Oh and I completely agree with all the sentiments about music going to the crapper. Let me preface what I'm about to say by letting everyone know that I'm 23. In just a few decades, music went from a profound form of communication that artists would use to convey an idea or emotion to this monotonous manufactured quagmire of decadence and fame-whoring.

The crazy thing is Lady Gaga is extremely talented, but her talent is overshadowed by her gimmicks. I liken her to the Coors/Miller Lite of pop music. All gimmick and no substance. True "artists" draw you in with the flavor of their music, rather than relying on the mass media to force a cheap watered-down product down your throat. SRV didn't have a cold-activated can to let you know when he's ready to drink. Yes didn't have a vortex bottle. They relied on TALENT for fame!

I think Lady Gaga is so privy to how the system works, that she's transformed herself into an unstoppable pop-music phenom. She's taken the world by storm by beating the game, and not just playing it. My theory is she knew she would never get famous as Stefani Germanotta, so she crafted this super-obnoxious famewhore Lady Gaga who gives the public whatever they want... but she does it in such an obnoxious way, that it almost seems like she's punking pop music listeners. If that's the case, then she is less of an artist and more of a genius!

BTW Tom that first link you provided is awesome! Haha I just heard an announcer introduce SRV as "incandescent meteor breath." I've been getting into blues lately (I'm a huge fan of late 60's and 70's rock and progressive rock). Great music to relax and study to.

I couldn't agree more, Doobage. I try to tell my daughter that she's being "punked" by all this Lady Gaga shit. I figure it's the same as when I was her age my dad comparing my Village People LP to one of his Willie Nelson records. I grew out of it and so will my Lada Gaga-loving daughter (and hopefully everyone else). One can only hope.

BTW, I saw the same Heineken commercial...

It is so painful to watch light beer commercials. Bud Light's slogan is "drinkability." DRINKABILITY! Are you kidding me?! Anheuser-Busch (Which is now InBev no?) is basically acknowledging that their product is crap, but they're saying they have the least offensive tasting beer.

Guy: "Say fellow, how are you enjoying that Bud Light?"
Fellow: "Well it tastes aweful, but at least its drinkable."
Guy: "So is zebra urine!"

Don't get me started on the others. I can't believe it took a beer company that long to call out Coors/Miller/InBev for their cheap marketing ploys. But just like music that is all gimmick and no substance, the sheeple eat it up! It's unfortunate how inanity is greatly rewarded while real creativity and critical thought is about as popular as cancer.

Click on the link I provided in my post. Before she was Lady Gaga, Stafani Germanotta was a (seemingly) humble singer/songwriter who is talented on the keys. check out the performance.

My theory is she knew she would never get famous as Stefani Germanotta

Yup. I wouldn't say that she is "super talented", but she's definitely talented on the keyboards, in her vocals and in her song writing abilities along with her self-marketing abilities.

Regarding her outrageous costuming and stage antics, she is following in the footsteps of Liberace, Madonna, Elton John, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel (in the Genisis days), Alice Cooper, Ozzie, etc etc etc......The obvious danger in these endeavors is that they can overshadow and even minimize the underlying musical talents of these artists.

Exactly!

Here's some new ones:

• Blunt Force Llamas[/*]

• Engendered Species[/*]

• Global Swarming[/*]

BTW has anyone googled their suggestions? I'm surprised by how many of my suggestions have already been thought of/used for other things. I guess there's nothing new under the sun
