I will say that Lady Gaga’s gender-bending turn as a late 1950’s ‘greaser’ is very odd, even for her. She’s trying to channel John Travolta.

“Lady Gaga” is not “interesting”, is not “talented”, is not “unique”, is not anything other than one of the most successful marketing campaigns of the early 21st century.

I fully admit that this probably says more about me than about her, but for over a full year I assumed that “Lady Gaga” was a Saturday Night Live meme, along the lines of “Isn’t-That-Special Church Lady” and “Needs More Cowbell”.

I really hate moments of realization like that. Being presented with evidence that I was right all along and everything really is as terrible as I had previously assumed is more depressing than satisfying.
