Please come have a look at my post today at the Harvard Business Review on Lady Gaga. It’s a reflection of liberty, culture, and America’s dour mood.
Thanks to Debbie Millman for giving me a quick course on Lady Gaga. And to Ben Malbon, Google Lab, and BBH New York for the Chrome ad in question.
From Harry Potter to X Men to Lady Gaga, an intensification of the right
to monstruosity. Innocuous despite a few muggles being offended?
Yes, I agree. Narcisistic (although you don’t ask)? Yes. Uplifting inasmuch
as it restores free expression (and music as a domain of exploration!)
Hardly.
