I don't see any comments yet about the Towleroad article adamme posted about the young lesbian couple in Texas who were both shot in the head, with one already dead. Yes, this is very sad and sickening. Yes, gay people have made great strides, but in the last two years I think there has been a definite increase in hate crimes and hate speech against gay men and women. I think a lot of it has to do with the economy. Gays, like all minorities, become a target when times are bad. But I think a lot of the hate has risen out of the right wing politics. In North Carolina alone several evangelical leaders have proposed concentration camps and/or death sentences for gays. I honestly can't remember a time when there has been so much hatred shown against gay men and women. How does this affect Adam? I think it is clear that Adam has to somehow function in an America where the voices of hate have increased. An example of this is that Lyndsey Parker's Yahoo music column no longer allows for the posting of comments to anything she writes about Adam due to vicious, vile and violent remarks (calling for Adam's castration, etc) that began to appear in the last year. Remarks of this extreme nature, as far as I know, were not there during Idol, and during the launch of FYE. But they were there as the new era began. I know, what a terrible thing. What pathetic kind of human would shoot 2 girls who never did them any harm? I do think there is a lot of anger and general discontent when times are hard, and a lot of it gets heaped on people who are agents of change. Sometimes I worry about Adam being a target because he is so visible. Yahoo articles have always had disgusting comments. |

I was at Alice's Summerthing!
All I can say is San Francisco is the most beautiful place on Earth; Golden Gate Park is Golden. Adam was a spectacular jewel and the place was so packed I couldn't leave even to find a loo from 9:30 till 4:30!
I marvel that I was able to see Adam Fucking Lambert for free on Sunday; and tomorrow night I leave for Russia; beginning an odyssey that has every credit card company in mailing distance glad for my passion!
Of course I can explain it. Any Adamtopian can explain it. If you can find a way to be there, you find a way. If you can't, you thrill in the recaps. In turn, we all find a way to connect.
Well, it's way late and I'm way too giddy to make much sense.
I'll just say that "Hot Love" was on fire! Just wait till he's memorized the words!
Sound sucked. I'm not sure Adam did a sound check. The other acts did - and none seemed to have any issues.
I feel Adam's head is feeling the Queen; its crown.
He walks on stage and owns the world.
If you want to believe in anything, believe in that.

One thing. How often can we text Z100 when NCOE is not on their playlist?

Remarks of this extreme nature, as far as I know, were not there during Idol, and during the launch of FYE. But they were there as the new era began. Lyndsey's articles have always had a lot of vile comments ... I reported them to Yahoo on several occasions, and also tweeted to Lindsey several times that allowing those comments was a poor reflection on her column, she should have the comments moderated. I was essentially ignored and finally quit going to her site. Although I was glad to see that they finally took some action, I wish they had chosen to moderate the comments rather than eliminate them ... positive comments are a good thing, and now they are gone too ...  |

So back during the Glam Nation tour Adam played a wonderful concert venue here in Melbourne called The Palais Theatre. Capacity 3850 people. He was originally supposed to perform at a smaller venue but the promoters moved it to the larger venue because it sold out almost instantly at the original one. He went on to sell out the Palais - something that many acts don't manage to do (including some pretty big name acts in US). Well you can add a new name to the list of artists who can't sell out a show at Palais: Carrie Underwood. She is playing there tonight and I have it on good authority (husband runs security for venue) that she has only sold 2000 seats. :  ;D |
