Lady Gaga: Finally, Some Decent HBO TV
I never quite understood the appeal of Lady Gaga until I saw HBO's Monster Ball Tour concert special from Madison Square Garden last night. It showcased her versatility as a singer, songwriter, musician, and dancer and not just another Madonna-wannabe novelty act. But her message of personal empowerment really came through loud and clear, punctuated by poignant behind-the-scenes lines like, "You know how many times I came to this arena, and now they're opening these gates up for us?" or "I still sometimes feel like a fucking loser kid in high school," or her description of the pushback she encountered at Nyu's Tisch School Of The Arts. A well-edited, well-directed Haus Of Gaga two hours on a pay channel I used to watch all the time and now hardly at all. Better programming, please.»

Generation X is 50? Whatever | Darragh McManus
We Gen-Xers are getting too old to wear ironic T-shirts or pine for Winona Ryder. And that includes you, Douglas Coupland
Generation X is generally defined as those born from 1961 to 1981, which means – I can scarcely bring myself to type these words – that the first Gen-Xers turn 50 this year.
God, I feel ill. The only social tribe I've ever identified with is over the hill, or at least on the cusp of it. Forget that I'm four years older than Jesus was when he founded a major religion; forget that my beard is getting more grey than John Major's famously monochromatic underpants. Xers are turning 50, and that makes me feel old. And while I'm near enough to the centre of the Gen-x timeline that the dreaded Five-o won't arrive for a while, I'm also near enough to the start that I can make it out, just about, in the distance.»
