Adam Lambert, why have you kidnapped revid's brain and common sense, and what have you done with them?
In typical network TV chickenshit fashion, ABC cancelled the not-to-be-trusted Adam Lambert from their NY Rockin' Eve hosted by Ryan Seacrest and the remarkably life-like shell of what used to be Dick Clark, because I dunno, he makes Ryan a little nervous that he'll kiss Adam or sumpin'. But once again, like a phoenix from the ashes, Adam rises, and comes out looking like he planned it this way all along.
He just got the headliner gig at the Gridlock LA NYE party, a humongous event held on the Paramount studio lot in Los Angeles annually, with multiple stages, fireworks, and all the alcohol you can drink with 5000 of your closest friends. I see the trade-off this way:
Downside: No national TV exposure
Upside: A full 40 minute set of his own, instead of 1 or 2 songs; no FCC to worry about; much better coin than the ABC gig; alcohol and an over 21 crowd live right in front of the stage; five miles from his home instead of across the country; a good 30 to 40 degrees warmer than NYC; and best of all, MY PRESENCE IN THE AUDIENCE.
YOU GUYS....it's Adam's very, very first ever post-idol headliner concert...playing HIS songs, from HIS album. How could I say no? Never mind that I've spent less on entire vacations!...So I got my ticket, (and a plane ticket, and a rental car) and I'm meeting up with a bunch of cool people from hooplamagnet and I'm so freakin' excited I can hardly stand it.
Which leads me back to my original question. Adam, I love you baby, but please, please, please, can I have my common sense back some day? Pleeeeeease?
