Of...Lori, how have we not talked about this before? Of course we've done her songs forever at Jazzercise so musically I thought she was certainly interesting, especially since she's writing her own stuff. But what I really like about her is that she is into this performance art stuff. It's really fascinating and they're not just outfits, they're kind of statements. I'm really intrigued by it and I don't think it's just a gimmick. I think she's communicating something through a lot of these contraptions and it takes guts to do that.Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-8609333938458350062010-09-10T17:57:07.536-07:002010-09-10T17:57:07.536-07:00Linda,
I forgot the tell you but Ilove Lady Gaga....Linda, <br />I forgot the tell you but Ilove Lady Gaga..no not so much her music as her..She is totally this young do it her own way type of woman. I kave read several of her interviews and she comes from the Italian Catholic family and she is really in some ways very traditional but not at all... As young women go she is very deep and I think far older than her chronological years. I love how married she is to her music and fans...in a way that only someone that young can be. She is really brave too...I know it is weird but she is really cool!! Much more cool than Madonna..who just wanted to be controversial without any real meaning behind it.dllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07110818819083715313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-61752120383943884632010-09-06T21:55:15.162-07:002010-09-06T21:55:15.162-07:00BLW, it's been a lot of fun making fun of him ...BLW, it's been a lot of fun making fun of him for it. And what is exactly is with all the weird names in music? What if authors took on these kind of affected, showy names?<br /><br />Sherri, Funny how he'd go to see Lady Gaga (if he could get tickets) but somehow hasn't managed to know when Bruce Springsteen is coming to town all the years we've been together for me! Very suspicious.<br /><br />Nicki, I can't handle concerts myself. Crowds! (Shudder) Also I don't know about all this heavy dramatization of performances now. Something just seems really phony about all that. And I don't need all that to be entertained. Just music. I can see why her music would be great to run to!Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-78655147027217461312010-09-06T21:49:28.194-07:002010-09-06T21:49:28.194-07:00Maria, I can relate.

He does think my new obsession with B.O.B. and Eminem are strange but, hey, he didn't understand my adoration for Amy Winehouse either (the music not the person...)<br /><br />Michelle, You are right about the videos. My daughter looked up Alejandro and I was like blissfully ignoring the screen and suddenly I looked up and the dancers were totally mimicking sex. They may as well have been naked. There was a Britney Spears one recently that was basically an orgy. I don't mean to be all Tipper Gore about it but how can there not be some kind of rating on these videos. The kids just pop onto YouTube and, there it is, more than I ever would have wanted them to see, in a video.Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-49296522332922436452010-09-06T21:43:22.105-07:002010-09-06T21:43:22.105-07:00Chris, I agree that music is art. Also that taste ...Chris, I agree that music is art. Also that taste in music has nothing to do with the age of the listener.<br /><br />Stacia, I think a Lady Gaga lunchbox would go very well with his "Little Monster" fan club pin and poster, right?<br /><br />Robin, I loved her interview in Vanity Fair despite her idiocy about drugs because it's rare that you have someone just tell the truth. Just sit down with an interviewer and not play games, not be handled by a zillion marketers and have them run interference like they always did with Tiger Woods. So in that way, I thought it was a great interview. As an adult, when I got to her cocaine comment, I thought, weird that she's admitting to using an illegal substance once every six months in a major magazine, and I thought that if someone admits in print to that frequency it's probably a lot more frequent than that. Anything else she said about it I just thought was her opinion (drugs sparking creativity = drug abuse, right?). But in light of how her fans worship her and the many young fans there are, it is troublesome.Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-375318899610735732010-09-06T21:37:03.004-07:002010-09-06T21:37:03.004-07:00Karen, very funny that our Gaga households started...Karen, very funny that our Gaga households started with the husbands! But I guess no more unusual than me listening to Eminem with my kids (I'm so pathetic - but, hey, I bought it first!)<br /><br />Misery, I'm with you on Gaga's comments about drug use "sparking creativity." Bad, bad idea. Anything a person uses as a crutch for creativity most likely eventually destroy that creativity.<br /><br />TKW, Could anything have been more thrilling than, as a kid, listening to the Partridges playing JUST TO US alone and, maybe it's just me, but I thought maybe I'd end up married to David Cassidy. Not quite.Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-90132494867332440532010-09-06T21:31:48.593-07:002010-09-06T21:31:48.593-07:00Jennifer, I can't believe you like the Gratefu...Jennifer, I can't believe you like the Grateful Dead!

I like being surprised and I like the way she's open to other artists singing her music. I think she's real not just created by a marketing mastermind and I like the way she is the embodiment of performance art.

He has endless CD's from when we were in college that he cannot bear to part with. At the time, I am sure he could have traded them in for something decent. Now, they aren't even worth the price of the plastic they are recorded on.<br /><br />Regardless, we share pretty much the same kind of taste in music, although lately, I have been enjoying some mainstream Eminem and Jay-Z, and get strange looks from him...LOLMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869747946511793954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-58858555524792810692010-08-30T14:06:32.154-07:002010-08-30T14:06:32.154-07:00Having just read Misery's blog on Lady Gaga, s...Having just read Misery's blog on Lady Gaga, she is not high on my list right now. Anyone who endorses the use of cocaine in an interview knowing that teenagers will read it, is (looking for the word) stupid. Criminal. Irresponsible. She may be very talented. But young people idolize her and will do what she does. And what she just did was say that she uses cocaine recreationally for her art. In other words, she can start and stop. Well, Lady Gaga that is caca. So, it is tough for me to jump up and down with enthusiasm for her.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-43133698653708662142010-08-30T13:07:07.928-07:002010-08-30T13:07:07.928-07:00I'm just waiting for the Lady Gaga pillowcases...I'm just waiting for the Lady Gaga pillowcases and lunchboxes.
