Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
I play 6 different music instruments. You do not want to hear me sing!![]()
Debb I did see that show and I never laughed so hard. I have not seen a show where Adam laughed as hard as he did on that one. Adam just headlined at Six Flags in my area last night where there were about 5,000 in attendence. Javier and Jermaine from The Voice were there as well. I could not go myself, but my girlfriend did and she said it was packed with lots of young people along with the regular Glamberts. His management seems to want to get the young people on board and it looks like they have been very successful. She said the majority were between the ages of 13 - 20. Even though I could not go I was able to watch the Live Stream. It was wonderful and I absolutely love his new album Trespassing. I have a new favorite every day. He also performed If I Had You and the crowd was singing along with him. Adam looked so happy and relaxed and for the first time that I have seen he performed in long shorts - it was extremely hot here yesterday and even at 7:00 p.m. was still 85 degrees and humid.
So nice to see that other people loved him as much as I did on S8. I was crushed when he did not win. I am sure Kris is a wonderful guy, but Adam will always be the winner in my heart.![]()
If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. - St. Francis of Assisi
Even though Adam had the #1 album last week, he still sold fewer than 78,000 units, so evidently not to many are buying his stuff either. Expect a long long road to any sort of Certifications. It is just a tough tough market for albums these days, singles have retaken the lead. We have gone back to the future.
