Imitation sensation…
So, first off, let me tell you… I had been driving around in my car for about two weeks when I kept hearing this song, “Whataya want from me” but I never heard the DJ tell me WHO sang the song. Don’t you just hate that? So the more I heard it, the more I was convinced it was Melissa Etheridge. Take another listen to the song and listen to it REAL close – with your eyes shut, even. I challenge you to NOT hear Melissa Etheridge in Adam’s voice. If you’ve listened to enough Melissa Etheridge over the years as I have, Adam sounds JUST LIKE HER!
So anyway, that’s how I came to be inspired by today’s strip.
I hope you all agree that today’s caricature of Adam Lambert is WORLD’S BETTER than Monday’s Robert Di Nero. I think so.
Also, I should mention to all the young kiddies at home, in the first panel… that thing Roy is holding is called a “Boom Box”. Back in the 80’s, that was OUR version of the iPod – only instead of MP3’s, we had cassette tapes and the radio blasting out of huge speakers. If you were REALLY cool, you might have had a boom box with FOUR speakers (2 large and 2 small) along with an equalizer display. Those were always cool – especially when you were playing “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey.
Of course, if anyone can tell me why this particular strip wouldn’t fall with continuity standards – in other words, what’s wrong with this strip? – then you guys get DOUBLE EXTRA BROWNIE POINTS. Sorry. No contest this time. But you do get bragging rights if you can tell me what’s wrong. And why.
🙂
Also, since today IS Wednesday, don’t forget to check out my weekly strip over at www.communitymx.com called “CMX Suite”:
