Here it is, kids! After watching the entire thing, I'm mostly disappointed that nobody simulated oral sex. In seriousness, though, this is going to be a rough and fascinating road. I've heard the whole album -- I've been listening to it for a week, actually -- and it's brilliant. But this country's never really had an openly gay pop star, and Adam is making calculated choices to push the door wide open; he's being a flamboyant openly gay pop star, so that people can come in later and be milder openly gay pop stars and take considerably less heat for it. He's going to make unpopular and perhaps even uncouth decisions, and he's going to take unending amounts of shit for it, and it's going to be a rocky road. Thus far -- and it's early still -- he's maneuvered through it with a lot of grace. But make no mistake about it -- he's made a conscious decision to put himself way, way out there as a target, so this country can exhaust its "righteous" ammo on him and, in the future, be more comfortable with a gay pop star who, perhaps, doesn't thrust his backup dancer's face against his penis on live national television. It takes a hell of a lot of guts to do that, to put yourself out there as that person and to take that heat day in and day out, but I have a feeling it will be worth it in the end. Thank you, Adam. /> Here it is, kids! After watching the entire thing, I'm mostly disappointed that nobody simulated oral sex.
