Sex-and-the-Cityish Tangeant #1

    Hey. I typed last night. But, I am trying to kill that urge for a little while, so, I can finish up a book by summer. All I have to do today is take out the recycling. But, I saw something in the newspaper that made me have to write this now. And, I kind of wanted to do a blog the same way they do the story narration on the old show Sex & The City (I'm not a huge fan of the show, but, I watch it from time to time to forget about The Golden Girls, as 3/4 of the cast of The Golden Girls are dead.). But, I know I can be very blunt at times, so, I am going to warn you right now: I am not really a Lady Gaga fan. Nor am I now or have ever been a fan of the other musicians mentioned in this post. However, that being said, I do sympathize with the devil & tend to go overboard with my worries, so, I am not trying to force anyone to believe that I have an answer to all the world's problems. Much rather, this post was written to bring up an question unrelated to the topic.

    Anyway, I just read about what happened to Lady Gaga. Anyone who didn't here's a link to the story:http://wonderwall.msn.com/movies/search?searchTerm=lady+gaga&+=&qs=AS&sk=&pq=lafdy&sp=1&sc=8-5#!wallState=0__%2Fentertainment%2Flady-gaga-will-have-to-cancel-indonesia-concert-1681920.story

     *I saw it in the newspaper first.
     Well, I was reading about how she canceled her concerts in Indonesia, & I was horrified. And, especially when I  remembered hearing from somewhere that one of her musical influences is Marilyn Manson, a man who many a year ago had churches picketing his concerts because he had the gall to shred/set the Holy Scriptures ablaze. And, he was inspired by Alice Cooper, a man whose shows were picketed by churches the world over because he had the nerve to assault mannequins and decapitate himself on stage.

Now, here's my question: When did music lose that independent "You're not the boss of me" streak it had almost 20-40 years ago? Is music written by vocal people for one confused by things like the moral majority? Or, is music written to please the moral majority?

An Introduction To Me

An Introduction To Me

   Hello. Welcome to the Aspiegoth blog. Now, I am going to go out on a limb, and guess that you found this blog completely by accident, & you may be thinking "What on earth is an Aspiegoth?" Well, this blog is written by one and she'll tell you everything you want to know.

Well, here's some background information for you: I am an art student, not disclosing whether in high school/college because by the time that this gets commented on I'd have graduated. But, I am also a member of the Gothic subculture. I know some eldergoths are going to attack the comment section of this blog for my saying this. But, I am telling the truth. 

    At age 5, I was diagnosed with autism. At age 8, I was diagnosed with Aspergers' Syndrome. But, that is the very definition of AspieGoth.

    In addition to these things, I am a writer. The majority of what I write is fictitious manuscripts. I am starting the Aspiegoth blog as a typing thing to type when I am not at a typing point for any of my manuscripts. And, as an online journal, if nothing else. But, just to warn you, I am just too blunt. And, sometimes my posts will be really random. So, never expect my posts to look the same. I am always busy in addition. So, don't count on having an idea on which the next post will come.

And, even though my profile says my name is Bonovika, my name is Avnirvana Bonovika.

So, Avnirvana out.
