Getting on Board the Glambert Publicity Train
So, I got smashed through the turnstile and pulled on board, pretty willingly. After admittedly missing the entire American Idol season in which he took second place–and thus never having seen him perform–it was hard to avoid all the publicity about Adam Lambert, especially his much-hyped performance at the AMAs to promote his freshly minted debut album, “For Your Entertainment.” And that’s exactly what I was hoping...
