EXACTLY Polly! (PS: some of my guy buddies use them, or at least have taken my stash and used them...)

That's funny Tink, at least he's coming around right? See, if he wore a Bruce Springsteen shirt or an Elvis Costello one he'd win my dad over in a heart-beat. But my ma has to be Pink Floyd, otherwise she could care less; 'cuz Iron Maiden is not a favorite in my household

Brina, I wasn't talking about his face.

*probably just gave away too much about myself*

haha, I knew what you were getting at MYB.

em - that is great that you guys can still share stuff like that after all of this time and distance.

I had a feeling you weren't talking about his face MYB; I was just trying to change the subject at hand

LOL!

Btw...Adam would have to be wearing a Neil Diamond t-shirt to turn my parents' heads. My mom liked him a lot in Aida, though, but we didn't talk about his physical attributes.

Oh man, I don't even want to think about my mom sitting through Aida. She either would have left or fallen asleep, lol.

brina, I posted your avatar pic on another thread a few days ago. I love that movie!!

My dad might be won over by Guns 'n Roses. My mom...Bon jovi, maybe? She likes a few artists...

One of my best friends was turned onto Adam because he can play guitar.

i agree with your parents GG. i love both GNR & bon jovi. and my new guitar came today! woo hoo!

[GuitarGirl]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 1:53pm

You got a new guitar? Awesome! What kind?

I only like GNR a bit, but my best friend loves them. And i love Bon Jovi.

Adam might like them-he likes older rock bands.

I'm not a big fan of 80s hair bands. I totally missed that boat, lol.

Someone should post the pic of Adam from his Mute cd on his myspace - that's good enough proof of his 80s Bob Jovi hair!

i think they did. it's nothing special just a generic pink 38" guitar. i haven't played in a very long time so i just got a cheapy off ebay to relearn on. but i'm just bouncy that it came, & it was brand new not used like i thought. the only reason i got a pink one was to keep my boys from messing with it lol. i'd have preferred a blue or black one. when i get better, i'll get a nice one. and i'll give the pink one to my daughter

Aw, that's nice. :)

I'm not such a fan most of those bands.

Finally, someone appreciates the Chipmunk Adventure movie!! I swear that was my childhood in a nutshell; and I just rediscovered it on Youtube a few days ago. Such a sweet flick!

[Mother's Younger Brother]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 3:28pm

I loooooooved the Chipmunks when I was little, but I don't think I've seen the movie. Maybe it came out a little late for me...aka, maybe I was too old by then.

But I'm so nostalgic and into animation now that I'm sure I'd probably love it.

Has anyone seen Rent from around row C in the mezz? How would that be for someone seeing it for the first time?

[MotorTink]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 4:11pm

that is where I was on Tuesday Chloe. Center mezz Row C on the aisle towards right mezz. They were just fine and I had the two people seeing it with me for the first time too.

brina- you know you can buy that movie on DVD,right? It's one of my favorites too! The part with the penguin gets me every single time.

[Chloe]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 4:41pm

Thanks, Tink!

I have to say, after seeing Adam a couple of times in Rent, I completely agree with those who believe he belongs on Broadway. Aida a couple of years ago didn't convince me of that, and when he moved to LA I wasn't as disappointed as some of you were. Now I just hope there's some way for him to come back to the stage soon.

[*brina-doll*]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 5:13pm

I didn't know it was on DVD Luckystar, I'll have to put that on my Christmas wish list!

I really can't give a direct opinion on how well Adam performs live (either on stage or touring) due to the fact I have yet to actually SEE him perform; but I really hope new stage material is in his near future. From the reviews I've read (and a few snippets of Youtubing) he seems to be a very good actor, not just a 'performer'. I've always felt that there are the actors and then the performers; some individuals can blend the two of these things perfectly (ala Raul Esparza) while some can only do either or, not both. I personally think that Adam has finally nailed the combo of both worlds, and this can only lead to greater things. But that's just my two cents

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 5:59pm

I dunno. I think Raúl is clearly an actor who sings, and Adam a singer who acts. They both transition between the two worlds well enough that they can each create a very powerful, effective combination of them, but I do think that in those terms, they're pretty categorically different.

Well-said, Em. I completely agree. I've always felt that Adam's charisma comes primarily from his voice, and how he uses it to emote.

[LuckyStar]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 6:07pm

I was pleasantly surprised to see a rather large RENT display at my local Borders just now. I ran in to pick up a copy of the Times, and right over by the registers they have a nice display of any and every RENT- related item you could possibly want. I know I didn't see any of it when I went in about two weeks ago, so I'm assuming that there's an excited fan lurking in the Borders staff.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 6:08pm

Right. As good an actor as Adam has become, he still emotes best when he sings.

[Chloe]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 6:31pm

I think that's true, but for whatever reason he seems to be expanding beyond that now. A case in point is the line "maybe a little bird told her." It was overly arch on the OBCR, and pretty much the same on 7/30. This past Tuesday he said it quite differently. It was natural and effective.
