Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he is grateful for the chance and the money that he makes doing it allows him the freedom to persue his own music so I'm sure he's not complaining. I just think if given the choice he would prefer to stay on his own and persue his own music career rather than become a full member of Live. Of course that is just my opinion and we don't really know what he would choose to do but I for one would be really bummed if he gave up on his own music.

I agree with you, Heather (sorry Sherocker!) I don't think Adam wants to be an official member of Live either, at least that's what I read in this piece he wrote in his tour diary a few months back:

"... We played at a place called Vnuk's...from the outside, you would think we were heading into the Bates Motel and in for a murderous surprise...but, to our amazement, it was quite a nice joint, a full stage, a great sound system and good people. Needless to say, we were pleasantly surprised. during the show, I had made a comment to the lovely 20 people in attendance about my experiences on the road and with LIVE. The dichotomy of playing in front of thousands of people with LIVE and the 20 of whom I had full attention never seems to amaze me. It tends to hit home when people walk up to you and ask, "why the hell are you playing here?" "you don't have a record deal?" or when someone plays a few LIVE songs on the jukebox to bust your balls. I take it all in stride, I love what I do and I appreciate all the steps and whomever comes in for a moment on this journey I call life. Thanks for stopping by and listening.

So I guess in conclusion on this tangent...I'll use an e-mail from a dear friend...

"The brook would lose its sound without the rocks."

take care and hope to see you soon,
Adam"

You think he'd put up with all this shit for such a long time already and then just give it all up?
I don't...
