She's showing that even women in their 60s still have a vagina. And that it's relevant.

Namo, she's flipped them off in four tours in a row actually--the whole affectionately calling your fans mother****ers, etc, thing began with Drowned World. I admit, I enjoy her tours (up to and including most of Confessions, I thought Sticky and Sweet was a cheap, tacky, mess), but that aspect has always caused me to at least momentarily zone out and think "WTF?". I mean I get that she thinks it gives her some edge or something--it doesn't.

I saw the Drowned World, American Life and Confessions tours. Half way through Confessions -- during the actual show -- she tripped the circuitry in my brain and everything I ever loved about her vanished. It was as if the blinders fell from my eyes and I knew I would never give her another penny again in my life. And believe me, between tickets, albums, cds and more remixes than I could count, I gave the woman a lot of pennies.

And then, of course, she flipped off the crowd again. For the first time ever, I gave her the finger right back. But since I had the cheap $150 seats, there was no way she could have seen me. But I felt better.

And I found myself thinking about the image of her giving us the finger, and was reminded of something somebody told me Maya Angelou once said: "When someone tells you the truth about themselves, believe them."

What does Maya say about someone who flashes a tit?

Shes a wise wise woman who makes me want a Butterfinger.

I love her poem:

Nobody
Better lay a hand
On my
Butterfinger

She strolls along the meadow in a sun bleached dress
Her hips sway back and forth in that "Come Hither" way
Her feet
Her legs
Her hair dances with the wind as she decides her fate
To flash that tit
Or eat that Butterfinger
"F*CK it" she says as delicately as a newborns laugh
"I'll do both"

Both.

Both.

Borstal, to prove that I don't reflexively hate everything she releases, I will say she looks really pretty with red hair.

Actually, my link was to the video for "Turn Up The Radio" by the 80's rawk band Autograph!! You remember them, right?

Right?

Anyways, to make things slightly more full circle, they also had a lead singer who looked like he was in his fifties.

LOL the ones who don't like her seem to spend more time talking about her than we fans do.

Yes, yes, yes, we're at the point in the template of this conversation where you point put Madonna somehow "wins" because we're talking about her and she's laughing all the way to the bank, and the tour will gross a ton of money so that proves her artistic merit and that she's not putting out half baked crap. Next you need to point out she's richer than me so I'm a failure and bitter and jealous and have no right to my obviously carefully thought out and reasoned opinion on her lack of creativity and then we circle back to her laughing all the way to the bank. IF you're sticking to the playbook.

For the record, I have no horse in this race. But SADM2, you might ask yourself why you spend so much time discussing her with people who don't like her.

At any rate, that's not a great mystery. The board is filled with page after page of people discussing things they don't like or that anger or disappoint them. (See JoeKv on raisins, for example.)

Just got back from the MDNA Tour at sold our Hyde Park in London (50 thousand). The tour is insane, brilliant, probably up there with Blonde Ambittion as her best tour, it actually makes me see how weak her Sticky and Sweet Tour was. The opening 5 songs (the ultra violent section) were jaw dropping, the crowd went crazy for Gang Bang. A couple of meh moments (Masterpiece, though she sang it very well), and the new reworked Like a Virgin that i had watched on You Tube and not really enjoyed was actually a highlight live (seemed to be for audiences and critics as well). After Hyde Park shut down the Springsteen gig (that my fella was at) die to a sound curfew many were fearing the same for her but she came in on time (with 2 mins to spare).

It really is an eye popping spectacle (the drum line hanging from the ceiling was fantastic) to the softer moments (Like a Virgin and Candy Shop). She kept her boobs under wraps (thank god)and never faulted in her performance.

We were lucky enough to be at the front so saw everything and she looked like she was a having a blast (except when it rained then she looked like she was gonna rip someone's head off, luckily it stopped quickly)

The opening Girl Gone Wild is simply her best opening to a tour since Blonde Ambittion (the moving stage is like nothing i have seen before) and her new version of Open Your Heart was kind of epic.

All in all it was a brilliant show of new music and old classics (Vogue was another stand out, as was Human Nature), and to top it off i also got to watch the wonderful One Man Two Guvnors the night before.

But did you like it?

[FindingNamo]

I am glad you had a good time. I would also suggest that your inability to know as you were seeing the Stinky & Sweat tour that it was weak is a symptom of the blinkers with which you approach your queen. This is why I have maintained in a couple of years you will come around to exactly what I have said all along about MDNA and probably its follow up AON.
