Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert? Sheesh! In the early '80s, Kimmy dressed herself in a long velvet gown, put dog collars 'round two shirtless males' necks, attached leather leads, and we walked blocks and blocks to a party ... where we were greeted with whoops and cheers. A good time was had by all.
Twenty years later and it's as if what Lambert and crew simulated hasn't actually been going on in homes in the best of 'hoods for generations!
Just keep telling yourselves that and the world will never change for the better.
But even, and finally, network TV is airing more of what really goes on in the world. This show wasn't even the evening news. It was music awards. It was late night. Music, always a forerunner. Musicians ... always forerunners.
Lambert was just demonstrating that somtimes guys just wanna let down their hair and be sex and be sexy. Hmmmm ... sound familiar? Anyone?
Or perhaps a more apt description is sometimes guys just wanna let down their hair and prance around and have F-UN, ala Cyndi Lauper. What's wrong with that?
There are lots and lots of songs that cause us to turn up the volume and sing into our hairbrushes, hang too long at greenlights, whatever. What's wrong with that?
Lambert introduced THE newest entry into that category of song for lots of us. Thanks, Adam! I know I am not the only one who knows you weren't only singing to certain members of one gender ... way more than 10 percent, btw. But that's another blog entry soon.
