How silly. I haven't even thought about Gaga in recent months. Months back I was busy deconstructing her, debating the credibility of her work and her messages, ultimately realizing she was little more than the latest flash in the pan, entirely contrived, shallow commercial artist that momentarily has the bulk of mainstream attention. Now, I don't even bother deconstructing her or listening to her interviews. I think less and less of her music, because really there's not much substance there to keep your attention anyway. When I see her in a blog, lately rather than post my opinion and ask people why they take her so seriously, I can barely muster enough interest to read more. And her fashion, which used to shock, now seems painfully attention-whoring and honestly embarassing to watch. I say all this to say I think Time Magazine is way off, way late and way out of touch with this one.
