“I’m obsessively opposed to the typical.” Lady Gaga There are a lot of things you can say about Lady Gaga, but being ordinary isn’t one of them. This is yet […]
When Katy Perry first became popular, I thought she was kind of cool. Songs like “I Kissed a Girl” and “Teenage Dream” were edgy and she rocked pretty good in concert. Then all of a sudden she started with the lollipops, cupcake bra, and all of that lame crap, and I was like, “Huh?” And […]
I am sick of Lady Gaga’s new concert tour being reviewed by people who neither understand nor like Lady Gaga and her music. Screw the haters! Here is my review, by someone who gets it. A Little Monster! Lady Gaga’s current concert tour in support of her new ARTPOP album, dubbed “artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball,” […]
Lady Gaga is an easy target these days. In a culture that loves to build people up and then tear them down, after so much early success she has a big target on her back. Our society also likes to generalize about people, usually in a negative fashion, because that is easier than actually getting […]

There is a sociology professor at the University of South Carolina who is teaching a class about Lady Gaga and her impact on popular culture, social media, and fame.

People wonder why I like Lady Gaga so much. I’m not exactly her target audience, which is mostly late teens/early twenty-somethings and gay people. (Although, in my defense, I have heard more than one male newscaster on TV say they also think she is kind of hot looking!) What completely sold me on Lady Gaga […]

The One Type of Investment You Must Avoid
One major reason why people fear investing is that financial institutions have created so many different types of investment products that it is nearly impossible to choose among them. This is somewhat just the nature of a market economy, whereby every possible “flavor” of a product is offered for sale by companies to consumers. Unfortunately, […]
“I Hate My Job. It Will Always Be Agonizing!”
This third article in my series on negative and irrational thinking addresses two common types of cognitive distortions, taken from Scott Burns’ book “The Feeling Good Handbook.” I know none of you would ever fall prey to any such faulty thinking, but bear with me anyway! Emotional Reasoning The first type of negative and irrational […]
