This One Is a Little Off Topic

What better cause to go off topic than the Glittery One?

The word "apocalypse" is being used to describe this summer's bad concert season, with numerous big artists cancelling shows. The stated reasons for the cancellations are not always "lack of ticket sales," but there is usually a lack of ticket sales that accompanies the cancellations, coincidentally.

There is one sparkly exception. Adam Lambert's Glam Nation Tour is (mostly) sold out through August, making his decisions to (1) headline his own tour and (2) perform in smaller venues look like genius. Reviews, for the most part, have been good, with the biggest complaint being that it is over too soon. (I haven't seen he show yet, but I have to agree. There is never enough Adam Lambert.)

Last night he performed at the Ryman Theater in Nashville, the once and current home of the Grand Ole Opry. And this is what he looked like. (BTW, when he broke into his middle eastern cover of Ring of Fire, the famous Johnny Cash hit, the crowd reportedly went nuts.)

As to what he sounded like, check out the hundreds of YouTube videos from his numerous Glam Nation performances.

If you are not a fan of Adam Lambert, I suggest you consider getting on board, because this summer, it may be the only show in town.
