People that don't like people for simply being gay are ridiculous and ignorant and shouldn't be seen as the norm. We all have friends and family members from different backgrounds and with different lifestyles. What is the big deal that is how it should be.

I was reacting to your "I don't see how anybody..." statement, and what you said earlier to Bootstar. YMMV and all that. But I don't think there was anything "sinister" about it. I appreciate your defending me over there. Thanks. :).

It's just an inherent feature of the social dynamics of fan sites.</blockquote> It depends, actually. Some fansites are very groupthink, kumbaya and sweet about everything. There is a Stepford feel. The flipside tends to be the snarky, opinionated and argumentative type. I've participated in plenty of fansites, and the Adam fansites I went to tend to fall in the latter and snark a fair bit (for now). A lot of people were ragging on "Want" before it became clear what it was. It could change though. Probably not a place you want to go if you dislike Adam, either way though, and there is always the crazy factor, as most fanbases have. I was quite a huge Radiohead fan and man, they had one crazy, mean fanbase. Then I participated in a "aww, hugs" one and that was pretty freaky. I prefer mean and crazy. <blockquote>Thanks for that summary! At least they got albums out. Pity about Melinda - why no promo at all???</blockquote> Well, she is on this interesting label... It's really a shame about Melinda. She was very good, in my opinion.

Good questions and love the new tidbits. So cool that he talked about playing the drums, bass, and piano some, and developing new sounds for the next record! I feel like I now have to check out the Crash Kings, cuz edgy piano-based rock sounds pretty good... Heh, of course, there were also some requisite awkward/endearing moments about the arm porn thread, etc. Thanks for the FUSE interview! Good questions and love the new tidbits.

I like the curtain idea, but if he is going to do it, he needs to stand still for effect.

And I can't believe I'm saying this but I do agree with <em>one</em> thing in that review - I don't like David's new opening with the shadow looming from behind the curtain. I've seen a few different vids of it and each time he fidgets and waves to the crowd. Aww Davey! He's so sweet but it kind of messes with the effect, you know? Someone should say something to him but my guess is he feels weird about it, the way he is fidgeting. I do love the heartbeat sound effects though. Perfect for David whose speciality is the heart connection. IMO they should keep the heartbeats but ditch the shadow - just have the curtain fall and him walk out. And I think MJ has been very fair to David A especially recently. I like posting here because I can be truthful and not have to worry about people jumping all over my opinions. Thanks, MJ! :smile1_tb: I love, love, love little David A.

This one looks that way, given the cover. But when you go down to the info, you see the stuff I quoted. It's deceptive.
