I feel like Manson covered that a bit better, at least with Mechanical Animals. Gaga, on the other hand, rocked that lightning bolt and Fame-soundalike in her early performances without a ton of substance to back it up. I think that might have potentially corrupted a chance Bowie had to respect her.
I want to hear it straight from the horse's mouth, but it's like the tackiest thing in interviews now to ask a person what they think of Gaga. That's one of the reasons people are getting sick of her - it's like, ****, I'm not here to talk about her. I understand that. But I would still like to know.

That all makes perfect sense I didn't even think about how gaga not backing up her bowie influences with actual bowie-related lyrics could effect his respect for her. Then again he might be perfectly fine with her but doesnt want to talk about it idk- i dont remember bowie ever speaking out about manson and it made me suspect he was indifferent towards him but this photo made his opinion pretty clear. If only gaga&bowie had a similar photo!
