I'm busy here at work but just wanted to pop in for a minute. But I do have to go against the flow here on Bob Dylan. To this day when I hear his old recordings (when you could understand every word) it takes me back to an amazing time in history. I was a teenager, but still felt that a major change was happening. People were questioning everything, not the least of which was Viet Nam, but also the dominance of the white male. Women, Blacks, Hispanics and gay folks were all speaking up and being heard. His music spoke to what people were feeling and believe me, the feelings were intense and kind of scary. But it felt good to be part of something that just might make a difference.....and it did make a difference. So yeah, it wasn't what we played when we wanted to dance, or when we fell in love and no one was saying wow, he sings 4 octaves, it was much different than that. Apparently it doesn't translate to later generations but I hear those songs and I transport back to a time and a place of youth and hope and change.  Marching against Prop. H8 brought back a lot of those feelings, too.  Yes. That's exactly what Bob Dylan's music does to me, too. Takes me straight back to my hippie protesting days and the intense feelings of "a change is gonna come." Amen, sistah. |

I'm busy here at work but just wanted to pop in for a minute. I met Mayumi (visiting So Cal from Atlanta area) and SusieFierce for dinner last night. What fun, interesting and accomplished woman. Enjoyed our visit very much and we were never at a loss for words, that's for sure. I have to say, from my experience, Adam has attracted the brightest and the best (along with the few whackos - see "fan" vid above"). Next time, hope we can get more local folks to join in.

H8 brought back a lot of those feelings, too. Yeah, well, I was at Kent State during 2 of those years, so have very mixed emotions. My husband was on football scholarship, but in off season was a cop. Because everyone knew him, got lots of scary phone calls middle of the night. I'm not one of the "end justifies the means" people. And it was weird time for music, one night we'd have Robert Goulet appearing, next night it would be Jimi Hendrix. Oh, and about Dylan, I appreciated him more as a lyricist than a performer. By the way, boycotted anything James Michener (and I was an English teacher) for 21 years because of his bullshit book on Kent. Taking a clue from Adam and venting, which makes him sound cute and smart and me sound like a psycho.... if the shoe fits! |

BB is pissed and fighting! I love him in his HBIC mood! Maybe not. How many times have we seen him finally speak up about the behavior directed at friends and family, after ignoring some BS that was directed at him? He is fiercely protective of the people he cares about. |

And I can say with all honesty cuz I know savvy that she is most definitely psycho...but in an awesome way!  You crack me up! |

adamlambert Adam Lambert My new mission is to keep it as real as possible at all times. No more pageant-style p.c. smile and wave, smoke blowin, fake BS. #Realness LOL... I wonder what this really means? I've never thought of Adam as "not real." I've never ever thought of him in terms of "pageant-style p.c. smile and wave, smoke blowin, fake BS." More than any other entertainer I've known, he's always seemed so open and honest about everything. hmmmm.....   Anyhow, I love me a man with a mission. UNF. |
