And though there was no Toto and there were no flying monkeys, Elton John was there to drive home the point that Adams certainly wasn’t in Kansas anymore. Actually, it was Long Island City, New York, to be specific, on the set of Adams’ video for “Answering Bell,” the second single from his second solo album, Gold. The clip, shot Friday by director Luke Scott (Train, Deana Carter), is loosely based on L. Frank Baum’s classic novel about… Read more »
