I fail to see why Adamtopia - or indeed any media forum - is the proper place to make a stand. Frankly, as usual in these times when covid has made me work remotely, I was trying to do my job while watching the assault on Congress. I personally exchanged my views with others from my office. In a conversation, in real time, with give and take. Those conversations are my meaningful forums.

I’ve been totally glued to tv, fb, and twitter - I came over tonite to quickly check and see if/what Adam had tweeted, instagrammed - it is the fastest way for me to keep up with his social media. And I see he has shared a meme I have actually shared myself today. But, for me, the biggest concern is what else can he do in two weeks.

Adamtopia no longer stands for what Adam (and Queen) stand for. Today was a perfect example Adam, Brian, Roger, and the members of Queen's organization do not have the same political or social views. Similarly, Adamtopia does not have a political position. The one common value is respect and that is the course value of this forum.

But only in part. I think that what happens now is really not up to Adam or other celebrities and social media influencers. I think that it is time for politicians, particularly the U.S. Senators and the members of Congress who are supporting this for their own political gain. My consolation comes from the fact that I think that supporting the disenfranchisement of voters in any form (rioting insurrectionists or by keeping people from voting) will not help anyone become president in 2020 or 2024.

I've been lax in posting recently but I check in most days. Adam is increasingly political so some aspects are relevant. After living in US for 15 years I've been gone a decade but US is still my second home so I am sad and mad to see events today. I'm with Adam on how authorities responded and with Q3 that it is up to elected officials to take a stand.
Rat's life was fluffy fun. Looking forward to Starman performance. Would love Adam to take a leaf out of Hanson's playbook and start doing virtual concerts. I know he feeds on live audience energy but it would be such a treat to have a full set from him not just a random song here and there.

It would certainly be uplifting to me. I am looking forward to the Bowie evert.

(I didn’t mean what Adam would do, if that’s what you think I meant - I meant ...someone else.)
