Prince Charming has much to celebrate this year. I think his US tour went well. OK, Vegas was packed, I have no idea about Austin. I haven’t found one person who went yet Adam is due in light of all these other revivals.
Born Leslie Stuart Goddard, Adam got caught up in the Punk Rock movement sweeping the UK in the late Seventies and became a fixture for many years later. He may be a footnote in the US but he has numerous Eighties hits back home.
When I was a teenager, I remember Adam used to date Jamie Lee Curtis before she married Christopher Guest. I didn’t know he dated Heather Graham in the early Nineties, lucky dude, must’ve been his accent that woo’d her.
So looking forward to reading his autobiography past page 50.
To honor his birthday this weekend, I request you either play a game of sorts involving pirates (the Black Rose pinball machine counts) or listen to a few hits which exclude “Goody Two Shoes,” “Room at the Top” and “Wonderful.” Dive deeper! I highly recommend anything from his second (band) album Kings of the Wild Frontier, it’s a fave of Simon Pegg’s.
