Music video: Maroon 5 – “Love Somebody”

Back in the early 1980s, when music videos were a “new” thing, the creativity involved was a wide open frontier. So many possibilities.

Narrative, abstract, special effects… so many things to do.

Today, it’s hard to come up with something new, in my opinion.

And with that, I invite you to check out Maroon 5’s new video for their single “Love Somebody.”

With what ‘could’ be a fairly naked Adam Levine (in body paint and not much more) in what is one of the more creative expressions I’ve seen in a music video of late.

Happy Hump Day.

Adam Levine likes underwear – “don’t want things flopping around”

Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and The Voice likes underwear so thing don't "flop around"

Christina Aguilera, of The Voice, recently declared that she doesn’t wear underwear.

In regard to that factoid,  fellow The Voice co-star Adam Levine comes out in defense of the garments:

“It’s so funny ‘cause I love to wear underwear,” he tells AccessHollywood. “I’m not kidding,” the Maroon 5 frontman adds. “It keeps everything in check, you know? Like, I think it’s nice to know everything is set. [With] no underwear… I don’t know what could happen. I don’t want things flopping around. I don’t know if that’s the same for women, it’s a little simpler down there for you guys. I just need a buffer zone between my junk and the outside world.”

Ironically, Maroon 5’s latest CD is entitled “Overexposed” – check it out.

Day One for President Adam Levine: legalize same-sex marriage

Get More: MTV Shows

According to the Advocate, Adam Levine says the first thing he’d do if he were president for one day is legalize same-sex marriage.

During an interview to promote their irresistible new album Overexposed, Levine and Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine are queried on what would be on their agenda if they were president for a single day. “First I’d make gay marriage legal because that’s just archaic and ridiculous,” Levine says immediately.

Levine, who will make his acting debut in Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story this fall, is a longtime equality advocate, who in 2010 recorded a video for the It Gets Better campaign to help prevent LGBT teen suicide.
