yxi 4,999 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 “We had dinner as a family every night...The smell of a pot of fresh ‘gravy’ is one of the fondest memories I have from my childhood,” Lady Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, writes in the book’s forward. “We would say a prayer and then eat as a family. We ended each prayer in memory of Joanne, whose name has become the symbol of both of our family’s majestic accomplishments and of our losses along the way.” It’s also the name of the Grammy award-winning musician’s fifth studio album, her fourth to hit No. 1 when it debuted last month. “[Gaga] always felt that my sister’s artistry was being channeled through her,” Germanotta explains of Joanne, who was an artist and wrote poetry. “I thought it was kind of strange [at first],” he says, remembering when Gaga and her team would scream “Joanne” after saying a prayer before shows during 2011’s The Monster Ball Tour. “Now the whole world knows about my sister. I’ve been with [Gaga] on these radio promotion tours and she’s talking about how she died and how she was her inspiration,” he says. Germanotta and Gaga recently got matching tattoos of Joanne’s name in her signature. The proud dad is most moved by the track “Joanne” on his daughter’s latest album. It features emotional lyrics like: “And I’ll still love you even if I can’t see you anymore” and “Every part of my aching heart needs you more than the angels do.” “She knocked my socks off when she played that,” he says. “The first time she played it for me she came to visit my mother in an assisted living facility in New Jersey. She said, ‘I want to go see grandma.’ “So we hopped in the car and went to see her. She had her iPod and she played it for the first time for my mother. It was just such a touching moment for her. It really shows how much family means to her.” When she’s not performing, Gaga uses her voice politically. The “Born This Way” singer was a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, performing along the campaign trail and urging fans to vote. “Her influence has to do with equality, it’s treating people fairly and with respect — that’s where she’s coming from,” Germanotta explains of his famous daughter. “Her message is from the heart.” There’s also a slew of old family photos — none of which have been Gaga-approved, according to Germanotta. It’s payback for the photo she chose of him for her “Joanne” album. “I’m going to get even,” he says. “If you look on the inside of the album sleeve, there’s a picture of me and I hated that picture. “There’s a couple that she’s going to be upset about,” Germanotta adds. “There’s one geeky picture from high school.” More here: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/eats/lady-gaga-dad-dishes-new-cookbook-joanne-trattoria-article-1.2867968 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doncho 27,241 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 The story is so sweet. And that picture made me smile and cry (for real). I dont know why but something about Gaga as a child/teenager is really emotional. I feel like we really know her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
