    Plus, while we are talking about American Life/God Control, subject matter wise they are very much related, it couldn't be a better match. Here we are, sixteen years later and the commentary on America's wars and the fickleness of American society as a whole has been followed by everything we've been watching unfold in the news since, violence, bigotry, racism, religious fundamentalism of all colours, baseless imperialistic wars sold as democracy exportation, reality TV, the dawn of social media etc etc

    But I get it that not everyone sees it that way. They probably think Madonna should just stick to Vogue, Deeper & Deeper and Hung Up simply because "it's the gay pride".

    Madonna has always a bigger narrative in mind which is what makes her Madonna in the first place

     

    I think that’s a gross misrepresentation of what people are reacting to when it comes to performing at pride - more specifically at a pride CIRCUIT PARTY. Of course no one is objecting to Madonna being political or thought-provoking or having a bigger message, that is part of why we all love her.  It’s about creating actual positive impact by having the right message for the right audience at the right time when they are open and ready for it. The only thing sweaty muscle mary’s rolling on molly at a pride circuit party are open and ready for is more drugs and possibly a bit of double penetration and, by god, just let them be!

  2. If you want to have a deep, meaningful, political moment at pride that’s totally cool but then hold it an appropriately political event not at PRIDE ISLAND!? There’s just zero point in doing this when you know your audience is going to mostly be made up of people high off their face on molly looking to dance, hook up and have a wild time. No judgement with any of that but it’s just gonna go over like a lead balloon and all the talk of it is gonna be what a total fucking buzzkill Madonna was instead of how brilliant she is...

    So yesterday was my first time hearing this song and I was very worried because I was so looking forward to it as another  great album closer but reading the fan reviews when it was released got me really worried.  However, when I heard it I was overjoyed and relieved - I absolutely love it and it's one of my favorites.  Maybe it was because it was out of context that many didn't like it?  There's really nothing I don't like about this song, great lyrics, great vocals and melody and a wonderful message.  I think it speaks to M personally but is also universal to anyone who has felt attacked or marginalized or who just wants to give up.  I think this song stands proudly against other great album closers like Easy Ride, Secret Garden, and  Gone.  It's inspirational.

    Same, I can’t believe so many people were underwhelmed by this song. When I finally heard it I was blown away. Beautiful song and a beautiful close to the album.

    Which is the beauty of all artists! Some are lauded, some are hated, some deemed talentless, some worshipped, some enjoy longevity, some fade into oblivion. But their expression lives on for their fans.

    That’s certainly one interpretation...

    Waiting until Friday. It's my Dad's birthday so I am having lunch with him, then heading up to an island off the coast where I will hit play on Medellin as my toes touch the sand and the sun sinks towards the horizon. Looking forward to the journey Madame X takes me on as I wander along the shore.

    Now will you be high as well?! Cause that sounds damn near perfect.
