Ska Lagos Jew Sun Ra

In Hitler's defense, he supported a lot of Wagner and operay type stuff. In fact the Carl Orf Classic "Carmina Burana"(A work that has done infinitely more for the application of vocals in music than somebody like Lady Gaga could) was composed entirely within Nazi Germany. Albeit, not directly linked to Hitler, I'm assuming it was a lot trying to push for those types of musical sensibilities. So, even if Hitler was bad for a lot of things, and his persecution of Jews would rob the world of many of the finest songwriters we've ever known, he wasn't entirely bad for music.

So, no, he's not as bad as Lady Gaga at least in one regard...

...Anyway. I'm sidetracking from my point even continuing to post on this. Barring my rude sarcasm, my original statement should hold relevance to anybody sympathetic to a music industry where a good 90% of the most cutting artists are frankly just not making money, or garnering attention.

To bring back to head, I know pop probably isn't the most popular genre for hardcore music people this type of forum generally attracts. However, I was just reinforcing a point made by somebody else that maybe there's more going on than just Lady Gaga, and if nothing in particularly interesting is going on then why is she always the topic of conversation?

I feel the "quit bitching about it" response is rather harsh considering how we're speaking as fans(or least fans of some of the byproducts of) of a multi-billion dollar industry, and certainly if Gaga is, admittedly, overexposed, we could try maybe rather than throwing dead wood on the heap, bring some exposure to new things.

Maybe the world isn't a place for opening minds, but this particular forum very damn well can be.

Either that, or we can continue to discuss the deep intricacies of the shape of Lady Gaga's snot as she sneezes onto a kleenix and respond to anyone who says "what's the point of it?" respond with "Well, tough ****, that's how things are!"
