From Bowie to Gaga: How Glam Rock Lives On
Quote:
Your epilogue follows four decades’ worth of glam “aftershocks.” One of the biggest characters in that story is Lady Gaga. You position her as a sort of 21st-century “digi-glam” star in the same vein as Bowie, but you aren’t particularly impressed with her music.
As a pop phenomenon, and visually, she’s very successful. I don’t find her music very interesting—I don’t think it’s as rich and wide-ranging as the music Bowie made. Her natural instincts lean towards the Queen—or, really, Meatloaf—bombastic end of things. There’s a kind of schlockiness that she seems to naturally gravitate towards.
What I found, in writing about Gaga, is that I was most impressed with her as a thinker. She’s made amazing statements that are very honest anatomies of the psychology of fame. I don’t even need to say that what she’s proposing is madness. She puts it right out there to consider. She says, “I want people to be psychotic in their pursuit of fame.”
