LAST DECEMBER, Lady Gaga performed for Queen Elizabeth at the annual Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool.  Please don’t write to me and say that lots of trashy perfomers have appeared before the Queen. I don’t care if Satan himself tapdanced on a piano for the monarch. The point is, the Queen of England and the Queen of Nihilism should not be in the same room together, let alone shaking each other’s hands. If the Queen of England were responsible to her people she would not have shaken hands with Gaga or clapped at her performance. She would have appeared in a national address on television and asked all parents to ban Gaga from their homes. Instead, the Queen has done what leaders throughout the Western World have done. She has stood by, a mere spectator at the desecration of innocence and the tortured spiritual death of the West.

Reader N. writes:

There is a hidden significance to any performance for the Queen of England, although it isn’t as important as a few centuries ago. Ever since Henry VIII the English monarch has been the head of the Church of England. Yes, the Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader of that church, but the monarch is the titular head.

There is not an exact parallel between C. of E. and the Roman Catholic church, but evertheless the monarch is the head as the Pope is the head of the RC church. So in one sense,Gaga has performed for the “Popess” of the C of E. This cannot help but lend a seal of approval on her performances.

By the way, I recall wondering in the 1980s when people would realize that the performer “Madonna” was extremely damaging to young women, and therefore to society. I’m still wondering. I also foolishly thought that women pop stars surely could not get worse than “Madonna”…Gaga proves that notion quite wrong.
