Roland Barthes

In 1974, Madonna was 16 and was in high school at Adams High in Rochester, MI. Wyn Cooper was a classmate and they were assigned to make a short movie for film class. Wyn, Madonna and Madonna's friend Carole Belanger did that Egg movie at a house were Belanger was baby sitting at. 
Wyn Cooper remembered this about Madonna then : "We developed a friendship and hung out. I had a Mercury Capri with an eight-track tape player. Madonna and I would hop in the car, drive around and listen to Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars while enjoying a little marijuana. She was social but removed at the same time".
Wyn Cooper became a poet and in 1987 he released "The Country of Here Below" a poetry book, only 500 copies were printed. One of the poem was called "FUN" and started like this "All I wanna do is have a little fun before i die".
Crowe's first album was recorded at Toad Hall Studio in Pasadena with record producers Bill Bottrell* and Kevin Gilbert*. Bottrell took a break and went to next door Pasadena's Playhouse and found copy of Cooper's book in an used bookstore, Crowe wasn't satisfied with a track she recorded "Still Love you", they rewrote the whole song adapting the poem hence Cooper getting a credit that bought him millions of dollars.
* What is really strange though is Bill Bottrell and Kevin Gilbert were respectively mixer and sound engineer assistant on Madonna's albums Like A Prayer, I'm Breathless (he even co-produced the Sondheim tracks) and they mixed the concert parts in Truth Or Dare. Gilbert mixed Now I'm following You Part II and the bottom remixes of Hanky Panky. They both were in Pat Leonard's Toy Matinee band. Bottrell was also a producer for Michael Jackson on Dangerous...
(Gilbert was Crowe's bf at the time and they had a big fall out, Bill Bottrell and him accused her of wrongfully crediting herself for the work they did on the album and ignoring them went it became succesful. Gilbert was also mad at Madonna for unknown reasons. He had a mental breakdown and killed himself in the late 90's)
That's a good example of how small the world can be.

The craziness around "Co-co-co mo-mo, co-co-co mo-mo, cum cum, commotion" is crazy. I adore it though. 
Why was Angel the only LAV single not remixed by Jellybean ? Is it because they broke up just  before its release ? Then why did he come back for Dress You Up ? Or Dress You Up was made earlier in the year than its release ? Meaning Angel wasn't the first choice for the 3rd single ? So when did they work on the Street Smarts track ? Before the Virgin Tour started did she abort Sean Penn, Jellybean or Kaipo Guerrero's spawn ? Will we ever hear Nile Rodger's LAV remix ? So many questions that i don't really care about though. Except the Working Your Finger To The Bone track. Leak it.

Apparently he did not record everything for MDNA, thank god for that hahaha. 
It seems very focused on RayOf Light, no Music tracks tapes so it must be related to a ROL project.

He's actually promoting the first tome of a trilogy about his work. Now it's about Taxi Girl, his first band. The second tome will be about himself and the third one about Madonna. No trash talk there, when asked about her during the promo he's always praising her, when reminded he said she drove him crazy during the recording of Confessions so he left, he was quick to say that he was the one having a meltdown and  needed mental help then  but she treated him the best one could considering his breakdown. He alsi added that people have the wrong impression of her and they would be surprised to know how real and funny she is and he wants to get the record straight. It will also be about the music business.
And he does not know about his new album. Sorry Kylie fans, and to torture you even more, he said he has two tracks with her but does not know if they are gonna be released since he may record totally new stuff. The reason why he does not release stuff is because he believes streaming fucks the artists, the Madonna tome will be about this too.

Said nobody with taste, ever

It’s not a bad video. It just lacks the edge of the others from that era. But that’s kind of true of the song itself, so yes, the video suits the song. The irony here is that orbit didn’t like TPOG and didn’t want it on the album.

I wanna ask "What happened to pop music after 2007 ?" because, seriously, there's a real shift in quality in the late 00's. The horror that is EDM was to music what Trump has been to politic.

I agree it's not cool for the audience but again she must be terrified to be sick again after last june's trauma. At every arena show i attended the heat was too much so it must be in her rider first than they did not comply after she must have asked them more than once. After all she's renting the venue, she's their client (and we're hers) it's not professional on their part either.

Not like in directing it behind the camera but as in using him as just a technician without a say which in the end is exactly what she did, she got director's cut.

My friend was there, it was her first show this tour and she had an amazing time. She thought it was part of the show 
Apparently Madonna was up there yelling “Guy?? Sarah?? Anyone??”

In the video she vetos a question about her work, projects she did not do but she goes on about Madonna. Her relationship to Madonna can be summed up by the name of her most famous show "Without You I'm Nothing". Nobody ever asks Madonna about Sandra since their fall out. Madonna will be written in her obituary, she won't be in Madonna's.

After all this time, fans still don't know that at a Madonna show you'll get out late and it's gonna be hot as hell.
She's onstage sweating and she gets heaps of frigid air, a sure way to catch a cold. You don't need to be a neurosurgeon to get that. Canceling a show because she has a fever would be better ? Considering what happened to her in last june ? 
And lol @ that person who talked about global warming to justify pushing ac like it is everywhere in the us, shops, etc....this is what causes global warming in the first place (but that's not the subject here). 
And the usual trolls using this to shit on her character, it says more about them than about her. 
The reactions are mental. Live a little, seriously.
