It is a fact, the more you feed into popular culture the more likely you will be to get hits on your web site. So I am conducting a little experiment and adding something different. I'm going to talk about Lady Gaga, who I know little about, Madonna who I know even more little about and Superman who I probably know a bit a great deal in comparison. So the odd one out is actually not one but two. Which by the sound of it probably makes the title of this blog a little misleading. OK, it is, get over it.
The odd two out are Lady Gaga and Madonna and Superman could never be odd. On account he has been round more years than the other two, jumps buildings in a single bound and if he feels like it can even fly, in fact flying to him is like walking and singing to Lady Gaga and Madonna. Probably more so for Madonna because she's the second oldest and Lady Gaga is the youngest and I'd say the hottest. But if I were to think of something Rock Chick said to me then I'd be pretty careful about saying Lady Gaga is hot at all because Rock would say Lady Gaga has got a little extra bit. Personally I don't think Lady Gaga does have any extra bits otherwise she would not be called Lady Gaga. As for Madonna we all know she doesn't have any extra parts but she is pretty Gaga. I mean gaga in real life. It's remarkable how when you get to learn more about artists or famous people and the curtains are dropped on their real character you find either they are not people you would want to know or they are more than eccentric. Eccentric to the point of asking yourself why on earth did you like their music in the first place. Not that Superman is at all known for music, but if he was then he would be under the spotlight. But the reality is we all know a lot more about Superman in real life than M or G. Except for one thing Superman isn't real, which is a shame a blooming big shame because that would also mean Lois Lane was real as well and she is someone every man would like to meet, but we'd never manage to deal with the competition.
Now Superman's alter ego is the mild mannered Clarke Kent. A very nice chap if I may say so. He wears glasses and is always in a suit. Madonna's alter ego is: Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. The Ciccone would suggest she has a Italian heritage. In which case you have to admire Guy Richie who didn't end pushing up daisies in some remote field somewhere. Whilst Lady Gagga's alternate self is: Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Actually I quite like the name Stefani, but as some other pop heroine has this as a last name it would probably cause some confusion amongst all the teeny fans, who listen to such music. You see hormones and pop music usually lead to some kind of brain malfunction in teens that they forget a lot of stuff. Fortunately parents do try to keep them in the know by shouting their name at them as much as possible. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. You would of thought parents have learnt this lesson as well. On account they were once teenagers and they ignored their own name being shouted to.
Which brings me to the conclusion what is there in a name after all? And how come there isn't any just ordinary named people who are famous and looked upon with great respect. You know. Like Fred Blogs. Now if Fred Bloggs was actually called Lady Gagga it would be quite interesting if he'd be as famous as she is. On the other hand, I can hear Rock saying Fred Bloggs is Lady Gaga. Great. Maybe I should change my pop icon to someone different. Someone where there can be no gender question or ambivalence, yes. Like Boy George maybe.
