Just stating facts. She's today's Madonna for today's generation. Or degeneration. Blah. Madonna was a rip off artist as well.

well said. i liked this article in the uk's sunday times... which of course unleashed a [well-manufactured] backlash by gaga fan[atic]s.

Although she presents herself as the clarion voice of all the freaks and misfits of life, there is little evidence that she ever was one. Her upbringing was comfortable and eventually affluent, and she attended the same upscale Manhattan private school as Paris and Nicky Hilton. There is a monumental disconnect between Gaga’s melodramatic self-portrayal as a lonely, rebellious, marginalised artist and the powerful corporate apparatus that bankrolled her makeover and has steamrollered her songs into heavy rotation on radio stations everywhere.

all in all, like every star, they are products... weaving and selling ideas, behaviors, material, sex, occultism, turpitude, demoralization, degradation, etc. which is dictated by the man-behind-the-man-behind-the-man who is financing, orchestrating, and directing what they want their little PR tool/puppet/slave to do.

here's a quote from a blogger i follow, referring to the "sleepers' awakening" by becoming privy to the occult symbology and analysis of gaga's music and vids:

Yeah, the pseudo-analysis is really a much a part of the viral marketing strategy as is Perez Hilton. Which is probably the ultimate reason for it- notice that we started seeing all of this stuff around the same time that MTV stopped playing videos.

Occult symbolism is everywhere, which means it's no longer occult. This was a hard post for me to write because I had to rewatch some of her (GaGa's) videos and some of the similar ones, and I just really find that imagery repellant. In fact this was a longer piece but I cut it down, since it really began to bum me out.

It's demoralizing on the face of it, and maybe all of the dopey symbolism is part of the spell- if you think there's some deeper meaning to parse, you'll keep rewatching it but it's the surface imagery that does the real damage to the psyche. And maybe that's the genius of it- everyone pretending to "expose" it is actually reinforcing the effect, making them complicit in the damage it does, particularly to young psyches.

like they stay, "you can look, but don't stare".

Mason - You are not alone (Original Mix)

I…
I used to think
that my life…
had to mean some-thing
but it turned out…
I had to find out the hard way
create my own meaning

I
I used to think
That I had to know
Every, Thing and Every one
But it turned out
that I had to start
knowing, … start feeling?
You are not alone, inside
You are not alone, tonight
Tonight
