"content": "\u003cp>From time to time, I remember with surprise that I'm not 16. While I'm not concerned about getting older (see: \u003ca href=\"http://www.thecoveteur.com/beatrix-ost/\">Beatrix Ost\u003c/a>), I do find the process full of nuance and surprise, and I want to pay attention. We age so slowly that we simply don't notice it's happening most of the time, only stopping to observe that friends, parents, and celebrities are all getting older, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.craveonline.com/mandatory/1246543-__trashed-8#/slide/1\">so perhaps we are as well\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a teenager, I swore I'd never be \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/why-do-pop-culture-fans-stop-caring-about-new-musi-55805\">one of those terrible adults who believes it's their generation who wrote the best books and played the best music\u003c/a>. How depressing (and boring)! At age 38, I've kept that oath going strong. Contemporary culture is full of awesomeness (\u003ca href=\"https://kellyleeowens.bandcamp.com/\">Kelly Lee Owens\u003c/a>! \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/shows/dopequeens\">2 Dope Queens\u003c/a>\u003c/em>! \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/01/10/why-twitter-is-still-the-best-place-for-breaking-news-despite-its-many-challenges/#16602ec426ab\">Twitter as a breaking news source\u003c/a>! \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/black-heart-emoji?utm_term=.gq6Gpa6D8#.djPk6E5Xw\">The black heart emoji\u003c/a>! \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/yes-the-handmaids-tale-is-feminist\">The Handmaid's Tale\u003c/a>\u003c/em>!) Still, I'm beginning to have a sneaking suspicion that it's definitely possible to age out of pop culture. And if it is, should we resist or simply depart gracefully?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Society relentlessly reinforces the notion that at a certain age we begin to find pop culture irrelevant (and pop culture feels the same way about us). So, when I must google \"what does smh stand for?\" or my 30-year-old friends can \u003ca href=\"http://www.mtv.com/news/2060441/abbi-broad-city-best-gifs/\">find gifs faster \u003c/a>than me, or I still don't like \u003ca href=\"https://www.snapchat.com/\">Snapchat\u003c/a>, I've taken to exclaiming, \"I'm getting old!\" And of course I am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-79529 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/awesome.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"279\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm definitely comforted by the fact that the very idea of pop culture has been a little hazy and fickle from the get-go. Keith Anderson writes in \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em>, \"By and large, both entertainment and art appeal to niches, cultural tribes that range in size from tiny to smallish.\" The teenage years and early 20s are spent in actively seeking our niche, using what we're into and what we know in order to create and define a self that is still unformed, confusing and mysterious to us in many ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The culture that we love and consume reflects who we are and what we value. We amass a tapestry of interests and preferences in order to understand and explain ourselves. Looking back, though, I also wonder if we cling more tightly to those things when we are younger. Hence, the brilliant fanaticism of teen aesthetics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being young is wonderful and fun in countless ways. But it's also difficult and unmooring. I'm convinced that each era of our life holds an inexplicably different sort of texture within the experience. The books, movies, music, art, television, and technology that we're spending time with are an essential part of that texture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-79524 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/melrose-place.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notions of youth and age, relevance and irrelevance, Generation X and our beloved (and rapidly aging) Millennials have always been about \u003ca href=\"http://www.prosar.com/inbound_marketing_blog/communicating-with-and-marketing-to-millennials-and-gen-z-in-2015\">marketing\u003c/a> anyway. It's important to separate ourselves from that type of cynicism and limitation, to find what we love and relish it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is the fear of aging actually a fear of losing our connection to the world? Rather than viewing age as something that inevitably renders us uncool, perhaps as we get older we can appreciate that a certain confidence, insight, and open-mindedness sets in, if we let it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/buscemi-kids.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79539\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/buscemi-kids.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like things now that I never would've liked in my teens or 20s. My tastes have softened, diversified, and deepened tremendously. My patience is infinitely more practiced. My critical thinking is definitely a tad sharper. I have a desire to understand context, challenge myself, and be eclectic. My curiosity is more informed, but no less present. I still want to hear the newest bands and cultivate my latest \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN4ooNx77u0\">guilty pleasures\u003c/a>. On top of all that, I have 38 years of looking, listening, and thinking that enriches my experience of it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2015, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/09/ryan-adams-taylor-swift-1989/406744/\">Ryan Adams covered Taylor Swift's album, \u003cem>1989\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. In \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2015/9/23/9384571/ryan-adams-1989-taylor-swift-review\">this interesting piece\u003c/a> discussing the two albums, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/tvoti\">Todd VanDerWerff\u003c/a> notes, \"If Swift's \u003cem>1989\u003c/em> is the album of someone just about to turn 25, is it any surprise that Adams just entered his 40s?\" I don't unequivocally adore Adams's covers or anything (cough cough), and there was never a time I got so into a Taylor Swift song I almost drove my friends off the road (ahem). I'm fascinated by how different the exact same words can be when sung from a different vantage point in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>M Train\u003c/em>, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-admin/post.php?post=18157&action=edit\">Patti Smith\u003c/a>, who writes gorgeously of how time passes and how we age, tells us:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\"I believe I am still the same person; no amount of change in the world can change that...I believe in life, which one day each of us shall lose. When we are young we think we won’t, that we are different. As a child I thought I would never grow up, that I could will it so. And then I realized, quite recently, that I had crossed some line, unconsciously cloaked in the truth of my chronology. How did we get so damn old? I say to my joints, my iron-colored hair. Now I am older than my love, my departed friends. Perhaps I will live so long that the New York Public Library will be obliged to hand over the walking stick of Virginia Woolf. I would cherish it for her, and the stones in her pocket. But I would also keep on living, refusing to surrender my pen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I actually started working on the idea for this article two years ago. When I recently came back to my draft, I was an entirely different person. The entire article changed. I had two years worth of different things to say. The real beauty of a deep and lasting engagement with our culture and with ourselves is the evolution of all involved.\u003c/p>\n\n",

While I'm not concerned about getting older (see: \u003ca href=\"http://www.thecoveteur.com/beatrix-ost/\">Beatrix Ost\u003c/a>), I do find the process full of nuance and surprise, and I want to pay attention. We age so slowly that we simply don't notice it's happening most of the time, only stopping to observe that friends, parents, and celebrities are all getting older, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.craveonline.com/mandatory/1246543-__trashed-8#/slide/1\">so perhaps we are as well\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a teenager, I swore I'd never be \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/why-do-pop-culture-fans-stop-caring-about-new-musi-55805\">one of those terrible adults who believes it's their generation who wrote the best books and played the best music\u003c/a>. How depressing (and boring)! At age 38, I've kept that oath going strong. Contemporary culture is full of awesomeness (\u003ca href=\"https://kellyleeowens.bandcamp.com/\">Kelly Lee Owens\u003c/a>! \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/shows/dopequeens\">2 Dope Queens\u003c/a>\u003c/em>! \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/01/10/why-twitter-is-still-the-best-place-for-breaking-news-despite-its-many-challenges/#16602ec426ab\">Twitter as a breaking news source\u003c/a>! \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/black-heart-emoji?utm_term=.gq6Gpa6D8#.djPk6E5Xw\">The black heart emoji\u003c/a>! \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/yes-the-handmaids-tale-is-feminist\">The Handmaid's Tale\u003c/a>\u003c/em>!) Still, I'm beginning to have a sneaking suspicion that it's definitely possible to age out of pop culture. And if it is, should we resist or simply depart gracefully?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Society relentlessly reinforces the notion that at a certain age we begin to find pop culture irrelevant (and pop culture feels the same way about us). So, when I must google \"what does smh stand for?\" or my 30-year-old friends can \u003ca href=\"http://www.mtv.com/news/2060441/abbi-broad-city-best-gifs/\">find gifs faster \u003c/a>than me, or I still don't like \u003ca href=\"https://www.snapchat.com/\">Snapchat\u003c/a>, I've taken to exclaiming, \"I'm getting old!\" And of course I am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-79529 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/awesome.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"279\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm definitely comforted by the fact that the very idea of pop culture has been a little hazy and fickle from the get-go. Keith Anderson writes in \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em>, \"By and large, both entertainment and art appeal to niches, cultural tribes that range in size from tiny to smallish.\" The teenage years and early 20s are spent in actively seeking our niche, using what we're into and what we know in order to create and define a self that is still unformed, confusing and mysterious to us in many ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We amass a tapestry of interests and preferences in order to understand and explain ourselves. Looking back, though, I also wonder if we cling more tightly to those things when we are younger. Hence, the brilliant fanaticism of teen aesthetics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being young is wonderful and fun in countless ways. But it's also difficult and unmooring. I'm convinced that each era of our life holds an inexplicably different sort of texture within the experience. The books, movies, music, art, television, and technology that we're spending time with are an essential part of that texture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-79524 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/melrose-place.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notions of youth and age, relevance and irrelevance, Generation X and our beloved (and rapidly aging) Millennials have always been about \u003ca href=\"http://www.prosar.com/inbound_marketing_blog/communicating-with-and-marketing-to-millennials-and-gen-z-in-2015\">marketing\u003c/a> anyway. It's important to separate ourselves from that type of cynicism and limitation, to find what we love and relish it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is the fear of aging actually a fear of losing our connection to the world? Rather than viewing age as something that inevitably renders us uncool, perhaps as we get older we can appreciate that a certain confidence, insight, and open-mindedness sets in, if we let it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/buscemi-kids.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79539\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/buscemi-kids.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like things now that I never would've liked in my teens or 20s. My tastes have softened, diversified, and deepened tremendously. My patience is infinitely more practiced. My critical thinking is definitely a tad sharper. I have a desire to understand context, challenge myself, and be eclectic. My curiosity is more informed, but no less present. I still want to hear the newest bands and cultivate my latest \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN4ooNx77u0\">guilty pleasures\u003c/a>. On top of all that, I have 38 years of looking, listening, and thinking that enriches my experience of it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2015, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/09/ryan-adams-taylor-swift-1989/406744/\">Ryan Adams covered Taylor Swift's album, \u003cem>1989\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. In \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2015/9/23/9384571/ryan-adams-1989-taylor-swift-review\">this interesting piece\u003c/a> discussing the two albums, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/tvoti\">Todd VanDerWerff\u003c/a> notes, \"If Swift's \u003cem>1989\u003c/em> is the album of someone just about to turn 25, is it any surprise that Adams just entered his 40s?\" I don't unequivocally adore Adams's covers or anything (cough cough), and there was never a time I got so into a Taylor Swift song I almost drove my friends off the road (ahem). I'm fascinated by how different the exact same words can be when sung from a different vantage point in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>M Train\u003c/em>, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-admin/post.php?post=18157&action=edit\">Patti Smith\u003c/a>, who writes gorgeously of how time passes and how we age, tells us:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\"I believe I am still the same person; no amount of change in the world can change that...I believe in life, which one day each of us shall lose. When we are young we think we won’t, that we are different. As a child I thought I would never grow up, that I could will it so. And then I realized, quite recently, that I had crossed some line, unconsciously cloaked in the truth of my chronology. How did we get so damn old? I say to my joints, my iron-colored hair. Now I am older than my love, my departed friends. Perhaps I will live so long that the New York Public Library will be obliged to hand over the walking stick of Virginia Woolf. I would cherish it for her, and the stones in her pocket. But I would also keep on living, refusing to surrender my pen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I actually started working on the idea for this article two years ago. When I recently came back to my draft, I was an entirely different person. The entire article changed. I had two years worth of different things to say. The real beauty of a deep and lasting engagement with our culture and with ourselves is the evolution of all involved.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"title": "Why Does Katy Perry Find Interviews So Very, Very Difficult?",
"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.katyperry.com/\">Katy Perry\u003c/a> may sound meaningful as hell when she's telling the downtrodden they are \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGJuMBdaqIw\">metaphorical fireworks\u003c/a>, but over the years, the pop star has repeatedly struggled during interviews with both articulating, and not contradicting, herself. Sometimes, it seems like Perry's mouth starts moving before she's figured out what point she's trying to make, and the results are baffling on fairly regular occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent example emerged this week in an interview with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://ew.com/music/2017/05/08/katy-perry-new-album/?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter\">Entertainment Weekly\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>in which Perry was asked whether or not her new album would include a \"reaction\" to Taylor Swift's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo\">Bad Blood\u003c/a>\" (a song widely purported to be about Perry attempting to wreck a T. Swift tour via the medium of dancer theft). Perry's response to this relatively straightforward question was quite literally amazing. She tried to answer the question, while not answering it, while also attempting to deflect, while also God Bless and also nuh-uh, honey! This thing needs to be read to be believed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Well that’s not my question to answer — if it’s about me. I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person. One thing to note is: You can’t mistake kindness for weakness and don’t come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. And that’s not to any one person and don’t quote me that it is, because it’s not. It’s not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story. But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don’t forget about that, okay, honey. [Laughs] We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It’s not even about me! It’s about everything that I see out there that I digest. I think there’s a healing in it for me and vulnerability. If people want to connect and be healed and feel vulnerable and feel empowered and strong, God bless and here it is.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This isn't the first time Katy Perry has answered a question in a manner that made little to no sense. Back in 2013, in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=240760441\">interview with NPR\u003c/a>, Perry criticized other pop stars for getting naked, while also recalling that she too gets naked sometimes, but not really, and she will take her clothes off one day, but only when she's desperate and old, but the reason she can't right now is because she doesn't have the body for it and... What the hell was she trying to say here again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Like females in pop -- everybody's getting naked. I mean, I've been naked before but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it's interesting to see... I'm not talking about anyone in particular. I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like put it away. We know you've got it. I got it too. I've taken it off for -- I've taken it out here and there. And I'm not necessarily judging. I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don't always have to use that card. Maybe when I’m 35 I will. I don’t need to do it now, because I’ve got great songs. If I get super-desperate, maybe I will then…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's not over yet! Perry \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/katy-perry-57-1237134#QyHSGV96RHIJfc8u.99\">went on\u003c/a>: “Actually, I did take all my clothes off for \u003cem>Teenage Dream\u003c/em>. I was on a cotton-candy cloud, showing my… back. I don’t have the body for it. If I had like, Rihanna’s body, I’d take my clothes off. But I don’t. I just hide my body in a way where you think I have it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing to see here!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F57P9C4SAW4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that same year, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a8596/katy-perry-interview-january-cover/\">\u003cem>Marie Claire\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Perry tried her darnedest to express her religious beliefs (which apparently encompass nothing and everything simultaneously), and somehow made her belief in God about the fact that other people are scared of saying no to her, because she's a celebrity:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I believe in a higher power bigger than me because that keeps me accountable. Accountability is rare to find, especially with people like myself, because nobody wants to tell you something you don't want to hear. I actually don't trust people who start to turn on me because they get scared of telling me the truth. I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's a side note, but that \"deep connection with God\" got Perry into \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-39650913\">extremely hot water\u003c/a> with Hindus around the globe last month, when she posted \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BTDJ-gkD2HC/\">this image\u003c/a> of the Goddess Kali to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/katyperry/\">Instagram page\u003c/a>, with the caption \"current mood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-79891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/KP-Goddess-800x1123.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1123\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, sometimes it's the shortest of sentences that cause Perry the biggest headaches. Like in February, on the Grammy's red carpet, when she talked about shaving her head -- clearly referencing Britney Spears' \u003ca href=\"http://www.nickiswift.com/13904/britney-spears-breakdown-even-scarier-thought/\">2007 breakdown\u003c/a> -- twice. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/britney-spears-responds-to-katy-perrys-mental-health-joke-1975330\">told Ryan Seacrest\u003c/a> that taking a break between records was \"Fantastic. And I haven’t shaved my head yet.” That same night, Perry also declared: \"The only thing left to do is shave my head, which I’m really saving for a public breakdown.

Sometimes, it seems like Perry's mouth starts moving before she's figured out what point she's trying to make, and the results are baffling on fairly regular occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent example emerged this week in an interview with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://ew.com/music/2017/05/08/katy-perry-new-album/?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter\">Entertainment Weekly\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>in which Perry was asked whether or not her new album would include a \"reaction\" to Taylor Swift's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo\">Bad Blood\u003c/a>\" (a song widely purported to be about Perry attempting to wreck a T. Swift tour via the medium of dancer theft). Perry's response to this relatively straightforward question was quite literally amazing. She tried to answer the question, while not answering it, while also attempting to deflect, while also God Bless and also nuh-uh, honey! This thing needs to be read to be believed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Well that’s not my question to answer — if it’s about me. I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person. One thing to note is: You can’t mistake kindness for weakness and don’t come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. And that’s not to any one person and don’t quote me that it is, because it’s not. It’s not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story. But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don’t forget about that, okay, honey. [Laughs] We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It’s not even about me! It’s about everything that I see out there that I digest. I think there’s a healing in it for me and vulnerability. If people want to connect and be healed and feel vulnerable and feel empowered and strong, God bless and here it is.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This isn't the first time Katy Perry has answered a question in a manner that made little to no sense. Back in 2013, in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=240760441\">interview with NPR\u003c/a>, Perry criticized other pop stars for getting naked, while also recalling that she too gets naked sometimes, but not really, and she will take her clothes off one day, but only when she's desperate and old, but the reason she can't right now is because she doesn't have the body for it and... What the hell was she trying to say here again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Like females in pop -- everybody's getting naked. I mean, I've been naked before but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it's interesting to see... I'm not talking about anyone in particular. I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like put it away. We know you've got it. I got it too. I've taken it off for -- I've taken it out here and there. And I'm not necessarily judging. I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don't always have to use that card. Maybe when I’m 35 I will. I don’t need to do it now, because I’ve got great songs. If I get super-desperate, maybe I will then…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's not over yet! Perry \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/katy-perry-57-1237134#QyHSGV96RHIJfc8u.99\">went on\u003c/a>: “Actually, I did take all my clothes off for \u003cem>Teenage Dream\u003c/em>. I was on a cotton-candy cloud, showing my… back. I don’t have the body for it. If I had like, Rihanna’s body, I’d take my clothes off. But I don’t. I just hide my body in a way where you think I have it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing to see here!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Accountability is rare to find, especially with people like myself, because nobody wants to tell you something you don't want to hear. I actually don't trust people who start to turn on me because they get scared of telling me the truth. I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's a side note, but that \"deep connection with God\" got Perry into \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-39650913\">extremely hot water\u003c/a> with Hindus around the globe last month, when she posted \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BTDJ-gkD2HC/\">this image\u003c/a> of the Goddess Kali to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/katyperry/\">Instagram page\u003c/a>, with the caption \"current mood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-79891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/KP-Goddess-800x1123.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1123\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, sometimes it's the shortest of sentences that cause Perry the biggest headaches. Like in February, on the Grammy's red carpet, when she talked about shaving her head -- clearly referencing Britney Spears' \u003ca href=\"http://www.nickiswift.com/13904/britney-spears-breakdown-even-scarier-thought/\">2007 breakdown\u003c/a> -- twice. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/britney-spears-responds-to-katy-perrys-mental-health-joke-1975330\">told Ryan Seacrest\u003c/a> that taking a break between records was \"Fantastic. And I haven’t shaved my head yet.” That same night, Perry also declared: \"The only thing left to do is shave my head, which I’m really saving for a public breakdown. I’m down for that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incidentally, this is what Katy Perry's haircut looks like on the cover of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH9ilfAZHOs\">new single\u003c/a>.

Inside, a country theme dominated, with Cyrus posing in cowboy boots, short-shorts and a neckerchief. In the accompanying interview, Cyrus confirmed that her new look wasn't merely coincidental -- her sound and music tastes have also shifted back to her roots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I... love that new Kendrick [Lamar] song [“Humble”],\" she said. \"'Show me somethin’ natural like ass with some stretch marks.' I love that because it’s not 'Come sit on my d**k, suck on my c**k.' I can’t listen to that anymore. That’s what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much 'Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my c**k' -- I am so not that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEzrTZnSKiQ\">what a difference three years makes\u003c/a>...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miley was called out for this swift dismissal of hip-hop culture by a variety of critics, most notably \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/zblay\">Zeba Blay\u003c/a> at \u003cem>Huffington Post\u003c/em>. In a piece titled '\u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/miley-cyrus-discarding-hip-hop-is-the-least-surprising-thing-ever_us_590b793fe4b0104c734cf502\">Miley Cyrus Discarding Hip-Hop Is The Least Surprising Thing Ever,'\u003c/a> Blay wrote: \"Cyrus’ new image... serves as a striking example of how easy it is for white artists to exploit and then discard black and hip-hop culture in order to stay relevant... The \u003cem>ease \u003c/em>with which Cyrus throws hip-hop under the bus validates every piece of criticism back when she first debuted her hip-hop persona.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cyrus distancing herself from the hip-hop culture she has been accused of appropriating since her \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangerz\">\u003cem>Bangerz\u003c/em>\u003c/a> album dropped in 2013, coincides quite strikingly with the launch of her little sister, Noah's new pop career.

You should know going into this that Bannon and his co-author Julia Jones somehow managed to reduce a play that was originally two and a half hours long, down to a little over 20 minutes. They titled it \u003cem>The Thing I Am,\u003c/em> re-purposed Coriolanus as a gang member (who, in his death, unites the Crips and Bloods -- but of course!), and massacred Shakespeare's original text.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those of you brave enough, you can watch the full video here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://nowthisnews.com/steve-bannon-hip-hop-rap-musical\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, for those of you wishing to avoid the stomach-churning awfulness of this thing, we decided to sit through it for you and make some notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What follows are the five most startling aspects of \u003cem>The Thing I Am.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. BANNON AND JONES TRYING AND FAILING TO BE \"STREET\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know that cringe-worthy thing when white kids from the suburbs try to be \"street\" and use lingo they've heard in their favorite rap songs? Bannon and Jones' screenplay sounds a bit like that, only 100 times more offensive because THEY ARE ADULTS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. \u003cem>THE THING I AM\u003c/em> KIND OF STICKS TO THE ORIGINAL \u003cem>CORIOLANUS\u003c/em> TEXT, BUT THEN... TOTALLY NOT\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most jarring elements of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> (aside from all the flagrant racism) is the juxtaposition of Shakespearean-style language and what Bannon and Jones consider street slang. The two styles aren't integrated, but instead thrown at each other and awkwardly mashed together at random.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more strangely, there are entire sections of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> that steal phrasing from the original \u003cem>Coriolanus\u003c/em> text, only to pair it with flourishes of gratuitous cursing (or references to crack), for reasons that are entirely unfathomable. At one point, Volumnia and Virgilia conduct a conversation that is a super-watered down version of \u003cem>Coriolanus\u003c/em> Act 1, Scene 3, except in Bannon and Jones' version, Volumnia inserts a \"Bitch, please!\" into the exchange -- presumably because that's how Bannon and Jones think black people talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's another one of the most astonishing examples of this happening:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CORIOLANUS\u003c/em> ORIGINAL TEXT (Act 1, Scene 1):\u003cbr>\nMarcius: “He that depends upon your favors swims with fins of lead. Hang ye! Trust ye? With every minute you do change a mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>STEVE BANNON LITERARY NIGHTMARE SPIRAL:\u003cbr>\nMarcius: “Peep game, boy. To count on them for favors is to swim with fins of lead. So f**k you! Trust you? Ha ha ha! With each passing minute, you change your common mind. You cry against the other -- crackers, blood, crip, po-po, pol, the rich it doesn’t matter. N*ggas; awe keeps.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At any given moment, it is impossible to know whether to be offended, disturbed or grateful for the sheer accidental comedy on display in this thing...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. THE STAGE DIRECTIONS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY A 10-YEAR OLD BOY\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's difficult to know what Bannon and Jones were thinking when they came up with these directions (but we'd bet... not much):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Coriolanus stands out awkwardly among the upright citizenry, like a WWF wrestling hero, tight tee, muscles bulging\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>A wall of monitors, monstrous talking heads chewing the scenery… A Chris Matthews 'Hardball' type is setting up to interview Coriolanus\u003c/em>.”\u003cbr>\n[Which begs the question: What does Steve Bannon have against Chris Matthews?!]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Aufidius says nothing. He checks the gun barrel, then picks up a rod and begins cleaning it. As he talks, the gun transforms: it’s deadly, it’s sexual\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is this what life looks and sounds like inside Steve Bannon's brain? It would explain so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. MOST ASTOUNDING LINES\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all fairness, most of the lines of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> are pretty astonishing, but the following get special mentions for being particularly jaw-dropping / offensive:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rider: “Coriolanus is king o’ the day. The bitches are going off crazy like frogs, and the wiggers are kissin' his ass.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriolanus: “Why in this house n*gger suit would I sit here to mad-dog Dick and Jane?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gangsta Voiceover: “Let’s unite and don’t gangbang, and let it be a black thing for the little black girl and homie Rodney King. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If LAPD hurt a black, we’ll kill two. Pow, pow, pow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriolanus: “You who’d be less chicken-shit than Uncle Tom, who loves a noble life more than a long…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guard 1: “Who let the po-po beat him? You think the groans of bitches or your virgin daughter… will blow out the fire intended for your city?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crip Soldiers: “Red rum! Red rum! Red rum!”\u003cbr>\n[We imagine that only stealing from Shakespeare was exhausting for Bannon and Jones, so they threw some action from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1sRAd_i2W4\">\u003cem>The Shining\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in for good measure. Thanks, guys!]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. AWARD-WORTHY ACTING\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from an appearance from ex-\u003cem>Daily Show\u003c/em> favorite, \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1117791/\">Rob Corddry\u003c/a>, we don't know where \u003cem>Now This\u003c/em> found the actors for their table-read, but the level of discipline on display, in the face of some of the worst dialogue ever committed to page, is award-worthy. It's impossible not to be impressed by the sight of an entire room full of people battling successfully to keep straight faces after shouting: \"Peace out, cuz!\" at one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special mention must go to the actor playing Junius Brutus, who delivers the lines “You motherf**ker!” and “The people are pissed,” with a Shakespearean gravitas that suggests both lines qualify as reasonable dialogue in this context. Somebody get this man an Academy Award! Bannon and Jones, on the other hand, would undoubtedly be better suited for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.razzies.com/\">The Razzies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You cry against the other -- crackers, blood, crip, po-po, pol, the rich it doesn’t matter. N*ggas; awe keeps.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At any given moment, it is impossible to know whether to be offended, disturbed or grateful for the sheer accidental comedy on display in this thing...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. THE STAGE DIRECTIONS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY A 10-YEAR OLD BOY\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's difficult to know what Bannon and Jones were thinking when they came up with these directions (but we'd bet... not much):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Coriolanus stands out awkwardly among the upright citizenry, like a WWF wrestling hero, tight tee, muscles bulging\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>A wall of monitors, monstrous talking heads chewing the scenery… A Chris Matthews 'Hardball' type is setting up to interview Coriolanus\u003c/em>.”\u003cbr>\n[Which begs the question: What does Steve Bannon have against Chris Matthews?!]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Aufidius says nothing. He checks the gun barrel, then picks up a rod and begins cleaning it. As he talks, the gun transforms: it’s deadly, it’s sexual\u003c/em>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is this what life looks and sounds like inside Steve Bannon's brain?

MOST ASTOUNDING LINES\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all fairness, most of the lines of \u003cem>The Thing I Am\u003c/em> are pretty astonishing, but the following get special mentions for being particularly jaw-dropping / offensive:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rider: “Coriolanus is king o’ the day. The bitches are going off crazy like frogs, and the wiggers are kissin' his ass.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriolanus: “Why in this house n*gger suit would I sit here to mad-dog Dick and Jane?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gangsta Voiceover: “Let’s unite and don’t gangbang, and let it be a black thing for the little black girl and homie Rodney King. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If LAPD hurt a black, we’ll kill two. Pow, pow, pow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriolanus: “You who’d be less chicken-shit than Uncle Tom, who loves a noble life more than a long…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guard 1: “Who let the po-po beat him? You think the groans of bitches or your virgin daughter… will blow out the fire intended for your city?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crip Soldiers: “Red rum! Red rum! Red rum!”\u003cbr>\n[We imagine that only stealing from Shakespeare was exhausting for Bannon and Jones, so they threw some action from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1sRAd_i2W4\">\u003cem>The Shining\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in for good measure.

It's impossible not to be impressed by the sight of an entire room full of people battling successfully to keep straight faces after shouting: \"Peace out, cuz!\" at one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special mention must go to the actor playing Junius Brutus, who delivers the lines “You motherf**ker!” and “The people are pissed,” with a Shakespearean gravitas that suggests both lines qualify as reasonable dialogue in this context. Somebody get this man an Academy Award! Bannon and Jones, on the other hand, would undoubtedly be better suited for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.razzies.com/\">The Razzies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But for months he’s been on a quest for a Bay Area “holy grail” that’s less biblical and more chemical: the laboratory where Grateful Dead acolyte Owsley “Bear” Stanley made LSD that “expanded the minds” of tens of thousands during the Summer of Love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.tombutt.com/forum/2016/16-12-18.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lengthy, in-depth post\u003c/a> on his official website, Butt explains that he wants to officially \u003ca href=\"http://www.tombutt.com/forum/2016/16-12-18.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">locate the house \u003c/a>in Point Richmond where Stanley and his lab partners — Tim Scully, Melissa Cargill and Don Douglas — manufactured hundreds of thousands of tabs of LSD that they distributed to those wanting to “turn on” back in 1966. An avowed history buff who says he never used the drug, Butt plans to declare the spot a historical landmark. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know how the saying goes: “If you can remember it, you weren’t there” — and Butt’s problem is that no one remembers exactly where the former LSD lab was, not even the people that lived there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After all, they were taking a lot of acid,” Butt told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/12/23/richmond-mayor-goes-on-hunt-for-former-lsd-lab-of-king-of-acid/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>East Bay Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a> back in December. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the summer of 1966, Stanley, by then the Grateful Dead’s pioneering sound engineer, set up an LSD lab in the basement of a rental house near the Chevron Refinery.

But for months he’s been on a quest for a Bay Area “holy grail” that’s less biblical and more chemical: the laboratory where Grateful Dead acolyte Owsley “Bear” Stanley made LSD that “expanded the minds” of tens of thousands during the Summer of Love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.tombutt.com/forum/2016/16-12-18.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lengthy, in-depth post\u003c/a> on his official website, Butt explains that he wants to officially \u003ca href=\"http://www.tombutt.com/forum/2016/16-12-18.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">locate the house \u003c/a>in Point Richmond where Stanley and his lab partners — Tim Scully, Melissa Cargill and Don Douglas — manufactured hundreds of thousands of tabs of LSD that they distributed to those wanting to “turn on” back in 1966. An avowed history buff who says he never used the drug, Butt plans to declare the spot a historical landmark. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know how the saying goes: “If you can remember it, you weren’t there” — and Butt’s problem is that no one remembers exactly where the former LSD lab was, not even the people that lived there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After all, they were taking a lot of acid,” Butt told the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/12/23/richmond-mayor-goes-on-hunt-for-former-lsd-lab-of-king-of-acid/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>East Bay Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a> back in December. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the summer of 1966, Stanley, by then the Grateful Dead’s pioneering sound engineer, set up an LSD lab in the basement of a rental house near the Chevron Refinery. Before the drug became illegal in October of that year, Stanley and his partners reportedly synthesized LSD that was 99 percent pure, which they called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/the-long-strange-trip-of-the-chemists-behind-the-legendary-lsd-orange-sunshine-1117\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">White Lightning\u003c/a>.” At the Human Be-In in January of 1967, Stanley reportedly \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/owsley-stanley-the-king-of-lsd-20110314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gave out between 10,000 and 30,000 hits\u003c/a> of the Richmond-made LSD. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color:#fff;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:594px\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0;margin:0;text-align:left\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/480680057\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:84.006734% 0 0 0;width:100%\">\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/480680057?et=66ru062TSilTMcoLeMTTZw&tld=com&viewMoreLink=off&sig=kZ4y3XjgmicchOA8KLJjcmJX70G0NrNj5xiitJ2y00k=&caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"499\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The drug became illegal on Oct. 6, 1966, and Douglas and Scully headed to Denver to set up another lab, this one across the street from the Denver Zoo.
