Who Would Win in a Bar Fight #70
Madonna…
…or…
…Lady Gaga?
Addressing this controversy in this manner may seem a bit reductive to some. Especially given this batch of thinly veiled yet insightful and lucid comments from Gags responding to Madge’s mash-up of “Born This Way” and “Express Yourself”.
‘It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves to put other people down or make fun of them or maybe make mockery of their work,’…
…’And that doesn’t make me feel good at all. That just makes me feel like I’m not a good human being,’…
…’I don’t even want to fight back because it’s more important to me to keep writing music. Because that’s really all I care about, is the music.’…
…’Things are really different than they were 25 years ago, and that’s what makes Born This Way so relevant for me,’
‘We’re socially in a different place and it’s OK, we don’t have to all slice and hate each other anymore.’
Lefsetz Shoots And Scores!
Yeah I still read Bob Lefsetz even though the music biz is over; he can still be entertaining.
I’d been wondering what to say about the choice of Madonna as Super Bowl entertainment. Take it away Bob…
But I’m just looking forward to the day classic rock dies. When there are no oldsters overcharging and keeping Live Nation in business. When the ubiquitous MTV stars fade away and radiate. That’s what people think music is today, a bunch of old farts overcharging for you to see them mime to tape. Maybe Madonna and Cirque are a perfect match, they’re both canned.
And what we’ve learned in the last few years is that these ancient performers are no match for the game. Yes, recently the Super Bowl has been anything but a snooze. It features tension, drama, adrenaline, all the stuff music used to deliver without really trying.
But now most musicians are just trying to get rich. Tell them they could make what an NFL star does and they’d suit up. Hell, that’s what I want to see, that’s what everybody’d tune in for, put Madge IN THE GAME! Let’s see her run her little tucas around trying not to get hit. Better yet, let’s see her punch out some three hundred pound lineman.
Yahtzee! Although, I would have gone with an alternate spelling -tukas- but, Bob’s got the Yiddish street cred (remember the Sunshine Boys though…words with “K” are funny!).
But, I could totally see Madge in shoulder pads.
Yeah so, she’s already done that.
Anyway, the Madonna set is going to be pre-taped. Here’s an idea; since the NFL insists on trotting out a string of wrinkle rockers for the big game…why not get the newly reunited Black Sabbath? All the original members, they could play live without fear of a nipple slip and…
…and, you would have a genuine Geezer on stage!
Who Would Win In A Head Cutting Contest? #2
Fred Durst…
…or…
…Madonna?
Madge got the nod in the last one of these, is she winner and still champion?
Oh yeah, click pause on the music player before playing the YouTubes…or not.
