Lady Gaga just announced her European tour dates for the fall this year. I asked a lot of different people if they want to come with me, and the general reaction I get when I posed this question was raised eyebrows. Apparently I don't come off as a Lady Gaga fan because I am definitely a rock fan, not pop. Truth be told, I only really became a fan after studying her closely for my master's thesis on music videos. (Have you seen the videos for "Paparazzi" and "Telephone" in succession? No? Do it.) The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Lady Gaga actually could fall under the umbrella of "rock and roll," which is why I like her so much.
