Pop goes the Gaga...

It seems that I only feel the need to blog when I'm concerned or irritated about something. So hear goes my latest rant....

Ok, so most of you know that I am completely out of touch with the real world and don't know much about pop culture, by choice, mind you.  We don't have cable or even bunny ears for the TV.  I usually get my daily dose of news on the web.  I don't listen to local radio or anything.  I do peruse myspace and the web a bit just to keep up with some current stuff.  I'm telling you this because you need to know that I am not a reliable source of "what's hot."  I get perplexed easily when it comes to things mainstream.

So, lately I've seen these advertisements for Lady Gaga, and I know that some of you have added her as a friend on one of the social networking sites or have put her songs on your profiles, so I would like to know what it is people like about her.  I just don't get it. 

I decided to see what the hype was all about and I listened to her songs and watched some of her videos earlier.  She's kinda creepy. 

No, she's real creepy...

Did I understand her lyrics correctly?  Does she "want to take a ride on your disco stick?"

What the heck?  Really?  I suppose she'll never be known for her profundity with song titles like, "eh, eh", "Kaboom", "Shake Your Kitty" and "I Like it Rough".  

I was actually disgusted and even more shocked and appalled at the videos.  What a freak show.  She's not selling music... I can tell ya that right now.  I have to admit was a bit embarrassed for her and I felt really sorry for her.  How lost....

This is why I stay as free and clear from pop music as I possibly can.  It just puts me in a bad mood.  I know I'm getting old when I'm asking questions like, "what is this world coming to?"  

So, I'm sorry if I just bashed one of your favorite new songs or "artists", (if you can call her that).  I just don't see any talent other than possibly her impressive flexibility.  

But seriously, if there is something that some one really likes about her, comment back to let me know.  I would truly love to hear it....
