1996 USA TODAY, the bold part has always stood out to me:
 
Madonna: I’ve certainly tried to reform my share of men. You have your standards. I feel like I have definitely gotten involved in a fair share of men who turned out to be incredibly narrow-minded, and I have made it a task for myself to get them to look at life in a different way. i haven’t always been successful, but the thing that makes me different is a lot of women settle for things, OK? Maybe that is why people have looked at me and said, oh, I’m heartless, I’m cruel, I don’t need men, I’m a man-eater.
Actually, I’m a very good role model, because I say, ‘Look, these are my standards.’… If the man I’m involved with can’t grasp those things, I don’t want to have anything to do with him. Which isn’t to say that as soon as you see it, you run in the other direction. I mean, there are some people who are trainable. (laughs)
I can’t tell you how many women I know who take back men who’ve abused them, who’ve abused their children. It’s wretched. it’s disgusting."

Nurse #1: Okay, okay, what's your husband's name?
Nikki Finn: Louden.
Nurse #1: And his last name?
Nikki Finn: Clear.

I approve of this shade

I'll place my wager that its meant to be "technical" for "DJs". Because somewhere along the lines that became a complicated, enterprising career. I'm glad they don't give them fun or clever names anymore as most sound the same anyway. It was a nice touch when they had some personality.

Now I'm following you (part 2)Positive: I like how in part 2, the song dramaticly changes from a full on jazz song into this almost disco mix. And I like the little Dick Tracy rap towards the end.Negative: It isn't as good as part 1 imo. But hey, it was good on the blond ambition tourNext is If you go away (demo)

Frozen (Meltdown Remix)
 
Positive: It gives the song a very dark atmosphere but at the same time is as beautiful as the original
 
Negative: It wasn't used for one of the two Dan-O-Rama video remixes, but that's just me
 
Next is Now I'm Following You (Part II)

Mother and Father 
 
+ The beats are crisp as fuck. Mirwais could really lay it down, that guitar is just perfection.
- The lyrical content is a bit... lacking. Its fun, but f'real cried & cried & cried
 
Next: Arioso 

Skin:
 
Positive: I feel like I'm lost between dimensions and float in time ends when I hear this song. It's SO good, it really gets me like i'm traveling and traveling and discovering everything like i own everything and I LOVE this song.
 
Negative: TBH for me there's no negative point in this masterpiece aljsçlalçslakçsk
 
next up iss............ Nothing Fails. If NF was already chosen, Hung Up (Sticky & Sweet Tour Version). 

Has To Be
 
+ Its like floating on a cloud during a hangover and being massaged by little baby faced angels.
- Sometimes I'm not in the mood to be massaged by little baby faced angels
 
Next: The Beat Goes On (Demo)

the future is releases that are impossible to follow? Id think things would be way easier now with the internet...  

It's so weird. I miss going to my local music store and being the only queer buying the madonna cd single. Lol. My town in small but I fucking loved it! :-)

Boy George: "Madonna doesn't have anything to prove to anyone; she's Madonna!"     For the promotion of Culture Club’s reunion tour, Boy George was interviewed by Between The Lines News and talked about various topics…  http://www.pridesource.com/article.html?article=72438
 
On the Madonna vs. Lady Gaga rivalry…
I’m not saying this to diss Madonna at all – I mean, Madonna doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone; she’s Madonna! – but I really felt all those comparisons were a bit stupid. Of course someone like Lady Gaga, who’s younger than Madonna, is gonna be influenced by Madonna. It’s a complete compliment. That’s how you have to view it. Whenever I see anybody working a look that I might’ve had back in the day – I’ve done it. Why do I need to get upset about it?
 
On pop culture…
There really aren’t many artists around or anybody that stands out. It’s a weird time for pop culture, and I suppose you can only measure current pop culture by what it was like when you were doing your thing. So, I’m always gonna measure it by what I’ve grown up with: David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Prince, Madonna… Of course I’m gonna measure it by that, and I don’t see any of that around at the moment. I mean, Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna – they’re working a bit of a hot look. More the girls.
 

re: Bang Bang Boom beat & lyrics - how do you describe the discord?
 
I think the music is a bit animated/different for the tune's content but not really inappropriate. You're the second to point this out as a downer for this song.
 
I imagine her in a straightjacket being dragged down the street screaming, but on a beautiful, sunny David LaChappelle kinda day. 

"The Game"
 
Positive: I LOOOOOVVEEEEE acoustic Madonna. I absolutely adore all "American Life" unreleased tracks. For me Madonna + acoustic guitar (+ synths sometimes) = perfection!
 
Negative: Madonna should release "American Life" 3CD Super-Extra-Mega-Deluxe Edition with songs like "The Game", "Miss You", "It's So Cool", "Set the Right"
 
 
 
Next: "Dear Father"

Bang Bang Boom
 
Positive: I like the beat of the song by itself
Negative: It doesn't fit the lyrics at all
 
Next: The Game

Who cares? This is about making a few bucks off her music by selling some alcohol. Likely the ideal/intended audience for most of those horrid "club mixes".
