Breaking News Alert The New York Times Wednesday, May 9, 2012 -- 3:10 PM EDT ----- Obama Tells ABC News Same-Sex Marriage Should Be Legal President Obama declared for the first time on Wednesday that he supports same-sex marriage, putting the moral power of his presidency behind a social issue that continues to divide the country. “At a certain point,” Mr. Obama said in an interview in the Cabinet Room at the White House with ABC’s Robin Roberts, “I’ve just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”The comments end years of public equivocating over the divisive social issue for the president, who has previously said he opposed gay marriage but repeatedly said he was “evolving” on the issue because of contact with friends and others who are gay. Read More: thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/09/obama-likely-to-speak-about-same-sex-marriage-in-interview/?emc=naThat's good but does it make any difference? Every voice in favor of same-sex marriage moves the issue closer to greater acceptance, and when one of the voices is that of the leader of the free world, it does matter. Twenty years ago it was considered rather radical to support civil unions. Now, in the U.S., a majority support gay marriage. It's a very slim majority, but the progress has been tremendous in just a few years, and President Obama's statement just pushes it forward another step. It's downright historic for a president to openly support marriage equality! |

Here is the EW article of Trespassing www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20594232,00.html MUSIC REVIEW Trespassing (2012) Adam Lambert B - Adam Lambert might be the only American Idol alum who considers purple eyeliner a daytime look. So it's hard to understand why it took him so long to make his big gay dance-club album. ( : WTF? ) Even after he came out in 2009, the eighth-season runner-up didn't stop flirting with the straight crowd, indulging in classic-rock guitars and gender-neutral pronouns on his debut, For Your Entertainment. But on Trespassing, he's left the closet far behind — defending gay marriage (''Outlaws of Love'') and celebrating what happens when two consenting adults love each other enough to share their safe words (''Chokehold''). He's also officially coming out as a superfan of funk, '80s-night house, and Studio 54 grooves, tapping Chic's Nile Rodgers to produce, along with Pharrell Williams and Dr. Luke. Thanks to these pop vets, Trespassing's first half is a study in fabulosity: ''Kickin' In'' is stripper-heel disco at its finest, and the rousing ''Shady'' plants its freak flag in the uncharted territory between Nine Inch Nails and Michael Jackson. Too bad the ballad-heavy second half is so laughably over-the-top By the end, our hero is wailing about fallen Towers of Babel and ripping away his flesh and bone to a ''red river of screams.'' Cheer up, Glammy. It's nothing a little makeup remover can't fix. B- Best Tracks: Scissor Sisters-inspired Kickin' In : Industrial Pounder Shady : She is loving the dance part, she's mocking the dark part. WUT? OK then. ETA I brought it all over if you don't want to give them hits. |

OK, I have just found and read EW review. IT IS SO DEEPLY INSULTING, ON SO MANY LEVELS, I'm shocked. How dare they.
I won't elaborate any further, I don't want to spread this garbage around. Who wants the link, PM me.

This person has no depth and probably could not understand the meaning behind the words. Fucking idiot twice!!!! |

Someone asked about the comment on the DDD forum that the songs on Trespassing were pretty tame. What does that mean?
Well, consider the source. I don't mean this as a diss. The forum is called ""Rock Performers>Vocalists/Frontmen". That is their focus... rock, not pop, electronica and dance/club music. Their tastes lean strongly towards singers with that high rock wail. Steve Perry, Chris Cornell, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Roger Daltry,etc. They like the "balls-to-the-wall" vocals. Adam's vocals on much of Trespassing, while impressive, are not hard rock. He does less wailing and stratospheric high notes. Therefore, "tame" by a rocker's perspective.
Generally, these guys have great respect for what Adam can do, for his technical skills, but, when he veers from his "rock roots" they lose interest. Note, they said most of the TRACKS are tame. And that was a comment by just two people. I think many of the guys who used to post have been run off by what they see as the takeover of the thread by Adam's fangirls. Don't know that there is much analytical or critical content on the thread these days.
