It REALLY seems like we had a theme this week, no? "Pop that makes you confident enough to burn."
I'm impressed at how kinetic JPG was for you and I love how you describe it; it's amazing how art can have that effect. I, too, am a big fan of change; one of my many aborted LJ posts outlines how I exist most intensely in periods on the precipice, in the moment OF change (not the before or after but the change itself). Something about the anticipation while having already taken the first step makes the whole world vibrate. And the confidence...yes. The confidence to pull off not only clothing, but personality -- that's the teddy bear in the exhibit, right? JPG's self-honesty, even from such a young age, changing but keeping your integrity. JPG himself is a role model, man ---- external not as changing internal, but as an expression thereof. You know I'm not into fashion except as an art form, but maybe that says something about me in and of itself...hm. (I doubt any of that makes sense but this post has been very thought-provoking, hahahaha)
Anyway! I looooooove this song. I love the electric guitar screaming in the choruses and the rawness with which she cries/sings the lyrics. The whole thing just makes me want to dance -- it might be a little easier to dance to than Skylar, but it's still seriously fucked enough to be honest. Does that make sense? WHATEVER MAN :D
Also: the song finished, and the only other Madonna song I have on my computer (Skin from 'Ray of Light') started, and that's a pretty badass song I totally forgot about. So yay, two Queen of Pop songs in one! haha
