Come to Mama along with Angel Down, Joanne, and Grigio Girls have an overarching theme of appreciating the time we are blessed with here on Earth rather than wasting too much time on technology or other inconsequential parts of life such as judging others etc. because those who are taken from us early (Joanne, Trayvon + other victims of police brutality and injustice) and those whose time on this planet is limited (Sonja) are not concerned with these things.
The point of that verse in Come to Mama is that the psychic guru is a spiritual man who finds his pleasure in catching fish at his own pace and spending life doing what he wants, but all the people around him are more interested in working stable jobs rather than what they love, because society has told them that is the way. Hence '
they all tell you that freedom must be bought' but he's not only caught the fish, he's caught the freedom to do what he loves, and pays no mind to the interference from others.
I love your taste!
at atrlers asking why Joanne is so important to the Germanotta's. Didn't they get the memo that she died at 19 because she was sexually abused, was traumatised and it flared her lupus? Gaga too was abused and tested positive for lupus. One of her friends also suffered complications with the disease. All of this has given her sleepless nights thinking she's going to die as a result of stress from the music industry. Stefani has recurring dreams that she's going to be shot like her idol, John Lennon because of how fanatic her base is. It was only upon writing and recording Joanne with Mark Ronson that she was able to talk about these dark issues - a musical therapist (likewise with Amy when they wrote Back to Black.)
