Adam Lambert
We've come a long way from the Village People to Adam Lambert. Maybe not musically, but certainly socially. California may not know it, but homosexuality is as American as "American Idol." The times are thankfully changing. Lambert announced his sexuality on the cover of "Rolling Stone" and the world yawned. But, alas, coming-out parties were not always so manufactured and celebrated. It took a generation of closeted, ambivalent, tortured gay musicians to allow Lambert to step out so easily.

On Celebrity Reality TV Trainwrecks...Chopergirl said "I have always loved her. She has been a very good part of entertainment - I remember when she was in Roots. AND then CHEERS, and then the talking babies with John Travolta. My gosh, we all have problems, and with those come stress eating at times...She is beautiful regardless of what she weighs, and not only physically beautiful, but also beautiful inside. She has had her heart broke just like the rest of us, and struggles like the rest of us....to bad people expect her to be perfect as that is what imperfect people like to see - someone perfect to make them feel better. Projecting their OWN disappointment onto others, in some sick way, makes them feel a little better. That is a terrible post about her. I will watch her show."

On Celebrity Reality TV Trainwrecks...Sardonica said "How is she anymore a train wreck than ANY body else, celebrity or not? We all have our issues. She is at least trying to better herself, not trash those around her, or laugh at the misfortunes of others. You're as bad as Perez. YOU are the one that needs to get a life, not her. "

On Oprah's Love Couch Confessionals...ratt said "Don't the people who read this crap have anything at all better to worry about? Is it REALLY any of your concern what this movie star or that musician is up to in their personal lives? Did any of you useless tabloid bottom feeding twats notice that I used the word PERSONAL? Not likely, because the people that read this stuff don't think anyone has a life that they can't have access to. A word for those who have nothing better to do than concern themselves about others in the spotlight... pathetic."

I look at David Lee Roth both on and offstage, (formerly) elaborately coiffed, uttering falsetto screams and wails, ever shirtless, doiing splits and martial arts moves to make sure everyone, above all himself, knows he's butch 24/7.
If he finally came out, I imagine quite a few heavy metal mosh pits would perhaps change from a place where a carelessly flung hand would result in spontaneous passion instead of a fistfight.

Queen.....to this very day, simply one of the very best rock shows I ever saw. A singer that never failed to impress the 12 times I saw him-RIP
