  1. I made a spreadsheet to do the math on the remaining states based on current vote totals and estimated outstanding votes

    In order to take Arizona, Trump would need to win 68% of the remaining votes. He currently has been winning 48.7%

    Georgia: Trump needs to win 66% of the remaining votes. He currently has been winning 49.3%

    Nevada: Trump needs to win 73% of the remaining votes. He currently has been winning 48.0%

    Pennsylvania: Trump needs to win 61% of the remaining votes. He currently has been winning 49.1%

    While mathematically possibly, it is highly unlikely he can come back based on the voting trends. They should just call the election at this point.

    And how many times has she used guns as props on stage or in photoshoots?  How many times has she glamorized guns?

     

    She needs to stay away from politics, both conservatives and liberals will rip her a new one is she goes this direction

    Have we not learned how much of what Madonna does is to be taken ironically? Her use of guns was meant to be criticism, not an endorsement. Like Material Girl wasn’t an endorsement of materialism but a critique of it.

  4. What's comforting about these last electoral maps is that states that are supposedly "swing" states - Ohio, Iowa, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Arizona, Georgia. Hillary could lose every single one of those states and still win the Presidency. They're important for Trump to win, but don't really matter for her. If he loses any one of those, that would probably mean a landslide electoral win for Hillary. I hate looking at these because I don't want to get too overconfident and be let down. But it is looking good for her.

  5. I went to see the Drowned World Tour in Los Angeles on Sept 9, 2001 and then 9/11 happened two days later. She had the last three scheduled dates of the entire tour still left in LA. She postponed one date but went on stage wearing an American Flag kilt just a few days later (Sept 13-15).

    I vividly remember watching the news on TV and hearing a city spokesman mentioning event cancellations in light of the attacks and when he announced Madonna's shows would go on he made the comment, "Nothing stops Madonna".

  6. I loved all three at the time and never really thought of them in competition. During the 80s I'd say the only real direct rival was Cyndi Lauper and that was more media perpetuated than a fan war. The fan wars really took off as the internet and the first newsgroups came along in the 90s.

    Love reading these posts as well!

    Out of curriosity, back in the 80s,how were Janet and Whitney fans to each torwards M fans? Was it anything similar or even in comparison to how annoying and childish its been with Mariah, Britney and Gaga fans?

  7. One thing that stood out in the 80s too is that she was very much an enigma. Sure her videos were out there, but she was rarely on talk shows or even awards shows other than the VMAs. Her first American Music Awards performance was for Take A Bow in 1995 and her first Grammy performance wasn't until Nothing Really Matters. Can you imagine any of today's popular "princesses" not doing a mainstream awards show until 10-12 years after their debut? On the talk show side she did Johnny Carson/Tonight Show in like 1987 and Letterman in 1988 together with Sandra Bernhart and some MTV interviews.

    The main point is that when Madonna was on TV for something, you knew it was going to be a big deal because she did them so rarely.

  8. A fan here since Holiday was climbing the charts in 1984 when I was just a teen. First time I actually ever saw her was when she sang "Holiday" on a TV show called Solid Gold (I missed out on the Bandstand performance). I remember all the Madonna vs. Cyndi Lauper articles. I bought all of M's cassettes over the years and was a pretty big fan. Some of my greatest memories include seeing the Papa Don't Preach video for the first time and then the teasers for the Like A Prayer/Pepsi commercial and getting super hyped about the song/commercial. Then actually seeing the commercial and the video was like...wow!!!

    I'd say I went into true "stan" mode in 1990 when Vogue came out just as I was starting to come out. The connection was huge and then seeing Truth Or Dare on opening night just took it to a whole new level. I'd never seen a celeb be so open to having gay people (her dancers) around. It was an eye opener.

    I could go on and on about this from era to era and write a whole book on it practically. I'll just say her music has been the soundtrack of my life and it's evolved in many of the same ways I have myself. It's like she's been a friend even though we've never met.

  9. whats the point of these lists. music is subjectif

    The point is not the subjective quality of the songs. It's about songs that didn't peak very high on the charts, yet have had legs and may surprise people by just how poorly they peaked. For example, "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order peaked only at #98 and "I Melt With You" by Modern English only peaked at #76. I'm sure lots of people would have thought that both of those songs were top 10s given how they are 80s staples/classics and both have been used in lots of films since then.
