Interesting take on rock 'n' roll: JanusAquarius JanusAquarius RT ThatEricAlper: Bob Geldof thinks that rock 'n' roll, which he called "America's great cultural gift to the world,"... tl.gd/9bj8rlVery interesting, and I mostly agree, I loved this: "The music I hear is continental navel-gazing. Don't do it. Look up. Address the world with that confidence that is strictly the province of this country. Don't turn inward. Don't be scared of the future. Look at it cold-eyed and try to create a new world, with your values." I have many thinky thoughts about pop music's embrace of the worst excesses of consumer culture, and hipster indie music's embrace of the personal and ephemeral as opposed to the political in a lot of cases (it's kinda why a lot of indy bands never caught my interest). What does it have to do w/ Adam's music? As we've already noted, whether he wants it or not his personal experience is politicized just because of who he is. I'm really curious as to what the songs he himself writes on his new album will be about. Love songs/relationships are a given, but will he reflect on his experiences with fame? With the music industry? With the peanut gallery of bloggers and journalists? With fans and paps? We know he is diplomatic, but he's also honest to a fault. I really look forward to hearing his take on his world in song. |

Yesterday, there was a comment about the RS review that they didn't like Bowie or Freddie back in the 70s/80s either. Just saw this on twitter had was cracking up as I read it! flynnsgirl: Anyone concerned over the Rolling Stone review for Adam, this is what they said about Queen in 1979 tinyurl.com/46yw8wpThis is funny because I posted the link to this very article at MJs earlier to try to counteract the "concern". RS missed the boat pretty often in the past. I wonder if they ever admit (to themselves anyway) that they were WRONG. My dvd is in my hot little hands! Not news - cause most of you have yours too - but it's damn important to me! :D |

Of course that's assuming it's not all DTRH....hee hee. |

I've often wondered how messed up my priorities are in relation to Adam. Today I found out.
I met with some friends to listen to a little music and have a bite of lunch. While we were doing that, a plane crashed into the water 100 yards from us - just a little banner plane. The pilot got out, 15 or 20 men waded into the waves and dragged the plane to shore. People were running from all directions, police, fire, ambulances showed up and in an hour or so, things had calmed down. The pilot was not hurt.
I went home.
When I got home, my DVD was at the front door and I promptly watched it, clapping at the thought that strangers would get to see Adam in all his glory. I was so excited.
About 20 minutes ago a friend called and excitedly asked, "Are you okay?" My immediate answer was, "OMG, I am but I can't believe how fabulous he is."
Needless to say, she had heard on the radio at work about the plane crash, soon after it happened, and when they gave the general area, it encompassed the location of my house."
I had forgotten all about THAT event in the excitement of Adam.
Only here can I relate that story and expect some sort of understanding.

I've been disciplining myself to not watch until I get my DVD. It's hard to be firm, but I want my first experience to be on a big screen with good speakers. Does anyone know if the orders that are arriving this week count in the debut week numbers or are they too early.
