Gaga's latest video, Alejandro, debuted yesterday. Check it out here or here. Much like the telephone release, this was basically a holiday. I am stunned -happily overwhelmed- by her creativity in all things. It was gorgeous and symbolic and just wonderful.

.

My mom -an avid, obsessive fan of the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac- always told me she thought it was sad that my generation would never have musicians that I would tell my kids about. Ones that I was an avid, obsessive, admiring fan of. But I do.

And for a long time my daughter will see Gaga as obnoxious music I insist on listening to over and over, year after year, singing loudly on car trips with the windows down. But one day when she is 19, studying abroad in a faraway country, a roommate she barely knows will play a Gaga song. And she will suddenly feel a combination of homesickness and love for her mother that she didn't know a song could bring. And the music will become special.

.

Also recently read this interview with Gaga. It's basically wonderful - I think whether you're a Gaga fan or not its very interesting. My favorite clip-

"...religion is very confusing for everyone, and particularly me, because there’s really no religion that doesn’t hate or condemn a certain kind of people, and I totally believe in all love and forgiveness, and excluding no one" - Gaga w/ Caitlin Moran interview for TimesOnline

I'm starting a new post segment called 'things that don't happen to Lady Gaga'.

Things that don't happen to Lady Gaga #1

Lady Gaga doesn't realize at 11:17pm at that while she responsibly went to the store and bought all of the supplies she needs to cook a delicious dish for her office potluck tomorrow, she has in fact forgot to make said delicious dish. She doesn't have to go through this inner struggle of wondering whether to stay up late and cook or get up early and cook.

But on the flip side I guess I never have to be like 'oh god! how did this bird get caught in my hair! noooooo'
