I have a hot wife. I wax maudlin and say, "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for this woman. She is the reason I am here today." Kind souls think she "saved my life". This is not what I mean by it. I am here to show her off.

I do not have a hot wife. I feel obliged to attend that I may tip my hat to those who do. I may skip out.]]> Funny Stuff http://pwfisher.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=98 Tue, 6 Apr 2010 22:01:28 -0700 The Evolution of Gaga http://pwfisher.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=90

Vintage Lady Gaga Live at NYU - Captivated & Electric Kiss





Stefani Germanotta, now known as Lady Gaga, performing at Ultraviolet Live, NYU's annual talent show. She ended up coming in 3rd place. She's AMAZING. First song is Captivated, second one is Electric Kiss. Make sure to stick around and hear which contemporary artist the final judge compares her to. Awesomeness.

Captivated

One look and I'm done. One glance from your eyes and I'm captivated.
The taste of your skin, the warmth of your hungry lips has me so taken.

And I love the way you can make me dance from miles away.
When I'm with you, I'm so sedated; I'm captivated by you.

You're just like the wind 'cause everything moves when you're around it.
The sun is just like the sound of your voice in the morning when you light my world up.

And I love the way you can make me dance from miles away.
When I'm with you, I'm never jaded; I'm captivated.

I'll never stop believing in this crazy love we're leading.
Sugar, hold me close and make me sweeter; I need you, I love you.

So, please, show me that smile. Make me laugh for just a little while.
Then breathe me one breath: I only need one to fill the emptiness.

And I love the way you can make me dance from miles away.
It's been so long but now I've waited and I'm captivated.

Electric Kiss

We are a generation twisted by a myth.
Confused and ludicrous, holding onto love.
Consumed by all the pleasures in our midst.
Alive with all the lips we've kissed and losing all control.

Were gonna start a resistance. We want independence.
We're gonna give the world some of this
Electric kiss

I'm gonna change the world with my lips.
One voice forever, we'll live together
In peace, love, solitude and happiness
Electric kiss

Fame is our felony; we're so in love with it.
Some superstars and masochists who don't know where to go.
But the poets and the fighters of our time
Put down their weapons, end their rounds and know what they must do.

They're gonna start a resistance. They want independence.
They're gonna give the world some of this.
Electric kiss

I'm gonna change the world with my lips.
One voice forever, we'll live together
In peace, love, solitude and happiness.
Electric kiss

I'm gonna change the world with my lips.
One voice forever, we'll live together
In peace, love, solitude and happiness.
Electric kiss

[I love the subtlety of the message that poets are the ones with weapons to put down.]

Stefani Germanotta band live at The Bitter End 1/20/06-Hollywood





Hollywood

Listen, I've got the sickest ambition.
Deep in the mirror I am scared,
Don't know who the hell is there.
Yeah, I'm losing my reflection.

Obsession

The thing it's our new religion.
Each model and celebrity
Changes how I look at me.
Oh, don't tell me, don't tell me
I'll never be

A superstar 'cause I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Hollywood, Hollywood
In Hollywood, In Hollywood

Women, let's talk about our condition.
How beauty's a commodity,
Women don't get the best things,
Battered liver though, with poison.

I am the bill.
In the world without me, this vision.
Sure Hollywood's commercially amorous
But naturally, me? Quite ugly as hell.
Tell me I'm not sixteen!

Like a superstar, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood, Hollywood

Within a year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Like a superstar, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.

Within the year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
Like superstars, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood, Hollywood

At least, that's a simple way to pretend it works. In reality, though, unbold and unhighlight are the same thing, they each undo both bold and highlighting.
