Coincidence? It pretty much outlines how America is changing it's attitude about the legalization of marijuana and how many changes this administration has already made (towards de-criminalization) and how people on both sides of the aisle are on board with the changes (Why? reduction of violence, less dangerous than alcohol yet more available, overcrowding of prisons and lack of focus on rehabilitation, cash crop, etc.) I read the magazine in order and it really put Adam's statement in context (not that I cared about it anyway). Nose job? Nope. Watch Idolatry again. He looks a lot like his old photos in those videos. Plus, I have to add that my nose definitely thinned out and stopped taking over my face as I got older and lost that baby look -- hello cheekbones, normal nose, jaw line...and it took until college. Some of us aren't born gorgeous. ;) I received my Rolling Stone in the mail today and one of my favorite parts about it was that the article preceding Adam’s article was about the War on Drugs.

Since he starting singing at age 10, and the fact that he has had extensive training after age 10, he would have been told that any surgery on his nose would change his vocals. Billy Joel had his nose broken a couple of time before he became famous. He wanted to have surgery but was told he would change the way his voice sounded so he opted out. The same for Barbara Streisand. I really don’t think Adam had a nose job.

None of the stuff he said was particularly shocking to me, I hear things just as crude all day long in high school. Any parents who think they can shelter their children from bad language or crude sexual talk should spend a day in high school. As for his drug usage? Again, not shocking. Plenty of people experiment, and Adam's experiences sound pretty normal. Now just to be clear, I have not ever tried drugs nor have I had a drink in my life, but I still think Adam is a positive role model. He is so open and confident that its inspiring. I think everyone can relate to the feeling that they don't fit in, or that they're too different to ever feel normal or good about themselves. Adam is proof that anyone, even those who feel weird or different, can achieve success and eventually be comfortable with who they are.

I don't know. I think the nose in the high-school picture looks an awful lot like the current nose -- but maybe he just has more fat under his skin all over, which does tend to make your nose, too, look a bit more -- fluffy. I can't really see his nose in the kid picture. But I think if he had the job, he must have had it before his senior year in HS, which I kinda doubt... Re: Nostrilgate. I don’t know.

Between this thread and the other one, I haven't gone through all the overwhelming amount of comments concerning the article, but I wanted to put my two cents in ... Admittedly, I probably won't be buying Adam's album, but I really liked this article and the cover as well (it suits him). He's had an interesting life journey so far and he's honest and unfiltered about it. It's incredibly refreshing, and somewhat inspiring. This is who he is. People are going to take it or leave it, and that's totally okay with him. Being an artist is about self expression. If you can't be yourself, there's no point to it. Forgive me folks.

So that means if someone is a crappy singer, can play guitar and composes music should be taken seriously. Well, Celine, Streisand, Adam, and all you singers who have incredible voices should pack it is because you are not to be respected or relevant.

I really liked it. It's good to see that candid side of Adam, and I wasn't particularly shocked about any of it. Parts of him remind me so much of me (probably why I like him so much) - free spirit, very open, especially open about art and expression, etc. Though I must say I've yet to reach his level of being completely comfortable with everything about me. I love the summary on the first page about his natural "electricity" in person, infectiously sunny disposition, sense of humor. Those were always some of my favorite traits of his - the smile, the laugh. One of my biggest pet peeves is artists who take themselves too seriously, and I'm glad he never seems to do that. Life's too short to not just enjoy the ride - which it sounds like he's having a blast doing. Good for him! Finally got a chance to read the whole article. I really liked it.
