It's possible Gaga has never even heard of it. Unless her/her team are aware he would never get in trouble. If it's real... maybe she thought he was a moron so she never promoted it  There are vetting processes for books to be published, and the guyâs an academic. He also mentions her in the acknowledgments. If he has faked everything, donât you think she would have sued him, and the book would no longer be in print? (That said, his referring to Jo Calderone as âJoeyâ irked me.)

Iâm trying to remember, I think at the time it came out I must have heard about it on Twitter, but we didnât have access to the actual text without buying it. As you say it was never promoted anywhere, Gagaâs never mentioned it, nobody reviewed it, plus the cover is weird and âinterdimensional conversationâ makes it seem like it might be imaginary . I think nobody bothered to spend the money to see what it was... the author hugely dropped the ball I guess because if heâd properly told stans he had a whole book about ARTPOP in-depth heâd have moved numbers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franch Toast 25,224 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 PS I just looked up the press online. Itâs peer-reviewed. They publish unconventional scholarly manuscripts, which this book definitely is, and theyâre non-profit and committed to open access publishing, so they probably donât care about money and numbers. Anyway, the book is legitimate. The author is on Twitter if someone wants to contact him. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell is this guy Just now, Stephen said: well good to know but he's not that good of an academic if he thinks the lyric is COONTS I think that was a play on words/sounds/the lyrics to get around typing out a huge naughty word... a "c*nt". That she (and he) would be perceived as jerks/annoyances by those they can't please.  âĄđČ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga defined herself, and not necessarily in relationship to the expectations of publicists or managers or industry higher-ups. She defined herself. Said quite frankly: this is a part of me, the pop artist in the Warhol sense of the word. This is who I am and I am going to seek the affinity and collegiality of Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson who will ultimately reject what I am doing, but I am the one doing it, not you. Thatâs what pissed everyone off: a pop star off her chain, an outspoken woman, a beautiful creative artist no longer afraid to just âbeâ and embody the âborn this wayâ ethic that skyrocketed her through the stratosphere to become the most important pop star since Freddie Mercury   Maybe I have to read it now and convince myself it's real chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I imagine that the press editorial board, as well as the external peer reviewers, were not Gaga stans either and thus were reviewing the academic portions of the book, i.e., his philosophical debates. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
