Ya know, you can learn from Lady Gaga... Hijacked Into a Chat Thread!

I have granddaughters that listen to her; so am familiar with her music and stuff. I guess I am old school, why would you wear meat on your head, in order to bring awareness to something . . . I have a lot of trouble understanding this "new" world. I am all for freedom of speech and all that, but still, meat on one's head just is too hard for me to understand.

Another thing, she is paid HUGE amounts of money to wear meat on her head. I guarantee you, if I went out with meat on MY head, they would be calling the men in little white coats. She didn't wear meat on her head when she didn't get paid big bucks, I bet.

That WAS a lot of beef. I too have a rough time understanding the youth of today. However, after peeling that onion, I understand her a bit better.

You crack me up.

As long as it was fresh, it shouldnt have been stinky. I think fresh beef smells like butter...

I actually like my meat cooked about medium, but I agree with that statement. Butter......

People your debating about Gaga. She wears ridiculous outfits and gets paid a whole bunch of money to do it. She is the new material girl. Take it from a child of the 80s that knows the music biz. These people are savvy business people with carefully crafted images and the "message" is part of the image. It all come down to the bottom line.

Ummm, she's making a living doing what she is passionate about. Isn't that every artists dream? Yeah, there's marketing involved. So what. Having a passion doesn't involve. A vow of poverty unless you are a monk.

thanks. I think more people need to break it down and look UNDER the silly costumes and odd dresses. She is much more than meets the eye.

It was a political statement . Much better use of meat than mindless eating, imho. (I prefer mindful eating, but using it as a political statement works for me too.)

After the show, in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Gaga tried to explain that the dress was a political statement. Discussing how she'd been escorted to the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles by members of the U.S. military who had been discharged from the service due to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, Lady Gaga said: "It is a devastation to me that I know my fans who are gay ... feel like they have governmental oppression on them. That's actually why I wore the meat tonight.

DeGeneres, a famous vegan who often speaks out on behalf of animal rights, pounced on the topic while keeping her distance from the dress. "It's certainly no disrespect to anyone that's vegan or vegetarian," Gaga responded. "As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth. It has many interpretations, but for me this evening, it's 'If we don't stand up for what we believe in, we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're gonna have as much rights as the meat on our bones.'"

Gesturing to the Japanese Vogue cover, she snarled and added, "And I am not a piece of meat."
