Recorded: Of all the disappointments is any sadder than Adam Lambert, who came out of American Idol as first runner up in 2009 and was the epitome of out gay cool chic and sexiness. And then he couldn’t figure out what to do with it. His role as Freddie Mercury stand in with Queen was the epitome of what a waste, and three years after the disastrous Trespassing album, the one meant to save him from a bad debut album, here is the inferior The Original High. Who wants to be George Michaels in 2015?
Live: Barry Manilow at Barclays, Active Child at Bowery Ballroom, Ginger Baker at BB Kings, David Gray and Amos Lee at Radio City, Nate Ruess at Webster Hall -weeeeeeee! I keep on looking at that Manilow -but nah, wrong time and place.
Politics: If they don’t fix this rent stabilization stuff, it will be real bad for everyone. New York City needs a middle class and without rent stabilization we won’t get one. I really and truly hate politicians, terrifying one million tenants simplyfor party politics. They should all be fired.
Sports: Warriors beat Cavs, despite LeBron’s finals for the ages. So the Yanks are losing and the Mets are winning, and Tampa Bay is in first place.
