My First Twitlonger.. lol I haven't checked my mail on YouTube in awhile and I just saw this response from a dj over a comment I made on a vid I thought was degrading and humiliating Adam... I think these are very wise words from someone who knows what's going on. I'm not posting the name of the dj or the station but it's one we deal with everyday out of privacy for that person and also I didn't tell him I was gonna share. Here is the email I received

re: Rainbert
I don't check my messages or you tube often either. I just saw this and you sent it over a month ago. Passionate fans are a really great thing for an artist. But sometimes angry passion can hurt an artist. Adam appears to have a lot of passionate fans which will help propel him in his career. However, the trick is not to let the passion turn toward lashing out at anyone who appears to slight the artist in any way. What it ends up doing is leaving behind a trail of enemies for the artist. A lot of times dislike of an artists fan base turns to dislike of the artist himself. I know Adam's fans mean well but they are getting a reputation and it is starting to work against Adam. It's best to ignore the implied or explicit snubs or slights toward Adam. Reacting to them causes more harm than good. I say all this only because I have worked behind the scenes in radio & tv for many years and have witnessed it first hand. I like Adam. I think he is a true and rare talent and I wish him nothing but success. I do however get concerned when I hear my colleagues talk about his "obnoxious" fans (not my words). When you see a negative article it's best not to respond and above all don't pass it around and give the site hits. It serves to fuel the fire. I hope you take this email in the spirit it was meant - helpful behind the scenes guidance.
