If nothing else, he offers good examples of the fact that even the biggest musical legends dealt with a significant amount of criticism in their day, in many cases much more than Gaga's had to face. People romanticize the past, they remember everything about what made an artist legendary now but forget all the **** they took at the time. The over-emotional fans would do well to keep that in perspective.
Hate on the Gaga all you want. She may be at the edge of glory, which drives some people insane. But you can't deny that as much she is about fantasy and the artifice of pop stardom, she's also all about living life to its fullest.
