihood Adam has a very long career ahead of him. We are only at the very beginning of what he can and will do.
Politics .... The United States is in the midst of a cultural, technological, and social revolution that is little acknowledged by either party. There is a significant portion of the electorate that would like to get in a time machine and not have to face it. This is actually rather easy to understand. In one aspect of life or another, I think most of us have felt that way from time to time about something.
Since it's not going to work, these people are by definition on the losing side of history. Just as my old funky college town has been bulldozed away, yet I still have a happy life here ... history shows that most people will come around and a few will be left behind. Did you guys see that the federal government ruled just yesterday to extend Equal Employment Opportunity laws to transgendered people?
I also saw many gay people at the Glam Nation concert I attended, in OKC, including a bunch of drag queens. Adam has more supporters than he may know.
And ... I love the Fault magazine pictures. That suit is yummy.
I hope all of you had a GREAT DAY too! 
Let's celebrate the music together!
