And I thought I’d have to grow old and gay
with Madonna alone! Mother
of masks, of reinvention, who likes to say:
“Just thinking about sex is sex” and whose lovers
Wilt in the shade of her gilded vanity
Until you came alone, well-versed
in Warhol and Rilke and the cold depravity
of life without dance, daring, fashion, who burst
Like some pop Pegasus, some demented diva,
The chastity belt that is America, every bit the Muse
She once was, singing “Vogue” and “You give me fevah,”
Still your own Medusa, affirming “Never lose –
Never compromise.” Yet I’m a guilty fan
Feeling every bit like I’m seeing another woman.

“When you make music or write or create, it’s really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you’re writing about at the time. ”
— Lady Gaga

I researched this quote because, at first, I couldn’t believe Gaga would advise sexual irresponsibility. It’s a relief, however, that Mother Monster is *not* advocating unsafe sex per se, but instead, the authenticity of pure creation. She talked with Anderson Cooper on “60 Minutes” – how gay is that duo! – about her own creative process which, shockingly, sometimes involves whiskey and cannabis. She’s obviously a believer in busting open the doors of perception.
yes… this coming from the same woman who said she is scared to have sex with people because she thinks they will steal her creativity through her vagina. god, i love her.
