    I also didn't want to start a new topic for this... but in case there are any Toronto members going to Pride this weekend (or if you are visiting Toronto), they will be showing "Truth or Dare" on the at the Ryerson University Quad on Saturday, July 2nd. Ryerson is very near gay town and other Pride festivities going on.

    Film 4pm - 6pm, then a DJ will play Madonna at 6pm, plus other DJ's later, not sure if they play Madonna as well, lol.

    I'm hoping to get there for last section of film, and then enjoy the DJ. Not sure if they serve booze, but at most events at Pride where there's DJ's, they serve alcohol! And it's looking to be a nice, sunny day!

    Here are more deets:

  2. I remember the character Angela Bower sang it for a few bars on an episode of "Who's The Boss", haha.

    The song is quintessential pop and I'm glad she decided to do a song like this for the album LAP.

    It's never been on my favorite M tracks when I rank them, but I really do enjoy it. Especially when u hear it unexpectedly.

    My fave part has always been the little breakdown at the end:

    Cherish
    Give me faith
    Give me joy, my boy
    I will always cherish you!

    Queen of hooks!!!

  3. She really put her heart and soul into the writing and concept for this era. And you're right, so much of it applies to things that have happened.

    Which is why I get annoyed when people think she's just trying to sell an album when saying #RebelHeart. It's a concept, a character, her life, and the lives of anybody who wants to take something from it!

  4. I was just thinking about that hackaction the other day, haha... how odd... and yes, the whole "what the fuck do you think you're doing" upon illegally downloading her songs. She should have whipped that out again for "Rebel Heart", lol.

    And then when they had the contest to mix the best version of a song using ""what the fuck do you think you're doing"!! I had that CD at one point. Gotta find it again. One of the coolest tracks was the Missy Elliot mix with "She's a Bitch"... damn i wish it was on youtube or somewhere.

  5. I had to listen to the demo again because a lot of people say it's better, but I like the album version best upon comparison. Production is really slick. Though I suppose they could have thrown in the harmonies on the final version.

  6. Some hardcore fans might not like it, but greatest hits are usually good for getting people into artists. Especially before the digital age where songs can now be easily compiled, and before album sales went into the shitter. But even still today, certain people will check out greatest hits.

    It would have been nice to have a new song. And a more inspired name to the collection. But I have my copy and love that there was a greatest hits at that point in the second decade of her career. It made sense to have another collection from her.

  7. I'm pretty lucky that most family and friends know I am a huge Madonna freak, and are therefore pretty kind when it comes to topics about her. She comes up a fair amount or is played if I am hanging with people for extended periods of time, haha.

    If people don't like her, fine. I can handle it. But I like what was stated by pjcowley above - it if is an idiotic remark like something ageist, then she should be defended.
