Joni Mitchell is an extraordinary musician. She is 80 years old. She recovered from a near fatal brain aneurysm at 74 and has taught herself how to speak, move and play guitar again. She is an extraordinary talent who has written some of the greatest music of the 20th century. Whether it’s ignorance that people don’t know who the photo is of or they just think it’s funny to implicitly mock her knowingly, she deserves better. 

I think she sounded great singing CFY tonight
 

Maybe that's why 4 Minutes is not on the setlist...
 

I wonder if this is enough evidence for the people that claim Die another day is the first single off the album? 😂 

Nothing Fails is a bit of a sophisticated pop song.  It is definitely elevated compared to everything else that was and is out there.  Layered beautifully.  Madonna is actually a really great song writer.  I love it.  ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 

Listening again, idk why I said BA. Sounded too good. I assume this was part of the original release but if the rest of that tour was released, I would maybe like the tour more. 

I’m reading it. It’s incredibly detailed and the author shows great respect and reverence for Madonna’s accomplishments and her cultural importance. 

Is Live to Tell on this release tacked on from Blond Ambition?

She triggered everyone in that stadium and fans across the world with this 10 second tease. We are dying with the 10 second rim job edging. 

Stuart has such great energy. I loved seeing him up there last night.

How many times have I read something like this about Madonna 

Fuck it. My mental and physical health has been in the toilet the past weeks, and I don't think I can wait till I see her in December w/my friends, so.. just bought a cheap, single seat (obstructed view only thing avails), train, and hotel for the show tonight. Anyone else going? I'm not from Belgium (from NL), so if anyone has any public transport tips (esp after the show back to the center..) that'd be fab

Interview with Chair 🪑 

Stuey does know how to dodge those questions 🙂

He was definitely professionally coached by a PR firm. Especially his rehearsed response to making new music with Madonna.

Hm I disagree. There’s some interesting info but most of it seems like non answers to me. Also some inaccuracies.  

Just in case anyone's not seen this yet.
Stage map of where she sings the songs.

No we don't.
We need a nice hot and cold buffet that runs the length of the stage.
Madame X is a singer
Madame X is a hospitable host.

My show won’t be until April so I leave this here because I’m bound to love some other parts after being in person:
1. Nothing Really Matters
2. Open Your Heart (so free and so bouncy)
3. Holiday (the ending made my wanna cry just from the vids we have seen)
4. Vogue (shocker right?)
5. Don’t Tell Me (dancing on point)
 

I wish she'd actually performed a bit of Living For Love!! One of my faves

*It’s bloated but some calculated medleys and excerpts would help maybe. Theres so much to celebrate and so little time. 
*The first section I feel like helps set the tone for everything, a little darkness, mystery and celebration, light.  
*I tried placing Rescue Me in afterwards so it really could’ve been placed anywhere to add closure or slow stuff down in a powerful way.

I thought everyone's fav performance was the Sticky & Sweet Tour one with the recycled backdrop and remix 

I think that’s always the concern. Rebel Heart would’ve been best recorded before the Rocco mess. MDNA best recorded before she was beyond over the tour. I think somewhere in the middle and let them film any additional segments she may add later.
