“ In a world of Britneys and Mileys, we need a Lady Gaga. So, good for her. More, please. But let’s not treat this as something new or groundbreaking. The world of entertainment - and especially the world of pop music - always produces, at least once a decade, someone like this; someone who wants to flaunt* all conventions; who wants to go out looking as insane as she can possibly look in order to get people to look at her and talk about her. And these figures almost always come up through the ranks of the club scene or the punk scene or the drag scene or even the hippy scene. In other words, it’s about taking elements from the fringe or the counterculture and shoving them in front of the eyes of the public where everyone can ooh and ahh and call her crazy and call her an artist. ”
