The World’s Worst Strip Club DJ part 6
A 6-part essay by Jerry DeCicca
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6One Sunday night, R.C.S. is on the stage and I play Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita”. When her act is over, she plows towards me with something on her mind.
“You know,” she says, “I only want you to play ‘La Isla Bonita’ when I’m wearing my sea shell top!” She’s serious and she thinks she’s cute.
I respond with the obvious, “How was I supposed to know that?”
She touches my shoulder, smiles, and says, “I’m not mad.”
Right before her next turn, she runs over to the DJ booth and has me search for songs, then rejects them over and over with “no…no…no”, causing me to be distracted when taking the current girl off the stage. An hour later, she does the same thing when it is her turn again. That morning, I threw up from drinking too much the night before. With my head hanging over the toilet, I thought about how much I didn’t want to go to work that night. Then Nelly’s voice and thump blasted my skull, “It’s getting hot in here/ So take off all your clothes” over and over, loud and unforgiving. By the time I finally leave bed for a shower at 4 pm, going to the Centerfold Club and listening to a bunch of drunk strippers and loud, crass music is the last thing I want to do.

bahaha theory jokes: my liberal arts is showing
TUMBLR WINS SOMETIMES.
I do not entirely disagree with this.
I would, however, like to point out that “Born This Way” is very post-modern, in that Lady Gaga is singing about being born with the identity that she has constructed for herself. Ie. Other people can’t tell you that you’re fake/artificial/putting on an act/just a plain nobody because your identity doesn’t conform to the identity that was assigned to you at birth/in childhood. Other people can’t tell you how you were born or who you were born to be; you’re the only one who can make those claims.
So I think the answer to this macro would be, “Actually, I’m a product of my engagement with those power relations, in which I retain the agency to define my identity in a way that pleases me.” Or something like that.
I just think “Born This Way” has a more complex message than a lot of people give it credit for.
…
It’s still racist, though.
See that’s just it. It’s ironically a critique of itself, she is saying “No one can give you an identity, here see I made my own” and then “But wait, I still have a few words and paint to go over so I will write and colour you and then we can all be our own selves just like the way I want”.
So post-modern or not, Gaga is on my shit list because of that AWFUL song.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkgdlprsCG1qa1c6so1_500.png)
