@nilerodgers: @tattoojo I was going to write @adamlambert for advice. 72 hours of not talking is impossible. I've had to reset my silence clock 3 times.

Photophobia - sensitivity to light. From the linked article
Simply avoiding prolonged time spent in harsh lighting or bright lights or wearing UV-blocking sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats when outside should alleviate symptoms associated with light sensitivity.
As a person with light eyes I can attest that I wear sunglasses even when it is overcast because I am better able to focus with the added protection.
I have dark eyes but still wear sunglasses all the time outside because UV light can get through even a layer of clouds and there is evidence that protecting the eyes from UV rays can lessen the chances of getting macular degeneration later in life. My mother has that horrible disease and is so frustrated at not being able to read anymore or see faces clearly. Whatever I can do to avoid that, I'm doing. It's even more important for people with lighter eyes like Adam's. I wear clear sunglasses which filters out the harmful UV rays, but allows my pupils to dilate and contract according to light conditions so they are exercised, and good circulation is maintained in the eyes.

Old dude goes to a QAL concert, but really wanted a ride on a time machine.Devilution THE MEAT OF SPARINGLY AND GRAVY FOR LUKEWARMHenrik Kjellerup Bro February 16, 2015 It was a visually rich menu that was created and served for a sold-out and expectant Boxen in Herning, as Queen and Adam Lambert invited in on Sunday. Unfortunately lived taste is not quite up to the visual impression. Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, who represents the remains of Queen after Freddie Mercury's death in 1991 and bassist John Deacon's withdrawal from showbiz in 1995, has once again dragged the institution Queen out on the road. This time with the former wingman in the American Idol competition Adam Lambert. Lack of charisma One can argue long and long for that Lambert fits better in Queen universe than Paul Rodgers, who toured with the band in 2005 to 2008. But it is hard to argue that Lambert is a better - or just a remotely as good - rock singer Paul Rodgers. It was also in the more pop songs like 'Somebody to Love', 'Another One Bites the Dust', 'Radio Ga Ga 'and especially' Save Me 'that Lambert worked best. By contrast, it is not well in the harder Queen songs that the band especially in its first year brought to the world. 'Stone Cold' and 'I Want it All' went fairly well, but 'Seven Seas of Rhye' and 'Tie Your Mother Down' was decidedly ugly. Meanwhile, Adam Lambert does not have the charisma, as Freddie Mercury possessed: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgSwdZ4ZkM8Completely mad was a overteatralsk version of 'Killer Queen'. The song was badly sung and Lamberts crawling around on a purple couch was more clumsy than kitschQueen + Adam Lambert KILLER QUEEN Detroit (Auburn Hills)RequestAdamLambert www.youtube.com/watch?v=Woo2mfK_7mQFreddie Mercury was never afraid to expose himself and his enormous ego in the most theatrical - and yes, kitschy - way, but it was always in the most arrogant and caricatured way that it gave a refreshingly ironic distance. The same Lambert fails in any way. He appears in it all as an X Factor / American Idol version of Freddie Mercury without making an independent interpretation of or added nuances to his inspiration. For a little show setup for the current tour is great. But it is surprising that, with the flamboyant Lambert in the foreground has not done more to produce an actual show, rather than appear as a rock band on tour. True, there was a bed in the 'Killer Queen', but that it was dragged on stage by two roadies instead of getting up from the floor or from the ceiling was certainly not in the spirit of Freddie Mercury. Queen is no longer a band. It's Brian May and Roger Taylor with a singer and some guest musicians. Good enough is Spike Edney (who was also touring musician with Queen in the old days) on keyboards, Neil Fairclough on bass and Roger Taylor's son Rufus Tiger Taylor on percussion and drums. But they appear not as a part of the band. They remain mostly in the shade, and it is only occasionally that they can be seen on the three big screens flanking the stage. The cameras are almost exclusively focused on May, Taylor and Lambert, and although sometimes seems a little grave robbery when Freddie Mercury appears in duet with Brian May in an otherwise quite beautiful version of 'Love of My Life' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' . But it would be natural to let the show be a little more show marked and possibly. the nature of a theatrical concert where you could involve more cabaret-like songs like 'Bring Back That Leroy Brown', ('Sheer Heart Attack'), 'Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon' or 'Seaside Rendezvous' (' A Night at the Opera ') or' Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy '(' A Day at the Races'). Småkedeligt song choice On the whole, the song selection on the tour too boring and traditional. The choice is clearly focused on delivering hits, and the set list is almost identical to that (when frases songs recorded with Paul Rogders at 'The Cosmos Rocks'), which you toured with in the period 2005 to 2008. In between this, it must be admitted star parade of songs, is there going to be a completely unnecessary amount of solo input of the various musicians. It is possible that it is associated with Adam Lambert's need to repeatedly switch the leather outfit, but it is nevertheless enervating. A long bass solo followed by drum solo followed by a "drum battle" between Roger Taylor and sønnemand is just not very interesting when the level is no more spectacular than was the case in the box. A guitar solo from the otherwise still excellent playing Brian May was a bit more encouraging, but should be the map down to much less than half. Then when you do not want to play more whimsical songs and not have the courage to plunge into the hard and progressive songs from Queens first 4:00 to 5:00 album, so you could then at least cut down on solopjattet and instead play hits like 'Bicycle Race', 'Do not Stop Me Now' or 'The Show Must go On'. There was certainly fine sequences, good rates and many fine songs for the concert with Queen + Lambert in Herning. But the big concert experience was unfortunately not. It should be emphasized that the audience in the sold out Boxen seemed thrilled. What an odd review. Well it is really not a review because if is posted on his own website but I read it thinking it was a review. Then I wrote this first bit. They I decided to find out who wrote this and for what publication. On one hand he wants flying sofas coming from the sky so a Cher concert. On the other hand he likes Bri's guitar solo but wants it cut in half. On the other hand he want them to have a more interest setlist and not just play the hits. On the other hand he wants them to play hits like 'Bicycle Race', 'Do not Stop Me Now' or 'The Show Must go On'. I count 4 hands! He must be from Mars because he is the only reviewer who wrote Adam sang KQ badly. Some may think it is too gay, but sang it badly? WTF? Not an independent interpretation? Seriously? And the one that confounds me the most is this bit, "But it is surprising that, with the flamboyant Lambert in the foreground has not done more to produce an actual show, rather than appear as a rock band on tour." Well isn't Queen supposed to be "a rock band on tour"? I really don't mind bad reviews. Queen has gotten more than their share of those. But an incomprehensible mish-mash of nonsense is all I see here. *** So who is the music expert?

Adam just liked on Instagram a pretty pic of Ke$ha, a saying from TheFatJewish and a pic of Drake LeBry's artwork from 2009 he just posted.
