DALLAS -- After wrapping up her Friday night concert at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Lady Gaga paid a surprise visit to the Round-Up Saloon, a popular gay country-western bar in the Cedar Springs gay neighborhood of Dallas.

Lady Gaga shocked and awed the crowd. While she did not perform, she addressed the club patrons, thanking them for their support.

On her Facebook page, she posted a picture of herself with the staff. "In my former dressing room of my old Dallas gay stomping grounds. They supported me first. SO RAD COWBOYS," Gaga commented.

SAN DIEGO -- Michele Tyler sang publicly for the first time when she was 14 and living in her hometown of La Puente in Los Angeles County.

The teenager, a huge Grace Slick fan at the time, carefully chose the song “White Rabbit" as her debut, and later asked her older sister to take her to a Jefferson Airplane concert so she could see her idol sing the same song on a much larger stage.

Decades later, she serendipitously got the chance to meet and chat with the rock goddess; someone she still says today was the one, motivating factor for her getting into singing as a young girl.
