Three guys and a lady were sitting at the bar talking about their professions.
The first guy says " I'm a Y.U.P.P.I.E, you know... Young, Urban, Professional, Peaceful, Intelligent, Ecologist."
The second guy says "I'm a D.I.N.K, you know... Double Income, No Kids."
The third guy says, " I'm a R.U.B, you know... Rich, Urban, Biker."
They turn to the woman and ask her, " What are you? "
She replies: " I'm a WIFE, you know...
Wash, Iron, Fuck Etc
No Lady gaga fans?
Cmon, all of the shameless, self promoting hype of J Lo and none of the talent.
If you look at this video at about 6:00 in youll see this guy wearing the sheer purple ribbed socks so beloved of the iGentry.

Lena Horne just passed away @ 92. She had more talent, endured more social insult and obstacles than all these bobblehead sex fantasies of a 15 year old posted.
I saw lena in concert in the military. I double dated with my best friend JoJo White from DE-toit Michigan; A white guy,black guy with chinese/black/russian and filipina dates.
The usually aloof Lena made eye contact and seemed to smile and almost cry seeing us all together. she even posed briefly with us for a photo.
You just don't get that kind of a memory at a 'lady' gag gag concert.
For someone who supposedly has no talent Gaga sure can sing and play piano:

Remember, what's old was once new.
No doubt gag and the gang have some native talent. But you don't have to don whites and attend the New York Met to appreciate artists who have trained the voicing of their instrument and built a career with staying power.
People like Horne probably accumulated no more, if probably less financial wealth over a lifetime of performance than the latest bling bling hood rapping about booty and popping caps on the man or some Bimbo going through meltdown at 18 becaue of the incredible pressure.
I didn't say she had no talent. I'm sure some people looked upon young Mozart as a bit of a terror, though Salieri in truth was a great admirer and friend. Contemporary culture can be fickle if not cruel. Music and writing have a time, a generational audience and little truly wears well. A friend long ago didn't know who Kurt Wiel was and thought Jim Morrison's drinking song terribly clever and Paul McCartney's Wings over the World a great title and never heard of Fritz Lang.
Who knows? Madonna and Lady Ga Ga may yet shock my nieghbor, a retired art director. He described Marlene Dietrich walking into a very conservative restaurant in a man's Tux with a unbuttoned blouse and no bra.
