Lady Gaga Won't Empower You For Shit

I WILL EMPOWER YOU!!!

I just had to post this write up about Stefani written by Drew Magary from Deadspin.com.  It's his interesting and enlightening take on Stefani and the events following Jamey Rodemeyer's tragic suicide.  

Here's an excerpt:

                                                                                                                                                                  

Gaga Quote from a Rolling Stone Interview: My fans are a revolution. They are living proof that you don’t have to conform to anything to change the world.

Bullshit. Complete lie. If you want to change the world, you DO in fact have to conform to things. Gaga conforms all the time. She writes pop songs that conform to traditional song structures. She conforms to the music business by working for a major record label. She conforms to the media cycle by appearing on 60 Minutes when a new album comes out. This is because she’s a professional, and that’s what professionals do. They make the compromises needed to do their jobs effectively.”
