The funny thing about Lady Gaga is that when she pulls her various "wacky" stunts like wearing a gimp mask to a press conference (UGH), no one goes "oh isn't Lady Gaga crazy", they go "oh isn't Lady Gaga clever". Her real angle isn't "art" or Warhol, it's business - ie doing exactly what eg PCDs do, except their business model is outdated and flailing while Gaga's new models are cannier.
