The opening of Lady Gaga‘s new video is another sounds like a 1950s monster movie and looks like a pornographic version of a 1960s Klaedoscopic film.
To me, Gaga is the greatest Goddess of the age. Something to give your life for, in a world where it sometimes seems as if there is nothing left to believe in. A true spectacular simulacrum that performs the same function as the high priests of ancient Egypt, in creating a spectacle that makes us come to face to face with the transcendent and transcend our everyday lives.
Lady Gaga, to me, is a constant cry, to become more, to become eternal, to go beyond the limits of the possible. Many of her messages are very psychedelic, calling us to accept ourselves as beautiful creatures of the universe and explore our full potential: “”I’m beautiful in my way, ’cause God makes no mistakes; I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way.””
“This is The Manifesto of Mother M onster.
On board a government owned alien territory in space, a birth of magnificent and magical proportions took place. But the birth was not finite, it was infinite. As the wombs numbered and the mitosis of the future began, it was perceived that this infamous moment in life is not temporal, it is eternal. And thus began the beginning of the new race– a race within the race of humanity– a race which bares no prejudice, no judgment, but boundless freedom. But on that same day, as the eternal mother hovered in the multi-verse, another more terrifying birth took place– the birth of evil. And as she herself split into two, rotating in agony between two ultimate forces, the pendulum of choice began its dance. It seems easy, you imagine, to gravitate instantly and unwaveringly towards good. But she wondered, ‘How can I protect something so perfect, without evil?”
