An old friend of mine just wasn't that in to Adam Clayton. She thought the bassist was somewhat smug, more than slightly cocky. His offhand remarks just weren't her thing. She prefers Bono because of his warmth. While I'm a total Edge girl, I still dig Adam because he's cool.
One of my favorite Adam moments comes from a MuchMusic special from the Elevation Tour called "U2 Does Much" and hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos. Adam had sat quietly through most of the interview, as he so often does, letting Bono and Edge do most of the speaking.
A few segments in, Stroumboulopoulos asked Adam about any inspiration he's had from fans. Seated, as everyone else was, on a backless stool, Adam slowly brought the mic to his face and said, "Do you have a chair with a straight back? These are really uncomfortable. But what were you saying? It sounded very interesting."

Disarmed, Stroumboulopoulos tried to get his footing back, re-asking the question. Adam looked at him and said, "I'm a bass player, I don't worry about stuff like that."
That's the moment that truly made me an Adam fan. Of course he doesn't worry about stuff like that because, it seems, Adam doesn't worry about much. Watching Adam on stage and in interviews, he knows who he is and is perfectly happy off to the side, doing his thing.
If I could learn anything from Adam, it would be to live that effortlessly, to not be so wound up in saying or doing the right thing. Bono refers to Edge as being the Zen master but I believe it's Adam who's the closest to that blissful state as he circles the Vertigo stage, does fashion spreads for Rolling Stone or floats in the Ganges on holiday. Adam's found his niche, his place in the world, and seems to be perfectly content.
On his 46th birthday, wherever he is and whatever he's doing, I'm sure Adam's found bliss.
