I am debating currently if it is safe to head out with a mask and join the local protest. In the meantime, we are sifting through local and nationwide organizations to figure out how we can best contribute toward fighting racism. Supporting local bailout programs for those who are wrongfully put in jail is a start.

Finally people who can see through all the BS and think for themselves. The protesters, even those who are peaceful and mean well, are giving cover to organizations that show up to infiltrate the peaceful protests and cause chaos in in effort to get black people worked into a frenzy. If you want to talk about police brutality, talk to the police unions that hide these incidents and protect bad cops.

Dearest Adam,you have the kindest heart! Please allow me to speak from a Mom's point of view for a minute. Helping and supporting from afar is just as genuine as being there in person. Your words and the help your foundation has given to the cause has a huge impact. Please don't put yourself and your future in jeopardy. You have protected yourself for almost 3 months and shouldn't be thrown away. Help and support comes in many forms. Thank you for always being there to help and support.

I'll admit I worry about him.

Well, ceecee and m45maia, I guess I will have to give you props because you must really love Adam's music to continue to support him, even though his political and especially moral positions are antithetical to yours. I have stopped supporting artists whose work I really enjoyed because I could not in good conscience continue. There are movies I will no longer watch and songs that I will no longer sing and I know I have lost some joy because of it but those losses have more than been made up for in increased serenity.

Very nice to see that interview with Adam again. He's been pretty quiet lately, but I'm excited to see him on June 15 Grammy Museum event along with the broadcast of TSMGO + Adam Lambert!
2020 is turning out to be one hell of a historic year in a million ways.
Nice to see Brian's new message. Mending from heart surgery takes time, and I hope he recovers well and is able to perform next year as planned. He seems tired, but that's understandable. We all know that QAL is not a forever thing, but it would be nice if, when it ends, that it ends voluntarily on the highest most celebratory note possible. Something tells me Dr. Brian will be playing the Red Special on their tour next year.

I admire Adam and he is a human with a great and kind heart. He is a fighter, but for a greater good. So many issues are disguised. We as humans on this planet at this time have a devil of a time finding truth. There is so much BS by powerful people.
My husband and I worked in Watts in 1970 (riots 68ish) --- I can say humanity of all colors are caring loving beings. All the garbage in print, TV, etc is false and serving some "power" situation. What is being sold is not the truth about us. "Group" identities are created in Hollywood. Movies, TV, print media are selling a dishonest view of us. I don't buy it.
Humanity is resillent, adaptible, kind and caring. You can knock us down but we will spring back up. Our endurance is remarkable. And we don't give up. Onward ......

m45maia - on this we agree, Adam does have a great heart. I try to look for the kindness in humanity but on some days it is easier than on others. Thank you for your response.
