Not a big fan, but I like his song "Steady as she goes"

Rumor has it that they used to be a "thing." And i don't mean "thing" by siblings.

EDIT: After research, they WERE married, and Jack used to tell the media that they were brother and sister. This was before it got out that they were married. And then they were divorced. WTF.

I have never understood how people can't be up on pop culture....it is EVERYWHERE!

Lady Gaga is the new Madonna.

Supposedly Britney is the new Cher...

I thought the white stripe guy was out of his league. He was interesting, just out of his league. The U2 guy, The, did OK when he had all his extra gizmos to play for him as he strung his two cords. Now that other guitar player in the show, that doode could play. Seriously play. Actually, my old roommate's sister used to date him. And the pics/stories of the house where 4 was recorded was way cool.

You're talking about the movie, "It Might Get Loud?" The other guitar player was Jimmy Page.

I know there's a joke in there somewhere...it probably involves wanna-be rappers skiing into trees.

So uh, I shouldn't mention that I sort of like Lady Gaga? She's weird, and she scares me a little, but her music isn't so bad.

When she takes of the craziness she's actually pretty damn hot. Worth the risk I'd say

GI_Drewsifer, when's the last time you saw an eye doctor?

I never heard of her/him until this past Christmas when my younger brother's girlfriend mentioned the name.

Broken down, the name sounds like a prostitute trying to appeal to young children.

In terms of visual appeal, I like Britney Spears. However, I'd only recognize one or two of her songs.

Whats an eye doctor

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Lady Gaga is the new Grace Jones.

I dont mind Lady Gaga, shes weird, but there is way worse music. I find it rather ammusing when pop songs with rather dirty lyrics end up being popular with young children whose parts dont pay attention to it. I mean, what is this song doing on a kids cd in the store? http://www.metrolyrics.com/love-games-lyrics-lady-gaga.html

Here I thought I was let out - not knowing anything about pop culture and all - but then someone had to go and mention Jimmy Page. Now there is some pop culture that I can appreciate!

He/She/It is just trying to pick up where David Bowie left off.

Good, see if you can contact him, and teach him a second chord.

Hear, hear.

A friend of mine showed me this, when I thought she was a no talent hack. Lady Gaga before she was Lady Gaga:

She's clearly got skills, and writes her own stuff, so my opinion has been revised to gimmicky hack/attention whore.

Oh... my gawd... Just when I thought the world couldn't get any more disturbing.

Actually though, if you see any older pictures of her, she does look like a genuine woman. I don't know if it is smart or just sort of sad that someone needs to transform into a freak to reach real success in pop music.

How many of us are making a living doing what we love? How many of us are making the kind of insane $$ she is at 23 or 24 years old?

Man, woman, dog or cat, I think she's doing pretty well. Why else would we be discussing her on a hard-core automotive forum?

I'm not a big fan of her music, although it is kinda hypnotic. I do respect anyone who has the balls to get up in front of people and perform, especially if the material is original. I see her more of a performance artist, like Laurie Anderson with a big dose of confused sexuality thrown in.

Does Spears write her music? (hell, can she even read and write?) Do any of the other pop "Divas"?

It ain't my cup of tea, but I'd have to tip my hat to the GAGA.

That's actually the Raconteurs, but Jack White is the front man for both bands.

Um. Okay. This thread is about big noses, weird non-chins, and androgyny, not musical ability or marketing skills. Let's try to stay on topic. Quick! Manson or Gaga!?

Bowie? Poison? Motley Crue? Lou Reed? Perry Farrell?

I don't know, they all have blurred the lines at some point.

I actually saw M. Manson at an Ozzfest once. Musically they were surprisingly kick ass. Thankfully I was far enough away that I didn't have to look at him/ it.

and again i say, PIITB.

I refuse to sound like an old fuddy duddy here.

There is plenty of good stuff out there, just not in this current lowest of the lowest common denominator-driven pop scene. The death of the record industry has made disposable music much more disposable.

Thankfully, there is plenty of good stuff happening on the indie labels.
