Shine your heavenly body tonight!
This is the first video I remember being a big hit. When we used to go to the discos in Bay Ridge this song was playing over and over in the 1980's, Madonna was the latest thing. A hot young girl singing away and everyone dancing.
They had this bucket of blood bar on Atlantic Avenue that a couple of mooks who had a video store on Montague Street bought from the original owners. Remember video stores? This was before BlockBusters when everyone would rent a video for five bucks and pay late fees. They were rolling in dough so they decided to open a bar. They came in and swept up the sawdust off the flow and covered the honest wood with formica and flat angles. They set up a big video screen and ran videos on a continuing loop. Madonna. Michael Jackson. Lionel Ritchie. All the videos that were on MTV at the time. They had an idea but they made one fatal mistake. Yes all the young people came to dance to the videos. They just didn't buy any drinks. You were better off with a bunch of fat Irish guys with big red noses farting and eating hard boiled eggs. They went out of business in six months.
Time and tide rests for no man. Those two guys are both dead. Most of the people who danced at those discos are retired and living in Florida. And Madonna?
She can keep her heavenly body. Just sayn'

Madonna disses early defender Camille Paglia
"During [Madonna's] speech [at the Billboard Women in Music event] on Friday, the 58-year-old recalled wishing for a female peer at the start of career and specifically called out Camille, claiming that the famous writer said she 'set women back' by objectifying herself sexually. However, in 1990 it was Camille who hailed Madonna a 'true feminist'.
...Although Madonna claimed in her speech that Camille opposed her and her music, the writer argued that she was 'Madonna's first major defender, when she was still considered a pop tart and a sham puppet created by shadowy male producers.'
...Last May, Madonna wore a breast and buttock-baring Givenchy outfit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala, and while she said the controversial ensemble was a 'political statement' fighting ageism and the notion that women can't be sexy at a certain age, Camille firmly disagreed.

...Although Madonna claimed in her speech that Camille opposed her and her music, the writer argued that she was 'Madonna's first major defender, when she was still considered a pop tart and a sham puppet created by shadowy male producers.'
Camille went on to reference her 'ultra-controversial' 1990 New York Times op-ed, 'Finally, a Real Feminist', in which she celebrated Madonna for embracing sex, beauty and Hollywood glamour.
'I was widely attacked for my finale, which was dismissed as preposterous but which in fact came true: "Madonna is the future of feminism".'
Camille still cites Madonna as 'one of the most creative and influential women artists of the modern era', but she argued that the singer's 'artistic development has been stalled for 20 years' an she has become a 'prisoner of her own wealth and fame'.
'It is truly tragic to see Madonna descend into embarrassing displays of maudlin self-pity and irrational accusations against others,' Camille added. 'She is turning into a horrifying combination of delusional, vampiric Norma Desmond and bitter Joan Crawford on the bottle.'
In her speech, Madonna also spoke about ageism, explaining that for women, 'to age is a sin' and they will be criticized, but Camille stated that the singer's 'number one issue' on her path of self-destruction is her 'embarrassing inability to deal with aging'.
Camille noted that while Madonna's role model, Marlene Dietrich, retained her class and style until her death, the singer is making a fool of herself 'with vulgar displays while trying to remain youthful.
...Last May, Madonna wore a breast and buttock-baring Givenchy outfit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala, and while she said the controversial ensemble was a 'political statement' fighting ageism and the notion that women can't be sexy at a certain age, Camille firmly disagreed.
'She has become a cringe-making pastiche of ratty blonde hair extensions and artificially swollen cheeks, obscuring the magnificent classic bone structure that made her one of the most photogenic celebrities of the 1990s,' Camille said.

Los Ciccones
Madonna offers Joe Blobs?
I hope she was being sardonic:
Herpetic lesions are nothing to smile about.

Madge: "You're Soaking In It!"
Some say it's all stagecraft -- that Madonna is faking it. I'm wondering if it's time for an intervention.

Trooper is getting a Ticker - Beat Goes On
"It looks like they are putting the gadget in on Thursday at around eleven. It is a combination pacemaker, defibrillator, can opener and Pocket Fisherman. You see me heart doesn't just run fast it also runs slow. So this will fix me up more or less."
