It is so interesting what he is asking fans to listen to. I see music producer in his future. Crazy maybe. |

What he really does with all his music recommendations is that he paints a much larger picture of the music scene than the extremely narrow current top 40 one, among other things. By doing that, he shows others the immensity of that world and his own awareness and appreciation of it (and that wishing to reach top 40 and feeling like a part of that greater world is not mutually exclusive) with so many artists who do have something to say and show, and do it beautifully, and whose music will always be here no matter how many ears they reach. Also, he shows his own belonging to it, which is weird to say because it seems redundant but really isn't, since some of the artists out there seem terribly autistic. I think it's another difficult balance he has managed to achieve, never hiding his desire for commercial success, but never getting mistaken for a money driven label puppet, minding only his own business. And he is so frank in his taste, he recommends only what he truly likes, I can't remember him ever doing it out of benefit or obligation. He feels like a true member and lover of the guild:)

Slightly OT - For general interest regarding Queen's newly released album!! BB20066 0 New 1 Live At Rainbow '74 - Sold Out, Queen 66 In addition just to follow up on the U2 situation, 47 Re-Entry 107 The Joshua Tree - U2 - Island/Interscope | UMe 52 Re-Entry 46 U218: Singles - U2 - Island/Interscope | IGA 78 Re-Entry 101 Achtung Baby - U2 - Island/Interscope | UMe 142 Re-Entry 132 The Unforgettable Fire - U2 - Island/Interscope | UMe 172 Re-Entry 39 Rattle And Hum (Soundtrack) - U2 - Island/Interscope | UMe 181 New 1 War - U2 - Island | UMe 5 out of these 6 were in the top 50 of the Catalog Albums chart. I haven't found numbers but had seen a report earlier in the week that stated Joshua Tree and U218 Singles sold between 6-7 thousand. They were #2 & #3 on the catalog chart. Apple reports that approximately 38 million people have listened to the new U2 album whether by downloading or streaming through itunes or Beats music. Not bad exposure. |

Thank you for the information on cheap flights to Europe!
I'll be referring to your post in the months to come.
What can I say? Will I be going to Europe and the UK to see Adam & Queen??? It's not so much a decision as it's a compulsion. Since every DNA thread in my body knows I must be there, it's not a matter of 'will I?' but instead 'how will I?'
I may fly on that glittery plane, or find a seat on LindaG23's hippie bus . . . but I will find a way. So, I'll just leave it at that, and it's all good . . . because when I lay my weary body down tonight, I'll know that, once again, and maybe for the last time, Queen & Adam will shine somewhere in my future.
As for all the speculation about A3, what this means for A3, how this will impact the next single, will the album be delayed, will the release of A3 pfffft out like Trespassing (possibly due to touring with Queen instead of staying stateside and promoting), will this make Adam's new moniker 'Queen's frontman' . . . .
I think this way. If any friend out there came to me and said "I'm doing this amazing thing! . . ." and then told me about it; I wouldn't second-guess the decision at all; I'd offer my congrats and support and wish them well. I wouldn't dive in to offer advice because it's not requested of me. I wouldn't dive in and question how it would impact their life because it's THEIR life, not mine. So why do we do this with Adam? This man we don't know? This grown man? Who has a legion of family and friends who will come to bat for him in a nanosecond?
Maybe it's because Adam really is a stranger to us. We can speculate until the cows come home; it's cathartic, it's thoughtful speculation, it's a way of communicating to one another, letting it all hang out, and it's actually fun - most of the time! It's the 'fun' part I'm getting to, in my roundabout way. I want to be reminded why I'm here. Good Lord, on a fan site. My one and only. Why? I'm not following an artist who will fade into the wallpaper if his next creative endeavor tanks. Five years ago I told my family that Adam would one day be known as the greatest artist/vocalist in my lifetime. This was my reasoning as they collectively wondered why I fell off the deep end (although I would argue I spend an inordinate amount of time in the shallow end). Adam is creating his history - all he needed was a moment. AFL looked to the Universe (at Burning Man! Yes!) and knew what he needed to do. He is sealing his fate as I write. He will be epic, iconic, legendary, historic . . . all those words, used to label others far too often. I'm a silly Indigo child who never believed in horoscopes or spirits or mantras or muses. Or in Indigo children. Until 2009.
Adam's journey is not as easy as steps forward and steps back. It's a voyage off the edge of the earth; an explorer who sets out wondering what lies beyond the edge; ready to take the leap into a naked void. Shaggy and staggered; dangerous, sharp, murky, stinky, salacious, delicious, despicable. Ready to embrace the void; create within the unknown. Ah - create the unknown.
I'm so over crisp, white sheets. Be clean when we meet; be messy and real when we talk.
I'm all for wherever he goes; after all, I'm only tagging along to his dream. If he took my advice it might become my dream - and I've already enough in my pockets to call upon.
I'll just be amazed by the brilliance of it all. The voice; the intelligence; the looks; the sex; the fashion; the wit; the honesty; the imagination; the independence; the strength; the humor; the empathy.

Asia too?  TERRA retweeted BeritaSatu.com @beritasatu 55m Queen dan Adam Lambert Bakal Tampil di Jakarta Tahun Depan brt.st/4ezo"Pihak Queen sudah mengonfirmasi bersedia tampil di Jakarta. Diperkirakan pada 10 Oktober 2015," ujar Chocky pada jumpa pers di Jakarta, Jumat (19/9). google translate: " The Queen has been confirmed is willing to perform in Jakarta . Estimated on October 10, 2015 , " Chocky said at a press conference in Jakarta , Friday ( 19/9 ) .
oHH WOWOWOW.. They've always bypassed Jakarta for huge things like this.. the closest they came to was Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and then jumped over to Australia. On his World tour the closest countries MJ visited were Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Bangkok then Australia. Though Jakarta's big on Jazz music, coz have a lot of huge Jazz musicians. Has been hosting world wide Jazz festivals a lot where all the Jazz superstars came to play. Sure Queen has a lot of fans in Indonesia, but I wonder if this also has something to do with Adam.
