As July ends the “Trespassing” touring era now seems to be over with the last show at Paso Robles. But work continues as Adam is to be part of the Glee cast and also is guesting on Avicii’s new single “Lay Me Down”. It may be quiet on the touring front but there are always surprises. When it comes to Adam, expect the unexpected! Photo from Alikat1323 Smugmug.
Enjoy the chat!

    Ron Glad to see you here, young fella, I was missing you Smile I too remember Liza – she was a big star back in the day when there were “real” stars, not profane, plastic egos-on-legs. I agree with y’all that the Liza with a “G” was a gracious compliment from Adam (even though I wasn’t much impressed with her performance – she’s starting to bore me a bit).
    Thanks to aely for that insightful article. Now I really want to weep over the injustices going on in that Music Biz Frown The acoustic OOL is tear inducing too, it’s so very beautiful Cry .

    After reading that TJR interview, I just keep thinking of two performances, one was when they played Sandman, and his love of Metallica, the other is that iconic acoustic performance of WLL at Fantasy Springs. That was just blues. Pure blues. And sweet sweet Adam in all his glory.

    I’m looking forward to hearing his album with Brian. Should be suh-weeet.

    What does it mean – if anything – that Interscope is no longer affiliated with AI?

    So will Adam be playing with Aviici? Or showing up and walking the red carpet and there to represent LMD, but Aviici will do his thing and just spin the song????

    Okay, I will be in London on the 13th. I wonder if I could pull off going? HMMMMM – My dad at a EDM music event – that makes me laugh! Going to research…..

    Leaving tomorrow and will be gone until the 16th. I will check in but being on a ship I probably won’t get much time to play. Honestly, I hope I miss a ton of good news!!

    nkd HA! I would just throw things at annoying people.

    I really enjoyed that article as well. It was so heartfelt and real. Adam is getting there, slowly but he is on his way.

    On a HUGELY shallow note Adam and Jared would make an extremely HOT couple..DAMN…Everyone speculates he is bi. Yes, I know he is old and taller than he likes but I am sticking with DAMN!! Smile

  11. milwlovesadam says:

    Ummm, guys, Adam retweeted Sutan’s message about London!!

    Yup. He’ll be there. AND he could rehearse with Queen. Two birds with one stone, as it were.

    Did something change for the festival? I thought Shoshanna made it clear it was a NO about them all performing together in London. Sutan tweeted? I wouldn’t mind seeing Avicii, though.

    Listened to that YT, mils – on iTunes, it’s the only track you have to buy the entire album for.

    Ran across TJ’s interview in different format a few days ago and had same reaction – Buddy Guy – know that name – not like you do, though. Checked iTunes and dl’d a number of tracks – he does one with Beth Hart – “What You Gonna Do About Me” – great stuff.

    This is for Mils and Ron. Last week one day I turned on my computer and there in my e-mail list was the name Barbra Streisand. For a fleeting moment I was elated. Barbra was e-mailing me. Then reality set in and I realized, she doesn’t know I’m a fan, I’ve never written to her, e-mailed or joined any fan groups. I knew then it might be political. Thanks to my political daughter, the one who got invited to the White House last December, I’ve been receiving lots of e-mails for various causes. Barbra did address me by my first name and then asked me to support a cause dear to her. How could I not. I remember hearing her for the first time when Gary Moore introduced her on his TV show as a young unknown talent that he thought America should hear. If Adam were to duet with and older legend I’d rather it be her than Cher as not a fan of Cher. Grin

    Dear JOSJOSIE

    You mean, this? Wink

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo7V0Tz0fxg

    Talk about raw talent!

    She wasn’t B-A-R-B-R-A S-T-R-E-I-S-A-N-D yet. Laugh

    Help me JOSJOSIE! I think that the last person in the clip is Vic Damone?! I’m not sure though.

    Is that Durwood Kirby singing?! Question I think so.

  21. ultimathule says:
    08/28/2013 at 11:32 pm

    Vic Damone – great voice, but sorta boring.

  22. ultimathule says:
    08/28/2013 at 11:38 pm

    Kirby sang? Remember him from Candid Camera, I think.

  23. ultimathule says:
    08/28/2013 at 11:41 pm

    Looked him up on Wiki – it’s actually Durward –

    Kirby’s name was spoofed in the animated series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, where a man’s hat (size 7-5/32) was called the “Kirward Derby”. It supposedly had magic powers that made its wearer the smartest person in the world.

    The kids and I used to watch that show – they all wanted to go to Whassamatta U when they grew up.

  24. JOJOSIE says:
    08/28/2013 at 11:59 pm

    Ron, the first time she sang on that show she was 19yrs old and sang “when the sun comes up”. I must have missed a Jack Parr show or two as her first TV appearance I heard was on his show. It’s hard to believe as I was a real fan of his show. Oh the memories.

  25. Ron says:
    08/29/2013 at 12:00 am

    Durward makes much more sense, ulti

    I can’t imagine why I’d think that it would be spelled “wood”.

    But upon further reflection … Big Smile

    Ulti, Vic Damone boring?! Shock

    His voice was so beautiful that he could sing anything and I’d just marvel at his talent. Kind of similar to someone else that we know here.

    As you say though, which is true, to each their own.

    But, except for Adam, I don’t like “your own”. I think that “my own” is better than “your own”.

    ROTFL

  26. ultimathule says:
    08/29/2013 at 12:07 am

    Damone had a set of the best pipes in the business, Ron – but not the most exciting personality around. Sometimes, of course, that’s enough.

    (I thought it was Durwood, too.)

  27. Calgary says:

    Ron, Jojosie Do you remember when Liza Minelli made her TV debut on Jack Paar? She had her leg in a cast. Jack intro’d her as “Dijou Landgar” so noone would know who she really was. I can’t find the clip on YT.

  28. ultimathule says:
    08/29/2013 at 12:09 am

    In my day – lol – Ron – it was to each “his” own. Made things simpler, of course, like using “mankind” instead of “humankind.” But, really, “man” encompasses “woman” in the true sense.

  29. Calgary says:
    08/29/2013 at 12:10 am

    I think Joni Mitchell and Adam have a lot in common. If you can check out the CBC “Q” interview with Joni, you’ll hear her say a lot of the same things as we’ve heard from Adam over time. Iconic, indeed.

  30. ultimathule says:
    08/29/2013 at 12:10 am

    Loved Jack Paar – short stay on late-night TV – but memorable – why did he walk off?

  31. ultimathule says:
    08/29/2013 at 12:13 am

    Ah, Joni Mitchell, Calgary – her sublime album, “Blue.”

    Do you have a link? Would love to see/hear the interview.

    Immediate association with the name Jodi Mitchell is the song “Michael From Mountains”.

  37. ultimathule says:
    08/29/2013 at 1:19 am

    Joni Mitchell or Judy Collins? Apparently there are two of them, Ron

    Ulti, you’re right.

    I was thinking of the Judy Collins version of “Michael From Mountains”.

    I’d forgotten about that song and I’m listening to it now and loving it all over again.

    Ah, memories.

  41. rs says:

    More a Joni fan than a Judy one – but the Crosby/Stills/Nash Judy Blue Eyes Suite remains in my memory bank of wonderful times.

    ulti: thanks for the tongue warning LOL.
    I can’t get too worked up about Miley, even if the performance was talentless, pointless, and tasteless. Have seen worse supervising high school dances (and trying to stop it is like whack-a-mole). I do wonder if all the outraged parents have any idea about their own kids’ “moves”.
    I still think Robin Thicke was at least as tasteless. How exactly is it that he gets a free pass? Wasn’t he the (married) adult in the room and happily went along with it?

    I’ll say, Ulti!

    You’re also right about Vic Damone.

    Great voice but not very exciting to watch. But this clip makes me cry (it really does) because I’m listening to true talent and I can’t help but be moved by it.

    The same way that I’m moved about someone else here on this blog.

    Thinking

    Something tells me that this isn’t going to be your cuppa, Ulti Laugh

    You might recognize who he is singing with. Big Smile

    This is much closer to the kind of Broadway music I like – it has melody and great voices. But, aside from “And this is my beloved,” there’s not a lot of great music in Kismet (and most of it was derived from Alexander Borodin). Went to Wiki and saw so many names associated with the music – Alfred Drake, Doretta Morrow, Ann Jeffreys – and, of course, the movie – Howard Keel, Ann Blyth, Dolores Gray, and, yes, Damone, that I remember from those years.

    Thanks, Ron – run more by me – love to see your pics.

    These are the musicals I love, Ron – don’t see Pal Joey listed here though – Rodgers and Hart such an incredible collab.

  48. Ron says:
    08/29/2013 at 3:16 am

    Silly of me UltiI know, but it was a juxtaposition of this video with that of Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke as far as what’s considered to be talent today.

    Scary thing is … I’m sounding more and more like my father.
