Interesting Google Interview with Lady Gaga

Whether you love or abhor her music, you cannot deny her iconic presence on the world stage.  She has tremendous influence in pop music, culture, and fashion.

I like this interview because it shows how technology – and specifically YouTube — has democratized 'fame' and allowed the masses to rise to wealth and acclaim or notoriety (i.e., Rebecca Black).

It's a very long interview but I actually sat through the whole thing.  (The downside to this video is that the interviewer is quite annoying and keeps fawning over Gaga; fake laughing at every single comment Gaga makes.)




I didn't know this prior to the interview, but her new song "The Edge of Glory" is a tribute song to her deceased grandfather and it refers to the moment right before you pass from this temporal world.  I think it adds a whole new dimension to the song, which I had honestly heard on the radio and didn't care for much but am now curious to see the music video.
