Yeah, that's how I felt, too - it's almost like, "Are you not 'that guy' because you didn't have a hit rock single or because you legitimately don't feel that was you?"
YES EXACTLY what I would of typed if I knew how to get my point across. From what I took the comment to mean I would say that he was trieng to be really hard core which he wasnt so he stripped everything down and has the show that we see now wich is alot easier for him to showcase his talents in. Remember back when shows would be cancelled because some band member wasnt there, things like that get in the way of what he wants to do, therefore he is more comfortable with just larry and him still doing what he enjoys.
That bieng said, I dont see why we cant get a little daytripper and superstitious instead of Maria and dare I say Glory every now and then.

That brings back memories, bdwaygirl.
I absolutely love the cover of Superstition he did (didn't hear it in person, unfortunately.) I wouldn't mind an occasional foray into more bluesy or funky territory.

Oooh, I didn't even know he covered that!
I'm trying really hard not to be jealous I'll just look forward to the descriptions so I can live vicariously.
I fully agree, mesmerized. Adam can certainly pull off the hard core numbers, even if he doesn't feel like they're really "him." And I find it funny that he persists in including Maria in his repertoire when he hates WSS. There are lots of other great songs out there - perhaps he could choose one from something he actually likes. Hell, he could even retire Glory at some point.
It's terrific version (Superstition, that is). I can't find it right now but now I want to listen to it again.
Regarding who Adam is as a musician, one thing I can say is that even in comparison with the first show I saw him do at Joe's Pub in 2004, he's become much more comfortable on stage, so maybe there's something to what he has said about this. (I'm talking about his own shows, rather than musical theater performances.)

Time for more objectification.

It's possible that the hardcore rocker thing was essentially sincere, but something he realized was neither his strong suit nor where he'd find any kind of longevity with his music career. That could probably inspire a comment like the one he made.
So, uh.
Who here knows the story behind this?
All I know is that Adam and Jesse were on some kind of cooking show together back in the Rent days. Adam manages to look essentially clueless here, but according to Cybele he can actually cook.
I missed objectification!!!! =( That makes me sad. Oh well, I can be raunchy in person tomorrow, lol! Can't wait!

Tickets are now on sale for my production of The Pajama Game. I'm really excited, but at the same time, I think I'm having a tiny little panic attack! We're going off-book in less than two weeks!

Ah, so basically, the story is what can assumed by the screencaps. I'm smart. Still, when you just have screencaps and no facts, your mind wanders about specifics. Like whether Adam just called Jesse up and said "whatcha doin? ...can I come too?" and then showed up after being explicitly told not to. Yeah, I digress. Before this starts to sound like a Weekly Adventure of Jesse L. Martin.
I like green.
Heh, Bobby Flay. He's such a putz.
I now associate Superstition with that jeans commercial where the guy is stalked by the naked mannequin for taking the jeans off him in the store. That commercial gave me nightmares. Am I a horrible person for *not* wanting Adam to do that song now? :-P

Oh my GOD, I've never seen that commercial! It does sound scary, though. I sort of hate that song, but I couldn't tell you why. It's just one of those things!
Oh, it's terrifying! I looked for a link on The Site Which Shall Not Be Named and couldn't find it. The worst is at the end, when the guy is sleeping on his couch and the mannequin's shadow slowly raises up over him. So.freaking.disturbing.
It's always so odd to see Jesse L. Martin out of character. He's always so stoic on Law & Order and it's the polar opposite of what he's like in person.

I've never seen that commercial skittles, seems...scary.
Wow, I don't go on this thread for one night and I miss an entire objectification session.
Ooh, concert tonight! I'm excited for the reviews, and the daily Adam appearance comments.
You know what sucks? Buying tickets from the Kennedy Center. Why do they have to be so elitist and maintain control when they clearly don't have the capacity to handle it? The website has crashed, I had to call 10 times in a row before I got an actual answer instead of a busy signal and I've been on hold for 15 minutes so far.

What are the tickets for, skittles? I think I know, but I'm not sure.

Holy crap. Forewarned is forearmed! Is that how that saying goes?
Can we bring muzzles? Do they even work?

Throw food at her.
Ok..that's a little mean, but I hope she's not like, screaming the entire time and ruining it for you guys.
Muzzles would be less subtle than the food throwing
If she gets really out of hand, maybe the Adam death stare will shut her up.

Sweeney Todd concert with Stokes. I got really excited about getting tickets...then kind of crashed when I had to wait 5 months to actually see it.
I think muzzles just stop her from biting (which still seems a definite risk with this girl) but I think you should just go all the way with a gagball.
Josh Groban is on The View today! Lexi, why are you not up there with the Chess poster!?!
Hah, how do we get all the luck?

Pretend you're moving in your seat, and hold on to the back of her seat to steady yourself, pulling on her hair in the process. Not that I've ever done that...
