Oy vey, enough Lady Gaga!
I listen exclusively to pop radio on my commute because apparently I have the musical taste of a 12 year old, but whatever, I will always love Britney. Lady Gaga though? Enough! Enough pandering, enough theatrics, enough! I listen to pop stations out of North Carolina, South Carolina and sometimes even Georgia and Lady Gaga markets her country song “You and I” (I don’t include the unnecessary umlaut) to each state, which I find offensive, mostly because I don’t like the song, but also I feel like one state is enough. I get to hear her singing to men in all three states if I don’t change the station fast enough. It’s not Sweet Home fill in the blank state. John Denver didn’t sing about majestic river valleys in all states. Katy Perry doesn’t sing about Arkansas girls. I suppose Gaga even has a version for DC and Puerto Rico, especially since she pays such close attention to underrepresented peoples. Radio, can’t you just play her fun dance music, like Bad Romance and Poker Face? And that’s my daily rant.
