The gay caballero Adam Lambert, "the man in the iron mask" goes his own way, renouncing the legendary paths of 20th century crooners....Rudy Vallee Dick Powell Bobby Breen Dennis Day Nelson Eddy Bing Crosby Tony Martin Perry Como Frank Sinatra Tex Beneke Dean Martin Dick Haymes Paul Anka Bobby Darrin Elvis Presley Louis Armstrong Eddie Fisher Nat King Cole Frankie Laine Simon&Garfunkel Tony Bennett.
The incarnations of Ben Bernie Jimmy Durante Al Jolson in black face Eddie Cantor on his knees, singing ballads and romantic love tunes. Bewailing the pop culture gone hip hop.

"The man in the iron mask" goes thru his motions.... a stud projecting his latest amour.. Embracing the mike as thou in the digital age the mike morphs ... grabbing his crotch before the globe’s baby sitters.

When the planet is in need of larger than life heroes like Tony Bennett...artists into torch songs ...the pop gig into the rigged mob scene as thou the roar would sweep the audiences collective consciousness into mass insanity...Imagination and fantasy selling out,.... making a frenzied score ...

Where’s Mario Lanza’s mother? Lee J Cobb, the Golden Boy’s father and role model?
A bewildered soul searching for his rig and its sails in our stormy ocean of humanity.
"I lost my way pops momma. Bring me back to what I could have become,"cried Pasadena’s William Holden, the sound and fury drowning out his wails from the womb..
Carnegie Hall and the violin? Boxing and the purse? Lip synching on the "Great Caruso" lot?
Ramon Navarro Fatty Arbuckle where art thou?
