11.3.20 by Q3 A couple of months ago, I was truly worried that I would need to close the daily news threads for a while because it was so hard not to talk about the U.S. Presidential election. But I asked (a few time ) that we keep this a calm island in the big sea of {whatever} you call was going on in the USA. And, against all odds, you did it. I think it will be impossible to not talk about politics today. So, political discussions are OK today. No matter how things go today, please be respectful and kind. And please abide by all the ATop guidelines. It is OK if we disagree, as long as we are not disagreeable. ** Personally, this election is very strange to me, in a good way. I grew up in Delaware and have known the Bidens since I was 12. Now, Delaware is a small place and it was much smaller when I was young. And knowing Joe is not really unusual. It seemed like everyone knew him. I once read that Joe Biden had met everyone in Delaware. It is a small state and he ran for office a number of times. I am not sure it is true but he sure seems like he knows everyone, everywhere in Delaware. When I was growing up our families knew each other. Same church, schools, and University. My father was the State Treasurer and active in Delaware politics, and our families spent time together even though my father was a Republican and Joe Biden and all the Bidens were Democrats. I knew Joe before he ran for his first political office, New Castle County, Delaware. When he first ran for the Senate, no one took him seriously, but he won. After he won his first Senate election in 1973, I recall people talking about how he might be President someday. My immediate thought was, there is no way the Joe could become President. He seemed average, normal, I mean seriously he was a middle-class kid from Delaware. He was like everyone else I knew. Presidents don't come from Delaware. Although I write about how he seemed average, ordinary, there was always something that was not ordinary about the way he related to people and who he listens to people. And I swear he remembers everyone he has ever met. I had not seen him for 20+ years and saw him at an event a few years ago, and he recognized me instantly. I am still amazed. I don't know who will win, no one really does because this election is unique in many ways. But, if Joe wins, it will prove one more time that anything is possible. A disclosure: Joe was my #2 choice this time; my #1 is still Mayor Pete but his time will come. *** Ome day only! Politics discussion is OKRemember ATop Guidelines apply.

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee: Brian May up for Queen and Adam Lambert performance (EXCLUSIVE)
THE QUEEN's Platinum Jubilee is due to take place in 2022 and Brian May has exclusively told Express.co.uk that Queen and Adam Lambert would be up for performing.
By GEORGE SIMPSON Oct 31, 2020 Back in 2002, Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor took part in Party at the Palace to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee. The 50th anniversary celebration began with May playing God Save The Queen on his electric guitar, on top of Buckingham Palace’s roof. Later that evening, Queen performed Radio Ga Ga, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody, accompanied by the cast of the We Will Rock You musical. While later on in the evening May and Taylor joined the likes of Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Cliff Richard and Ozzy Osbourne for a rendition go All You Need Is Love. But having not taken part in the Diamond Jubilee concert in 2012, would Queen and Adam Lambert be up for performing at the upcoming Platinum Jubilee in 2022, marking 70 years of Elizabeth II on the throne? Express.co.uk asked May himself who replied: “Oh yeah, well that’s a thought. “If they invite us, yeah, I don’t see why not!” Link: www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1354229/Queen-Platinum-Jubilee-2022-Queen-and-Adam-Lambert-Brian-May-roof‘Hocus Pocus’ Reunion Brings Out Star-Studded Guests Including Mariah Carey And Glenn Close

http://instagr.am/p/CGtOsuXh3zJ Coming soon! Sam Sparro and Adam Lambert Are Part of the Rhythm Nation
(skipped intro before Adam mention) For Interview, Sparro called up his friend and frequent co-writer Adam Lambert to discuss making queer music and reminisce about one particularly wild Halloween party with Snoop Dogg and Miley Cyrus.
ADAM LAMBERT: Your last album was back in 2012, which I loved by the way. What happened between then and now? What kept you from releasing a new project?
SAM SPARRO: Thank you. Well, girl, it’s so funny because we’ve been friends for, god, I want to say almost 12 years?
LAMBERT: I know. You wrote a song with me on my first album, For Your Entertainment.
SPARRO: We go way fucking back. Do you remember when I was living in that loft?
LAMBERT: Yeah, I think I came to a party there once.
SPARRO: I was going through a total fucking personal crisis. I was like, smoking crack and drinking alone when I lived there.
LAMBERT: Shit. So, there’s that.
SPARRO: It feels really good to just be super honest and open about my life now. I just feel ready. Honestly, the time in between Return to Paradise, which is when I was trying to get myself together, and now—so much of that time was just about getting well.
LAMBERT: And now you’re sober, correct?
SPARRO: Seven years.
LAMBERT: That’s amazing, congratulations. After all that time getting sober and getting everything back together, what finally motivated you to get back in the studio for this project?
SPARRO: I’ve done some collabs and co-writes very selectively because I don’t like random people in my space. I finally—and I know you can relate to this—I felt like I stopped chasing a hit. I stopped chasing whatever was on the radio, or what I thought people wanted me to make. I just was like, “Fuck it, I’m going to make exactly what I want to make.” Which is a very nostalgic pop album celebrating my childhood. Life is too short. We just have to make what we love so we can stand next to, and be proud of it. I think people respond to that.
LAMBERT: At the end of the day, if you’re going to put yourself out there and put your name on something, it has to be something that you love. It can’t be something that’s plugged into some sort of commercial trend, that everyone says is the new thing, if it doesn’t work for you. It just doesn’t make any sense. I completely relate to you on that.
SPARRO: I mean, it’s nice when those two things line up.
LAMBERT: You have to play the game, to a point. I think having that artistic integrity is super important. It’s the only thing that we can really claim as ours. Hats off to you, I think that’s great. I was just listening to the album before this phone call. What I love about it is that it’s so specific. I hear your influences in it, I hear the time period that you’re honoring. It is fully nostalgic. My favorite kind of artistry is when you reference something and then put a twist on it. That’s you in there, I hear you.
SPARRO: I feel like this, more than any other project, is me not just as a songwriter and a singer, but really as a producer. I’m super proud of the production that I’ve done on this album. The vocal production, making that really modern and polished, does bring it into the contemporary landscape. I feel like Kanye West a little bit when people are like, “Well, what are you listening to?” And I’m like, “I’m listening to myself because my music is the shit.”
LAMBERT: I do the same thing. Absolutely.
SPARRO: You’ve really inspired me a lot over the years. I admire you so much. I’m so glad we’re friends and I’m so glad we work together. I’m just so proud of you and this record that you’ve made, as well. Because it’s the best stuff you’ve ever done.
