We were there for Sunday night's show. If I had known I'd have let you have my ticket; I'm sure my Rob would've had more fun with a true fan like himself :-). She did put on quite a show though.
These things make it hard for me to stay a fan. I wish that entertainers would stick to entertainment and cease trying to be social prophets.
For years I've used the excuse that I like her music but that I don't like her message and that I just avoid some of the stuff she does, the masturbation stuff during "Like a Prayer" during the "The Blonde Ambition Tour," the pro-gay rights comments, her very libral lifestyle, the lesbian and homoerotic stuff in her "sex" book. And now her comments about Prop 8 and Obama, etc. I was always offended when I was younger when my parents would point out to me how inconsistent it was of me to say I was a loyal fan and supporter knowing the values she stood for. I always defended her and said she was an artist. In some ways it is like someone made cookies with dog poop in them and I like the cookie enough to just "eat around the dog poop."
Madonna has a right to her opinion. She is famous and has lots of loyal fans so therefore she has a large stage to voice her opinions on and there are many who I think if she encouraged them to go stab themselves would go looking for knives. But that being said, she is, well the last time I checked still an American. I know she's left the US to live abroad.
I don't think she is a very good moral example for marriage or anything else. But i do think she is talented both musically and artistically. I respect her for that. I just wish she would use her talents for good.
She is entitled to her opinions, I think she is incorrect on most levels but I will continue to enjoy her music although I still won't promote her message.
We just got back from her concert. I'm not a fan (that's my husband), but she is talented in her showmanship. And hey, it seems we voted the same way.
ReplyDeleteI just got back from her concert too! Did you go to the Vegas show? I went on Saturday and it was amazing! I loved every minute of it!
