My Dumb Opinon Re: Lady Gaga
Due to the wonder that is Youtube I happen to have my finger on the pulse just a touch more then I used to, thus rendering my name (Behind in the Times) just a touch more obsolete then when I started out. Thus I am well aware of two things. One is that Lady Gaga is a rather famous pop singer and the second is that she is completely...well...gaga. Gaga in this case meaning the same sense that one Eric Idle used in Election Night Special when he mentioned that a district has gone "...completely gaga." Long explanation...too long. The bitch is crazy, folks that's what I'm saying. Honestly, I have to compliment her in that regard for having the originality to loose her mind before at the beginning of her popularity.
Too many times it's the opposite way. The Beatles! They started out as a group of normal-looking guys (albeit in need of a haircut by 1964 standards) playing guitars and singing about the rough day they had just had. A few years later they were smoking pot, wearing neon-colored uniforms, calling themselves the egg-man or the walrus and then eventually splitting up long enough for John Lennon to piss off Richard Nixon and for Yoko Ono to piss of about half the Beatles fans in existence. Anyway the point was they released some material that made people go "uhhh...what?"
Another example, Madonna...the singer I mean. She started out as a fairly normal-looking (by early 80's standards) girl singing about material possessions and feeling like a virgin and whatnot. A few years down the line she starts wearing pointy bras and doing things on video that...well...things that virgin material girls just aren't supposed to DO on camera. Not that anyone was really complaining, mind you.
Mel Gibson, Britney Spears, Tom Cruise, Lindsey Lohan...the list goes on and on, but this entry has to end sometime and the caffeine is quickly wearing off, so I'll close by saying that it's really nice to see a celebrity start their career with a complete mental breakdown so that we don't have to read about it in People Magazine and pretend to be shocked. From here she could either a) steadily get more normal b) stay just as crazy or c) flip even more out and end up driving a flaming school-bus through a Bay Area McDonald's. Either way we won't be surprised.
That's my dumb opinion. How 'bout yours?
