“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 […]
In a word: everything! She is just hot, hot, HOT! 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. When I hear him discuss Lady Gaga, though, it’s obvious that his interest in her is […]
No, I’m not referring to Lady Gaga wearing another kooky outfit, although she certainly does that often enough. I’m talking about Lady Gaga making another hugely insightful observation about life. I was watching the album release show for her new ARTPOP CD, and she was being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest, as you’re probably already […]
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 […]
What Happens If My Mutual Fund Company Goes Broke?
Some of the people I assist with financial planning have been astute enough to ask the following question: “So you recommend Vanguard as an excellent mutual fund company to use for my investments. Well, what happens if Vanguard goes bankrupt? Shouldn’t I spread my money around to more than one mutual fund company? You’ve told […]
Social Security Will Be There For You When You Retire
People worry a lot about Social Security collapsing before they retire, and understandably so. The system is rapidly running out of money and Washington seems to have no collective will to pass reforms to shore it up. It’s a mess, or, as they say in Texas, if not, it’ll do until the real mess gets […]
You Will Never Be Happy Without This One Critical Thing
Throughout the ages, philosophers have sought the key to happiness. It has been endlessly discussed, argued about, and dissected. In more recent times, popular culture and social media are likewise fixated on how to live a better and happy life. Is the key to happiness seeking pleasure? Is it money? Could it instead be focusing […]
