When Adam Lambert and Mika came out, no one batted an eyelash. It was business as usual because, quite frankly, it was very old news already. But when music mogul Clive Davis earlier this week revealed he is Bisexual and has engaged in sexual relationships with men, it got the industry chattering. This is the man who nurtured the careers of Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, and Kelly Clarkson, just to name a few, and he's perhaps the most powerful music figure since David Geffen to officially out himself. The revelation and details are penned in his new autobiography, The Soundtrack of My Life, available in stores now. By the way, Davis and Clarkson are in a semi-bitter feud these days, with Clarkson disputing the famed producer's story of her crying in his office because she didn't get her way on the hit single 'Since U Been Gone.' She instead claims that Davis bullied her to tears. Ah, the drama.

AN EVENING WITH DAY
Spencer Day, who came out in 2010 and has interviewed twice with SGN, is coming back to Seattle. The jazz-pop standout's new album, The Mystery of You, will be released on March 12 and he'll surely introduce material from it when he plays back-to-back nights at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley on April 9 and 10. Visit www.jazzalley.com for info and tickets.
