Bad Romance: Jeremy Biles, Jean Baudrillard and Lady Gaga

Or maybe the menage-a-trois described in this title is a good romance. You decide.

My friend and colleague Jeremy Biles, author of Ecce Monstrum: Georges Bataille and the Sacrifice of Form (you can read free selections from the text and buy it at Amazon) recently wrote this great essay on the esoteric significance of pop provocateur Lady Gaga's style.

Jeremy is a friend and colleague who invited me to give a lecture on religion and horror movies to one of his classes at DePaul.

We all watched Saw, which was fun, and then read an article on the acousmetre and the story of Abraham and Isaac.

Maybe I'll turn the Saw lecture into a blog post.
