So I went to see the Lady Gaga concert in Raleigh on sunday.

Other than being totally awesome and amazing and sweet and crazy, I really liked the fact that she 1) Talked to us and 2) Everyone seemed to get along for the most part

Lady Gaga seems to be one of those rare pop idol's who readily embrace religion, and get what it's really about, at least to Christians. She kept mentioning how it didn't matter what sexuality you are, how much money you have, what you wear, etc., but that Jesus loves you any way. And quite honestly, I agree. She's such a huge supporter of Gay Rights, and she she's right through the fanatic Christians who bash them and say, "Hey. He who speaks loudest does not necessarily speak for the majority". One would think, "She would have to be the most anti- religion person out there! Look at her, she's nuts, she loves gays, she loves expression", but come on. Be realistic, like she is. I don't care how fucked up you say she is or her show is, she can see through what the general public seems to accept. This is true in a multitude of situations, Not all liberals are tree hugging hippies, not all conservatives are only concerned with profit and conformity, not all religions are only concerned with converting you or starting wars, not all athesits are concerned with disproving God. People form conceptions about people based on the most extreme or out spoken examples. Then, the opposite side of the spectrum forms just as extreme views to combat these other views. It's a waste of time, and it detracts from the basic human task of social togetherness.

I felt like I was friends with every single person there, no matter who they were, what their thoughts were, how they dressed, who they fucked, anything. Besides the music, Lady Gaga really is a cultural icon.
