Contrary to
popular belief, I don't want 20 entries a month.
I like my average of 7 a month because it allows
everyone to soak in those entries and videos. Hell
even SEVEN a month is a lot. But the news is just
coming in too fast right now. First off, let me show
you something that is akin to going into your memory
banks and changing your thoughts (something the Bush
Administration just can't seem to figure out yet, give
them time):
Eeeeek. That
creeps me out. I don't like it at all. You're
messin' with my baby man. Alas, I have no choice.
So is that the final name for NBC's America's Got
Talent? Nope. That's the final name for ABC's variety
show in June that we just submitted for.
Whaaaaaaa?
Thaaaaaaaaaaat's
right folks. Although Adam has been doing this for 7
years, 2 networks have decided to put on the same
show, calling for the same acts, in the
SAME FUCKING MONTH. Which means
contractually he can only do one. Ha! Of course!
<shaking
head>
You
just have to laugh. But for obvious
reasons, Charlotte and I jumped on
this thing in a HEARTBEAT. Cover your
bases. You'd much rather be choosing
between two networks than begging one.
I am slightly partial to NBC just
because of the Simon
Cowell
angle (who I actually like), but
otherwise I have to choose what I
think will be the best show. Hell I pray I
even get the chance!
The whole NBC,
ABC rivalry thing is so weird. It went a whole
step futher yesterday when they announced that NBC
ripped Regis Philbin from ABC to host their
variety show, America's Got Talent (a big thanks to
Lisa from the boards for scooping that tidbit for me
yesterday!) He even talked about it today on...ABC. So
how confusing is that gonna be to the
ABC audience? Strange huh? I can't imagine
ABC was too thrilled about that. Makes me think
ABC may postpone their show or make it drastically
different from NBC's show to not confuse things. It
has to be so infuriating for ABC to have to allow
Regis to talk about NBC's variety show when they're
trying to promote their own. Crazy, crazy, crazy.
Either way, Adam & The Egos is on its way to
ABC. And yes, I'm still shaking my head at just how
much of a whirlwind all this is. There is more going
on in the months of April & May with my
career than the previous 7 years combined. That isn't
even close to an exagerration.
Now, the
name: Adam & The Egos. I actually
don't care for it from a "meaning" standpoint.
It's the opposite of what the show is - Adam is
the ego, not the TVs. But the "flowability" of
the name is undeniable. It just works. It sticks in
your head and rolls off your tongue. It's reminiscent
of Echo & The Bunnymen, and has an 80s feel to it.
I had actually thought of it originally right
away, but discarded it for the "meaning" reason. Then
I was talkin to Marty a few days ago and he
said it... and it just clicked. Hearing someone
else say it really worked. I'm trying to let it grow
on me because looking at the above picture still makes
my skin crawl. It's like changing your baby's birth
certificate. LOL.
So for now, my
only job is to continue on the diet and workout
routine (which I've lovingly entitled the "Oh my fuck
I'm gonna be on TV" diet. It works REALLY well.
I suggest you all try it), and just relax. Avoid
as much stress as possible as I calmly wait for every
single opportunity I have...
...to blow up in
my face as has been Journey tradition for 7 years.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
:-)
Adam
PS - You may have
noticed that I've mentioned 2 people in the past
couple of entries which allows them to be "Journey
Players" on the boards. LOL. I'm getting a kick out of
how people have been trying to bribe me for inclusion
in this epic tale of woe. Kristi, my one international
fan from Germany made this "blend" from my fireside
pics:
Welcome to the
Players Club...and you didn't even have to marry
me.
