He's so pathetic. Remember when Hillary called him a "puppet" in one of the debates and he about lost his shit and started screaming "you're the puppet.." He self projects so much. Sad pathetic old man. Someone should put him in a jail.

MX is back in constant rotation as if it were brand new again since I saw the show. As happens often, seeing the songs live puts them in a whole new dimension.

Can definitely get down with these mixes! Very old school and simple, more like extended mixes. I've been waiting for a mix like this for a while. Love them!!

OMG. This is just sickening and staggering at the same time. Needs to be seen in case people didn't click on the link. I really worry about the state of the World when a Christian university honours Donald Trump with a stain glass window. His whole lifestyle and ethics are exactly the opposite of what Jesus preached !
LYNCHBURG, VA—Liberty University has come under withering criticism after unveiling a Donald Trump stained glass window in the school's newly renovated Worley Prayer Chapel.
The window is featured prominently in the chapel, allowing students and faculty to pray to their lord and savior Donald Trump as they escape the pressures and worries of campus life for a few minutes.
"We wanted the renovated prayer chapel to really help students think about what's important: President Trump and His anointed agenda to make America great again," said school president Jerry Falwell, Jr. "It's important to remain focused and anchored. Now our students can take some time to reorient their hearts and spirits around Trump whenever they want."
Falwell encouraged those attending Liberty University to turn their eyes upon Trump, "and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glorious policies."
One small window in the chapel is always open in the direction of Washington, D.C., so students can pray facing Trump.
While Trump's stained glass window occupies the place of honor in the prayer chapel, the spot right in the center where the cross used to be, several other stained glass windows were installed along the walls of the chapel. These windows honor lesser icons of the Christian faith, such as the Republican elephant, the NRA, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Mike Pence. One particularly powerful piece beautifully depicts Trump's Playboy magazine cover in exquisite colors.
Critics have questioned whether the move was appropriate.
OH dear God.....I can't even joke about this.
This is absolutely REVOLTING and DISTURBING.....if Trump told these people to go into the streets and shoot minorities and gays in the name of the Lord, I have no doubt they would. Idk why at this point, but I'm just shocked at the stupidity and BLINDNESS of these people.
History will NOT be kind to these people. Fucking repulsive and I'm ashamed to even be in the same state where this is happening.

You’re right about lower expectations. I just don’t like Warren. Never did much. But if it’s her against drumpf, I’ll vote Warren. But it always seems it’s the lesser of two evils. USA needs a new political party instead of the two sides of the same coin politic. I first voted for Jimmy Carter, when first able to vote. To me, he was the last decent human president. Obama was good too, but he seemed to like Wall Street a bit more than Main Street. At least Obama wasn’t a sleazebag criminal we got now. I will give him that. I have always voted for a Democrat.
Truthfully, up until recently I have never taken the time to really dig into Warren. I like what I see at this point but, she's definitely seasoned so can understand how others have seen things over the years they may not care for in regard to her. So funny you bring up Jimmy Carter, I was just watching more recent (by recent I mean within last 10 yrs) interviews with him and I agree with you, that is a true decent, genuine man that (seemingly) had the interest of America in mind more than any political agenda. He's REAL. He gets the short end of the stick too......he's often considered the "nothing accomplished" president but that's simply not true. As he said himself, the fact that he was a one term president has tarnished his reputation and puts a dark cloud over the actual accomplishments of his presidency. Have to look at when he came into office too, Watergate, Nixon corruption and Vietnam were all so fresh. Much like Obama, he was handed an absolute mess and did the best he could with that.
Sort of off topic but one thing that REALLY gets under my skin his how Trump and his cult always site the economy as a talking point to his success......but let's make no mistake, Obama set him up for success in that regard. Everything had been on the upswing for YEARS before Trump was in the picture so I give Trump little to NO credit for the "strong economy".

Warren is not a progressive. Used to be a republican.
I do think she's progressive but yes, she did use to be a Republican. I don't think we should use that against her though. People change their political affiliation all throughout their lives and let's face it, Warren grew up in OK....I believe she's mentioned how other family members are Republicans so that can definitely impact someone's political affiliation. Clearly, she's learned some things over the years and had a change of heart on many issues.
Right now, my ideal ticket would be Mayor Pete and Warren. Listening to Mayor Pete talk is just so calming and refreshing. Of course anyone that can string together a coherent sentence with actual substance is a step up from the corrupt goon we have now so, maybe my expectations have been lowered. Imagine though.....a 37 yr old gay man, who let's face it, has more political experience at this point in his career than Trump did pre-2016......now THAT would be progressive but....I know that's most likely not realistic.

I think Madonna's comment at her show was just her being cheeky......however, I doubt that this will happen, which is a shame!
Would be nice for her to throw the SA fans a bone as they are SOOOO passionate, especially since it's apparent she won't be bringing MXT down there.

Love everyone's lists.....the fact that none of our lists are the same is very telling about the greatness of this album.

Agreed! Radio friendly Madonna heaven.
Absolutely! There's so much greatness on MX for me that even this gem doesn't rank at the top of my MX list but in another place and time, this would've been a perfect single. Don't think it really matters what she releases as a single these days but damn....this song just checks all the boxes....unique, amazing vocals, catchy, accessible/universal and that Motown flair......she's always a Detroit girl at heart!

Hold up:
How would multiple parties help? They would need to build coalitions to govern and we would be right back where we are: either center-left or center-right. Exactly where we are with both parties though the GOP has drifted far, far right. Anyone supporting 3rd parties is frankly throwing your vote away for what? So you can feel you're "above it all?" Any person who is gay willing to risk their rights with right wing judges on the bench for a lifetime is.......well I better not say.
Hillary was actually a very progressive, though pragmatic, leader. It is bullshit her campaign was as flawed as some think in hindsight. She was and is one of the strongest candidates we have ever run though she was 4 years too late in 2016. Still, she did extraordinary against all the odds stacked against her. Trump beat out 16 of the GOP's best and brightest EASILY. She had everything against her- the media, the FBI, Comey, the Russians, the Saudis, all the GOP dark money, all the conservative billionaires, Bernie never fully and enthusiastically endorsing her, years and years of smears and lies YET she won almost 4 million more votes than he did. He "won" with over 77,000 spread out over 3 states. And it was a change election. Despite all of this, she won.
Bernie would have won? TF he would have. It would have been a landslide in Trump's favor. Bernie has a lot of dirt no one has used on him. I am very liberal but he scares too many people.
Now we are in the biggest shit show this country has ever seen in a hundred and something years. Yet here we are with a TV clown as president because of course that is where things were headed. People want to be entertained with twists and shocks instead of someone who knows what they are doing and was highly qualified. It is one humiliation after another and still a good 40% of this country is just fine with it all.
The US is an oligarchy and they convince the poor and middle class to carry their water. Shameful. 10% of the people have 90% of the wealth. That isn't sustainable. 90% of us are fighting over 10% of the pie while they pillage us for more. And we grovel at their feet! And no, don't start with the corporate Dem bullshit. That is a complete right wing talking point. The right wing screams "BOTH SIDES ARE JUST AS BAD" because they can't defend anything they've done. People who use that argument are either out conservatives or closeted ones. Conservatives the world over are fucking the people and planet. When the population starts catching on, they create a crisis and scream about migrants and racism and religion and guns. Conservatives haven't done shit for mankind.
Omg.....ALL of this right here!!!
YES!!
You said everything I've wanted to say in regard to this.
I will say though that I adore Bernie and even now he's absolutely my #1 pick among the Dem candidates at this point but I'm also realistic and....well....his chances now and in 2016 were slim because he's VERY left. Again, I love him, think he's in this for altruistic reasons and I believe he wants to achieve everything he says he does (I don't think it's just talking points with him), his passion for good is palpable in my opinion but there's no way this country is ready for that.
Having said that, I felt like Hillary's passion for doing the right thing was palpable as well. There are so many many misconceptions and flat out lies about that woman that are now just "fact" and probably always will be. I find it sad that so many people fell into that trap......but regrettably, not really surprised. Just goes to show how far we have to go in terms of equality for men and women. Anyone denying sexism played NO ROLE in how 2016 turned out is living in a fantasy land. The 2016 election truly was the perfect storm BUT I still say Comey sent it over the edge by doing what he did mere days before the election. That was no accident.
Funny that now with the more recent developments that the right is AGAIN bringing up Hillary's emails as an attempt to deflect.....this is in 2019. Truly....who gives a flying FUCK about her emails at this point?? Anytime the right is facing some sort of "crisis" all they have to say is "Obama did this" or "Hillary did that" and it STILL triggers the deplorables. WHY though?? Politically, both of these people are ancient history. It's just desperation and outright obsession at this point.

Is it really pain if it's inside?...........................the way her tone goes down when she says a breathy 'side'
Yes!! I love that part!
It's little things like this that make her such an amazing vocalist to me. She conveys so much feeling with her voice. Will always consider Madonna to be one of the best vocalists of all time.

Hillary won the popular vote but lost the election. The only other time that happened was when GW Bush was “elected” by the SCOTUS. That was pretty shady as heck, too.
Funny how that only seems to happen with Republicans. Also, people always seem to act as if the entire Hillary campaign was a disaster, completely ignoring the fact she obliterated Trump in the popular vote. Obviously, in this case it didn't matter and of course there were areas she should've focused on more but people are too quick to label her whole campaign a disaster of epic proportions when it really wasn't.
Also very tired of people saying she didn't take responsibility for her own shortcomings when she totally did. She's stated numerous times her fuck up's that contributed to her loss. People (even other Dems) really reach to try to find the worst in Hillary. I do hope some lessons were learned in 2016 in that regard.
I know this is totally unpopular opinion but I'd vote for Hillary again in a split second. #sorrynotsorry

Would love to see her get some Grammy noms, this album deserves it so much but.......we know too well how this story usually ends.
Also, I think she has a performance the night of the Grammy's so that in itself may lessen the possibilities of a nom if they already know she won't be attending.

This. She’s at that Bowie/Prince stage of her career where she puts out new albums for the fans and for her artistic expression, rather than the charts.
Yep! It's sad to close the door on that "chart domination" part of her career, although number one albums are still very likely for a while. With that said though, the possibilities of what she can do now seem limitless. As long as she keeps the passion she had for MX, I don't see why she couldn't produce some of the best work of her career these next 20 or so yrs. Will be interesting to see how her music takes shape as she grows older, the kids grow up and move away, maybe her thoughts and feelings on mortality......not to sound morbid but artists often times make some of their deepest most personal work in their later yrs. Look at Bowie!!

The outro is one of my favorite moments in the album. I’m usually walking down the street when I’m playing this song. I love the way the fade out echoes and vibrates through me. Stunning!
YES!! You described the feeling perfectly. That ending absolutely vibrates through you with some good headphones on....one of my favorite moments on the album.....then it goes right into the exquisite EO.
I listen to MX frequently on walks and CA always makes me get some pep in my step, it's the perfect soundtrack to a beautiful sunny day (I know that sounds cheesy...lol...but it's so true).

The ending of this song gives me chills every time.
Come Alive begins my favorite stretch of songs on the album.....Come Alive through Looking For Mercy.

Well, the good/bad news with situations like this now is that Trump has set the bar so incredibly low and said so many stupid, inaccurate things that people are pretty much desensitized to it at this point. It's gonna take a real shitty Dem candidate to match his level of stupidity and ignorance. There was a time snafu's like this could be seen as a big deal......does it really matter now though??
In fact, it seems like people prefer this over someone like HRC who apparently spoke a little bit too properly and couldn't "connect" with people because of her "elitist" mentality (aka: she was smart). 
We see it in politics and entertainment more than ever now......people like things to be dumbed down.

I'm sorry but I'd support Hillary in a second even now. There's so much hate and disinformation about her and even her "allies" believe it all. Sad really.
Never has anyone more qualified run for office. Idc what anyone says, if she were a man she would absolutely NOT get the hate she gets. I'm all for Mayor Pete at this point and even if Hillary ran, I'd still be for him but if she ended up being the nominee I'd happily support her with enthusiasm.....unlike Biden who I will definitely support but not with much enthusiasm. People really need to watch her interview with Howard Stern. Spoiler alert: she's actually a human being!!
And a very smart one!!
I highly recommend watching. Not that it matters, those with preconceived notions won't watch and will continue to think what they will....it is what it is.....but I'll always have massive respect for this woman that has literally dedicated her entire life to public service. It's like some Dems are still waiting for this magical, perfect candidate with no history or past to fall from the clouds like an angel from God or something. These people are humans, ALL of them are going to have some form of baggage or another. Ok.....begin with the "Hillary is an evil bitch" rhetoric....I'm done now...lol.
