Amendment to an Amendment

After much thought I have decided to remove the mean and nasty blog post I wrote about Lady GaGa. It was unlike me to directly dis an artist just because I don't like her. That's not my style and I hear that other people do indeed get the type of things she offers as being empowering and motivational. So who am I to knock that? Especially when there are so many other way more morally horrendous musicians out there that I never blink an eye at. I guess what it comes down to is that I'm not a fan. I have my reasons and that's fine. I don't like her music at all and that should really be the main reason, as a music critic that I don't like her. So instead I will post these two finely crafted videos about her and Kanye that perfectly sum up my feelings. I will however keep the below videos in the post. In case you were wondering what I think is really badass.
You wanna watch some cool shit? Watch this:

We have to expand civil and political rights in countries that are plagued by poverty, hunger, and disease. But our pleas will fall on deaf ears unless democracy actually improves people's lives while weeding out the corruption that too often stands in the way of progress.

Our foreign policy must reflect our deep commitment to help millions of oppressed people around the world. And of particular concern to me is the plight of women and girls, who comprise the majority of the world's unhealthy, unschooled, unfed, and unpaid. If half the world's population remains vulnerable to economic, political, legal and social marginalization, our hope of advancing democracy and prosperity is in serious jeopardy. The United States must be an unequivocal and unwavering voice in support of women's rights in every country on every continent.
