Well, this crap is way out of my geographic and economic league, but, on a parenthetical note, I wonder if anyone else noted the use of the world Wonderwall in the cornucopia of organically-correct corporate WonderTable buzzwords thrown out in this blizzard of happy happy talk talk logo logo shit shite. Wonderwall was the title of a wonderful George Harrison produced LP that came and went with way too little attention in the very late Sixties. Listening to it might help, especially after a cold shower.

wendell writes "Making it more interesting, Ms. Mad left Warner Music more than 6 months ago. The usual practice at record labels is to take down all evidence of their FORMER artists." That used to be true. The story you linked to may indicate something about why they aren't doing that this time. They probably own the rights to the recordings, so they're going to milk those recordings for all they're worth, because things aren't looking that great for the labels these days. The past catalogs are the big labels' biggest source of revenue these days, IIRC.

I'm with louiseau... it's just hilarious to have a giant crotch on your office window. If it was a childless celeb, or a non-promiscuous celeb, or a male celeb it wouldn't change anything; there would be jokes.

loiseau, I hear you. I don't think this is women-hating or anything. I guess this is just one of those times I should just ~~flag~~ not laugh* and move on. Then again, stavrogin's comment did make me sorta giggle. *not because I find the comments offensive (I don't), but because I find the jokes to be old and unfunny. But its not like I came up with anything better, so yeah, moving on...

I didn't post it for anything other than what loiseau said. I have worked in those highrises and if I came into my office one morning and found my office had suddenly become Madonna's crotch, and that was my view ALL DAY LONG, I would probably be a smidgen disconcerted by that. If it was ANYONE'S giant crotch it would be weird. Period. That said, I've spent a lot of my life trying to ignore what Madonna's genitalia was up to, even though she spent an awful lot of energy over the years trying to force everyone on the planet to care. So yeah, that it's now someone's view whether they like it or not kinda cracks me up a little. Mainly because it's not my office.

There is probably an office behind one of her boobs too. If you think about it, that is very funny as well. Madonna lived during the 1980s. That is but one of the many exciting facts about Madonna.

I happen to think vaginas and weiners are inherently funny. It doesn't take much joke for me to laugh at 'em because they're already so silly. Even just the words hairy protuberance make me giggle. Or calling labia lips. I also occasionally enjoy a good poop joke.

Given a chance I'd rather focus on how much polymorphic nad polystilystic that woman, a one-woman circus indeed Oh, how original! *snark* I always find it funny how people drone on about how she keeps "reinventing" herself, and yet it's never anything but image - personal styling. Her music has always been the largely the same kind of poppy lame mainstream vaguely dance drivel throughout her career. If she switched from pop drivel to dub reggae to operettas to oldschool jazz to industrial to hiphop, i'd believe the "wow, reinvention" line, but as elpapacito points out, it's just a matter of calling in the hairdressers & dressmakers & stylists & presto! "How DOES She Do It?!??"

Her music has always been the largely the same kind of poppy lame mainstream vaguely dance drivel throughout her career Beg to differ. Listen to Ray of Light, for example. Musically and stylistically it was actually incredibly different from what had gone before. Yeah, it's all been within the sort of dancefloor sphere, but try listening to different albums side by side and you will notice the differences more.

Oh, and especially the Dick Tracy album. Yes, she didn't write all of it, but if memory serves she had an enormous hand in most of the songs. I mean yeah, sure, you can say she's the same from album to album in much the same way that you could say Tori Amos or Annie Lennox are. It's pretty superficial, though.

By: UbuRoivas

I like to think of Madonna as a poppier, female version of David Bowie. Except, I get the sense that if he hadn't ever attracted huge crowds, Bowie would be doing a version of his act anyway. He'd be a local legend on the pub circuit as the guy with the weird make-up and songs. And that if Madonna hadn't ever attracted huge crowds, she'd just be a record label PR chick that used to sing and dance a little herself.
