Discothechno

Say what you want about Madonna - like a hardy cockroach, she continues to thrive. She may very well be the Patient Zero of the current wasting disease of music that I have been bitching about recently, but who cares. She has more intelligence in her pubis than Fergie has in one well-defined leg, and more than Lindsay Lohan's family tree dating back to the landing at Plymouth Rock.

Here is a clip from Madonna's "Confessions" world tour in support of her disco album "Confessions on a Dance Floor." Notice the brilliant riff from "Disco Inferno" she incorporates into her song "Music," accompanied by a dance routine that not only mimics "Saturday Night Fever," but also the original "Airplane" spoof of that film.

Sure, she has been rudely relegated to the scrap pile. How unfortunate. Madonna still has something to say, even if it's something as vapid as : "Let's boogie."

Let's indeed.

Madonna?
Cockroach?

VD: "If a giant meteor hit the earth, do you think Madonna would survive?"

BP: "Yes, I'm sure she would. Scientists have proved that even in the event of nuclear war only two creaures on the earth would survive. Madonna and the cockroach. As yet there is no sure way of killing her."

VD: "If a Hippophant was the cross between a hippo and an elephant what would you call the animal you'd get it you crossed a monkey and a mongoose?"

BP: "Well, VD, it would obviously be the Mong... - erm - the Monk...er...fuck...."

Other than the fact that I'm not married to a movie director, don't live in a British country house, haven't adopted an English accent or an African infant and can't dance, I can really relate to Madonna. Why? Because she has no idea what she wants to be when she grows up.
I think that's why she reinvents herself. She's searching, searching, searching. But that's not a bad thing.
I kind of like her, even if she acts like an attention starved freak part of the time.
There's a little Madonna in us all, even in that two-headed skeleton thingee that serves as SR's avatar. Freaky duality - child and adult in the same body.

I like Madonna, I just like satire and humour better!

Wow, a hemaphrodite. A little something for everybody. Sweet.
You get my award for Creepiest Avatar. No insult meant to the parents, but that's a skeleton only a mother could love.

I love how Madonna clings to this music career long after her hayday has come and gone. I think she needs to go meditate some more.

@ Sterculian: Good one. I liked that.

@ Morgan: Yes, there is a little Madonna in all of us. Do you think that's my problem??

@ Stevie: I wouldn't mind watching her meditate.

I was never a Madonna fan, but I actually watched a little of her Confessions tour concert on TV the other night. She still has a pretty good voice. And, FSM help me, I'd still hit that.

madonna writes children's books now to help kids continue life with good morals.....its something she didnt give a shit about 20 years ago and now that she has kids of her own she doesn't want them to be polluted...sounds like hypocrisy to me
