This is simultaneously a sad and happy day for American progressives. On one hand, American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert was forced to admit to the public that he is indeed gay. Who cares?! The man is mega-talented (not to mention a total hottie). I have no problem with AI, Season 8 winner Kris Allen, but Adam deserved to win. Oh, well, he's on to bigger and better things, including fronting Queen. Anyway, I believe AT&T is to blame for all this ballyhoo. Keep in mind that this is the same corporate conglom that pumped mega-moola into the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign. The whole super-texting scandal has more than likely harmed AI's credibility, and the show has officially "jumped the shark." BTW, my sister burned a mix CD of Adam recordings for me, and his covers of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' "The Tracks of My Tears," Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," and Sam Cook's "A Change Is Gonna Come" rock hard! His renditions of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" and U2's "One" are fine efforts as well.
On the upside of all this, Carrie Prejean-- a.k.a. "Miss California"-- has been decrowned. Who didn't see that one coming? I'm just gonna call it as I see it: She's a total bimbo and definitely not a role model. Furthermore, she's a complete nitwit when it comes to politics. Needless to say, there's no love lost here.
