This is admittedly a recurring theme for me this week - first Jason Greene and now Lady Gaga: I bow to the fearless among us.
I was, not for the first time with Gaga, absolutely blown away by her life, verve, nerve, creativity, talent, bizarre beauty, stage presence, and unreal stage show on the Grammys this evening. I turned to Chris at one point and asked how she manages to top herself, every single time. She is the epitome of "Be Independent of the Good Opinion of Others", the quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer and subject of last Tuesday's blog. She not only doesn't care what you and I think, it doesn't even seem to occur to her to bother caring. Being swayed by our opinions isn't even on her radar.
I LOVE that about her. LOVE. As good as she is (great singer, dancer, writer, etc), it is her audacious, bodacious, cheeky, confident courageousness that I adore and covet. I pray that I learn this lesson well enough to adopt it before I am old and gray. Until then, I'm going to put in the earphones, listen to "Poker Face" and pretend I'm brave enough to bounce around in skimpy alien suits with a face full of glitter.
