I'm placing my bets on Universal Music Group. And that there is a contract-mandated transition period. I'm as impatient as the next person for new music, but as an attorney used to reading contracts which have time restrictions on changes for personnel - admittedly not in an entertainment setting - I think the rationale of WBR, and previously RCA, is that those prior record labels invested x much in the artist, and there is a period when the prior label can look to recoup that investment before the next label gets the rights to build on previous investments which produced fame, etc.
Does that make sense?

Fans are self entitled? What the artist does is not a fans business? Our responsibility is to buy and attend concerts? Fuck that! Entertainers are a business, they sell a product be it their music, their acting, their comedy routine, or whatever. Fans are the consumers, they are under no obligation nor are they required to ‘buy’ anything especially if the product that is being offered does not appeal to them. Agree with that...that's why most artists try so hard to keep fans engaged. That is not what I am saying. Artists have a product. And its the consumers obligation either to buy it. Theirs no obligation beyond that. Some fans think they are entitled to his whole life. I wasent saying anyone here

Totally OT, but I was just thinking about him the other day...anybody heard from Ghost at all? I'm not on twitter, so was wondering if anybody's heard from him.

I wasent saying anyone here I think Adam tries to keep us engaged. I think he keeps us engaged as well. But sometimes he will say something that he thinks is going to happen and it does not go as planned or something changes. Some of us are understanding but others try to hold him to a schedule that may not be completely in his control nor is he free to explain it. When he releases something, we have the option to buy and support or not. Nicki Minaj just released her album when her last one was 2014. Even tho her fans waited for her album for so long, it was still pushed back several months. She said she was still writing close to the release. It has had an impact on her US leg of the tour with not enough time for the tickets to sell, among other tour partner problems. They have changed the US schedule and pushed it way back. Stuff happens. Adam in not trying to deceive anyone. What would be the point of that? And he can't tell us everything that is happening or not happening. I really want things to go well for him and I am willing to be patient. It is hard. But that is pretty much all we can do.

Still deciding on the "curtains" lol. For me it's right up there with extensions he had when he wore the infamous poncho. Why would he have "curtains" when there are so many other styles that are more flattering on him? I know it's his hair.

Pretty fun for Adam to sit front row with people he's performed with, been on shows with etc. The only one in his section he hasn't done anything with is Howie right?
