University of South Carolina offers Lady Gaga course

LONDON - Now you can enroll in a course on Lady Gaga at a US university.

A sociology professor at the University of South Carolina is offering a course titled ‘Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame’, reports the Telegraph.

“We’re going to look at Lady Gaga as a social event. Other people say that Gaga’s the new Madonna. I see it more like there’s people who have this very individual thing. Frank Zappa had it. Prince had it. Miles Davis had it. Jimi Hendrix had it. And Lady Gaga has it,” said Professor Mathieu Deflem, who has met the ‘Poker Face’ singer several times.

The prospectus says: “The central objective is to unravel the sociologically relevant dimensions of the fame of Lady Gaga.” (ANI)
