Was talking to WB.

Actually I'd called him just to say hello.

We've known each -


Sorry was just talking to Pup. Was asking him how it was (and this isn't a slam against Lady GaGa) -  anyway -  was asking him how it was that people could be all gaga over Lady Gaga and then dump on Madonna.

I mean - duh - 

He started out by saying that each age had to claim the new of their own (even it it wasn't)


Then I started to think about Madonna and Gaga. Compare. Then it came. While Madonna was serious about her transformations?

Gaga is ironic.

We'd come into the Age of Irony.

Super saturated with a culture where even reality isn't.

After the Age of Greed?

After the Age of Self Absorption and then Self Loathing.

After the Age of Unfullfilled Expectations.?

It's the natural progression some would say.



After all these years of thinking that the current generation was comformist to the max?



I find that they've been in rebellion all along.


But now I'm thinking that it's time to put the cynisim away.

The new age, The Age of the Big Storms, may be upon us.



We're going to need hope.

  1. I was going to get another video for Counting Crows cover of Big Yellow Taxi. Then I got to thinking on it and wellllll considering the post? "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til it's gone..."

    This works.
