Gaga has never tried to define what it means to be an artist. Don't get it twisted.
How did you infer a paragraph's worth of meaning (might I quote: "I think") from one poorly written sentence? Put the stan card away and think rationally.
If he's not an "artist" than why discuss art in the first place?. I love Maroon 5 but he sounds foolish right there and the dragging was over and done with.
