Lady Gaga possesses creativity?

On a more serious note, it couldn't be near that overt or it'd be instantly shut down. Thus is the paradox of using the propaganda machine to dispel propaganda. You'd have to be incredibly subtle, and even then I doubt it'd be more than a soundbyte.

Sadly, I doubt that we can depend on the mainstream media to knowingly disseminate any consciousness-opening knowledge, psychotropic or not. This movement is pretty intrinsically underground.

This already happened once you know.

I think it varies through time and personality and method.

Of course she is creative whether you like her style or not. Being a broke and obscure artist merely says one doesn't have the stones to go big time or know how to reach their audience. Nothing laudable about being small-time.

I'll admit, she's more creative than most in the pop scene, but as a musician, I hope you know there is such a thing as a formula for a hit song. Like, literally, a formula with chord progressions and all.

I don't know much about her, but I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't write any of her music, or if she lip-syncs. Neither would it surprise me if she uses auto-tune software during recording sessions.

Whoever writes the stuff, whether it's her or somebody else, is being creative and using creative tools to do so.

But I wouldn't take shrooms just because Lady Gaga said to. :shrug:

I was kinda thinking about that. I always thought it would be cool to see a movie about some kids going to a music festival and showing everything they see and do while there. but then again i wouldnt want to be the one to bring that to mainstream :tongue2:

True, but I'm just saying that, AFAIK, there is no "of course" about her being creative, because she likely isn't. Many pop musicians are not involved with the creative process, like all them boy-bands back in the day for instance.

I think of a pop star as a collective organism. "She is creative" = a group of people being creative.

Question, which would cause more people to try a drug?
Lady Gaga says try it, it's great.
Big name politician says don't try it, it's evil.

Obviously Lady Gaga, or else the majority of people would be using drugs right now. :shrug:

If she can convince her fans to listen to her music, then fuck, there's no limit to what she can convince them to do. And AFAIK, she has a shitload of fans, worldwide.

You're missing the point. Some creative person is putting on The Lady Gaga Show.
Could that same creative person put on the Acid is Awesome Show with the same popular results?

The real question is: why do you think more people taking psys would change anything?

here is my theory:


lets say MTV Real world, TRL, and Jersey Shore and all that stuff starts promoting psychedelics...


it wouldn't necessarily make the impact you would want it to. Don't forget how HUGE of an influence other people are, and how much the way your attention is directed during a trip influences the depth of experience you have.


can you imagine some MTV idol being on acid? Would it shatter their idea of what is important to them? (their cribs, pimped rides, etc?)

I guess its possible, but ya know, TV often makes references to weed and lsd

even people who seem to support it


comedians make jokes about how weed gives you the munchies and makes you do dumb things

so that's how weed is perceived by the common ground

LSD makes you see flying elephants and turn into orange juice



so the use of it is promoted or at least mentioned a lot in the mainstream,

but exploring what it can really do for you is not



the general idea seems to be that whatever you experience on it should not be taken seriously because you were just :crazy2:




that's the reason I don't like most "stoner" rock. I think that name is inaccurate. I feel like surely, if they were getting REALLY high, they'd be a little more creative and hypnotic

country songs talk about smoking the funny stuff but then go on to sing about very ego-based, self-reflective tings such as i hope my ex-wife comes back to me. Very profound





the 60s were different. "Consciousness expansion" was the idea presented to the masses. Today it would be just "that funny stuff" or whatever

but the reason I tried psychedelics to begin with was the music I heard. I had to figure out where such deep lyrics came from and such, and I think THAT made psychedelics have a much deeper impact on me than they would most people. Or maybe its just my chemistry or personality.


either way, what you are presented with in life makes a big difference in how you perceive the experience. If you are alone, or around the right people, it could be profound. But it could also be terrifying, maddening, or just a fun drug and not much more. What about christians? they could see it as either the voice of god or possession by the devil



I think more important than promoting the use of drugs is simply promoting something profound. Lady Gaga might promote LSD, but in that world, Lady Gaga is music. She's alright I guess, if you're into that sort of thing,
but I don't think her music would be quite paradigm-shifting.


you might take a psychedelic and realize how stupid the stuff on MTV is...but if you were into all that stuff, and everybody on MTV also took psychedelics, then you might trick yourself into thinking that these other people on psychedelics also know whats going on and having ballin' cribs and pimp rides is part of the psychedelic lifestyle.



long story short: everybody is going to react differently, and it's really not going to destroy as many egos as one would hope. It already doesnt
