What is there left to say about Lady Gaga? Our minds are made up; we savor or dismiss the music, and all the rest, without blinking. But there are always stories worth finding. John Seabrook writes:
Kenny Gorka, who booked the Stephani Germanotta Band, as the act was called, recalled recently how he met Germanotta. She telephoned him pretending to be her own publicist, raving about this incredible new talent. “She lied to me, talking about how great Stephani was in the third person,” he said. “But it was enough to pique my interest, and I brought her in for an audition and booked her.”
The future Ms. Gaga was nineteen at the time.
