Lady Gaga
As anyone who lives near Toronto’s Queen West district is fully aware, the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards just happened over the weekend, dramatically disrupting everyone’s lives for the sake of a giant teenager-baiting street party/live television event.
I’ve been to a number of these over the years in a professional capacity so I wrote about some of the best and worst MMVA performances for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Lady Gaga & Aaliyah
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
It was this week in 2008 when Lady Gaga first introduced herself to us with her debut album. Joe Strummer of The Clash was also introduced to the world in a literal sense — it was his birthday. Oh, and Aaliyah died.

Religious protesters want Lady Gaga to go to hell
On any given day, in any town or city, anywhere in the world, there’s probably some crackdown/protest/sinister bullshit happening that’s attempting to prevent people from rockin’ and dancin’.
Basically, the people behind these crackdowns hate music and they hate life and they’re assholes.
Anyway, in lieu of the latest round of anti-Lady Gaga protests in the Philippines and such, Sarah was tasked to find other examples of The Man cracking down on rock ‘n’ roll.
It turns out there were no shortage of examples, from Elvis Presley to Eminem to The Beatles to you name it. Basically, the government is afraid of musicians.

Rihanna, clearly airbrushed
Some musicians write about love and others write about politics. Then there are those who write about things. As in stuff, trinkets, baubles, items, junk, bits… y’know, stuff.
Sarah tracked down a bunch of the best for the AOL Music Blog. Amongst them: Weezer, Rihanna, Toby Keith and Kanye West.
