Madonna Friday-Rabbit Leopold

Michigan is a beautiful state.  It has many lakes, great and small. It's proud to be from the Midwest-Built Ford Tough-Mustangs Rule in Detroit.  And it has a proud Rock tradition.  One of them is its MDNA Decoder, its Evita and its Ray of Light.  Her Name is Madonna because Art and Reinvention are her middle names.  There'll Never Be Another Like Her! In the Evidence of Her Brilliance! Madonna Forever!

Madonna Song of the Day-La Isla Bonita from Celebration-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"Tropical the island breeze/All of Nature wild and free/This is where I long to be/La isla bonita!"
-Evita Prelude #1, La Isla Bonita sparkles and shines with a sweet ebullience and a melancholy, yet hopeful undertow.  Like all the best Madonna tunes, it has happiness and joy, longing and yearning
-and sadness and heartbreak-Madonna/Evita/Wallis does her tightrope happy/sad balancing act of tears and hope and flashes a smile to say "I love you!" to all of us who all care to listen.  My hat is off to her. 
Te amo-Muchas gracias, Dona Ciccone/Peron/Simpson!

To Rosie, Megan, Rachel Hip-Hopper, Jackie and Nicole-Rabbit Love and Hops to All!

Madonna Song of the Day-Erotica from Celebration-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"Erotic, erotic/Put your hands all over my body!"-In which sex is a work of art and a feeling of love! I am really quite touched by Madonna's musical hook.  And Inside, Madonna's All Still Wet!
-with Desire, Passion and Love! That's the Madonna I know and love! Your move, Lady Ciccone! Decoder=MDNA!

Madonna Wednesday-Rabbit Leopold

Rabbit Love and Hops to All!-L.R.

Madonna Song of the Day-Miles Away from Hard Candy-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"You always love me more/Miles Away/You always have the biggest heart/When we're 6000 miles apart/Miles Away...I'm alright/Don't be Sorry, but it's True/When I'm Gone/You'll Realize that I'm the best thing to happen to you/Miles Away/So Far Away!"-In hindsight, now that Guy Ritchie is out of Madonna's life-it was bound to happen.  How her Ray of Light turned into an Abyss of Despair! A Sad End!

Madonna Saturday-Rabbit Leopold

Had another great springtime Rabbit day today with Ashley, Cindy and Megan-The Rain-apologies to Madonna
-finally came and showered the Earth-Happy Earth Day! The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today on 100.7 The Bay were Those Shoes by the Eagles, Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp, Suffergette City
by David Bowie and Rocket by Def Leppard.  A big tip of the hat to Mr. Dick Clark-the man responsible for bringing Madonna to an international audience.  He will be sorely missed and will never be forgotten! Here's to you, Mr. Clark!

Madonna Song of the Day-Music/Where's the Party? mashup from The Confessions Tour
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Hey Mister DJ!/Put my records on!/I Wanna Dance with my baby!...Music makes the people come together!/Where's the Party?/I want to free my soul!/Where's the Party?/I want to lose control!"-That they do.  Madonna, music and dance come together in a nonstop instant party confessional in which Her Detroit Ladyship dances her tears and heartbreak away with a beautiful Mustang Smile.  As she lassoes up her loud Ford 6-Speed Musclecar Horse, Madonna may be known the world over but in our hearts, she's still the Michigan Evita/Ray of Light Material Girl next door who brings smiles to the faces of rock critics who love, cherish and adore her music.  May it always be this way! Her Name lives forever more.  Contains interpolations of the following Ciccone concertos-"Everybody," "Borderline," "Dress You Up," "Vogue," "Justify My Love" and "Erotica."

Madonna Friday-Rabbit Leopold

Had a great day today, marred somewhat by the sad death of the drummer of the Band-Levon Helm was his name-he was one of rock & roll's Good Guys-always there and ready to lend a helping hand to those in need or who were lost.  Along with Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd-extending all the way to such compadres and desperadoes as far-reaching as the Hooters, Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Wilco,
My Morning Jacket and the Drive-by Truckers, the Band pioneered a style of Rock known as Roots Rock
-known as Americana and Alt-Country in other parts depending on when and where you listened.  Regardless, it is good organic music for the heart and soul.  Mr. Helm will never be forgotten by me!
Rock in Peace, Levon! The most unique rock drummer ever! In honor of Mr. Helm, the Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Up on Cripple Creek by the Band, In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel,
Take It Easy by the Eagles and Hell's Bells by AC/DC.  Levon Helm, I Salute You!

Madonna Song of the Day-Hollywood from I'm Going to Tell You a Secret-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Everybody comes to Hollywood/They wanna make it in the neighborhood/They like the smell of it in Hollywood/How could it hurt you when it looks so good?"
-Yes, Madonna has mixed feelings about stardom, celebrity and fame but she wouldn't have it any other way because when it comes to functions and awards time, The Lady Handles Her Life with Dignity, Beauty and Grace.  To Madonna, Ooh La La You're My Superstar-I Love What You Are!

Madonna Tuesday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones, Hello/Goodbye
by the Beatles, Tube Snake Boogie by ZZ Top and Keep on Loving You by REO Speedwagon-all great classic rock songs! The Wizards played their best game last night in Chicago beating the Bulls 87-84.  Can't wait for Neil Young's new masterpiece Americana.

Madonna Song of the Day-How High?-from Confessions on a Dance Floor-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"How High are the stakes?/How much Fortune can you make?/Should I Carry On?/Will It Matter When I'm Gone?"-As a diehard Madonna fanatic, believe you me-it absolutely does matter because Madonna's Music and Art definitely matter because it's timeless and eternal! My answer to Madonna's questions-You betcha Madge!

Madonna Sunday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Small Town (acoustic version) by John Mellencamp, Rockin' Me by Steve Miller, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John and I Love Rock & Roll
by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.  Had lots of fun with Jason today!

Madonna Song of the Day-Nobody Knows Me from Remixed and Revisted
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"I've Had So Many Lives/Since I Was a Child!/And I Realize/How Many Times I've Died!/Nobody Knows Me!"-Definitely American Life's standout cut, this sad song reveals Madonna's insecurities one sad tear at a time.  That's why Nobody Knows Me is a good Madonna song.  The Lady is all too human!

Madonna Saturday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today are songs that focus on the meaning of life-or sometimes
-the lack thereof-and they were I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2, Brain Damage/Eclipse
by Pink Floyd, Follow You Follow Me by Genesis and Won't Get Fooled Again by the Who.  I fed the birds today!-Lucky Me!

Madonna Song of the Day-Nothing Fails from American Life-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"I've Climbed the Tree of Life-I'm No Longer Scared If I Fall!...Nothing Fails/No More Fears/Nothing Fails/You Washed Away My Tears!/I'm Not Religious but I Feel So Moved and I Feel Loved and It Makes Me Want to Pray/I Feel Loved/Nothing Fails!"-A Beautiful acoustic piece written for then-husband and forever soulmate Guy Ritchie-Here, Madonna Delivers a Performance that is still sad, moving and heartfelt given the fact their love had to end.  Even her guitar is in tears crying the Detroit Ciccone Blues.  The Marriage may not have survived but the music does.

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin,

Madonna Song of the Day-Bedtime Stories from Greatest Hits Volume 2-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson via Bjork-"Today is the Last Day I'll Use Words/They're Useless and do not stand for anything!/I'm Traveling into the arms of unconsciousness!/And Inside/We're All Still Wet!/Longing and Yearning/How Can I Explain How I Feel?/And All That You've Ever Learned/Try to Forget/Because I Will Never Explain Again!"-Bedtime Stories is one of Lady Madge's "A Victim of a Kind of Rage!" songs, that's for sure! She is complex yet misunderstood. Moreover, Madonna just might be "the most famous person alive"
-yet she is endearingly disarming and vulnerable to the nth degree.  In any case, the lady will never be forgotten!

Madonna Thursday-Rabbit Leopold

The anti-Madonna bias that Rock Radio dishes out at her is quite simply vitriolic and disrespectful.  The attitude they have against her makes me not want to listen to those stations anymore! To even the non-fans, please show Madonna some love, respect and kindness!
She deserves acclaim not critique!

Madonna Song of the Day-Nobody's Perfect from Music-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"I feel so sad!/What I did wasn't right...I must say to you...I'm sorry!/Nobody's Perfect/I will do my best!...Yeah!-The truest and most honest song of Madonna's life!

Let's get to the point here! I've had enough of reality checks, euphemisms, rants and open letters.  They're no more than attitudinal threats! To society itself, please don't give me that attitude! Let's try and show a little emotion, respect and kindness to each other, alright please?

Madonna Song of the Day-Skin from Ray of Light-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson

Happy Easter! All Rabbits Rise Up! For Maman Lapine, Allie and Calvin.  The Four Classic Rock Songs That
I Heard today were Fame by David Bowie, Hollywood Nights by Bob Seger, Good Times Bad Times
by Led Zeppelin and I'll Wait by Van Halen.  As we reflect the suffering and torture Jesus went through in stylistic audacity that led to his tragic murder these many years ago-in the music and lyrics by Jon Anderson, Chris Squire and Trevor Rabin in one of the best songs ever by Yes-"Hold On to What Is Yours!"-The duty to do so is up to us.  Once again, Happy Easter to All Rabbits.  Hop!

Happy Good Friday!-one of my favorite days of 12! The Four Classic Rock Songs I Heard today were
Can't You See? by the Marshall Tucker Band, Saturday Night Special by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rag Doll

-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"Take a Bow/The Night is Over...All the world is a stage/Everyone has their part/How was I to know which way my story would go?/And how was I to know you'd break my heart?/I've always been in love with you/I guess you've always known it's true/You took my love for granted/Why, oh why?/This show is over, say goodbye."-Funnily enough, this beautiful Ciccone heartbreaker/Evita prelude #4/#1 hit chart-topper is one of Madonna's best songs ever.  Madonna sing and cries Take a Bow with a beautiful sadness.  Contrary to what her lyrics described, the world will never say goodbye to Madonna.  She is Brilliant and Immortal!

Madonna Thursday-Rabbit Leopold

Ah, the mid-Seventies! Was this really Classic Rock!? I Beg to Differ! An absolutely dreadful, boring and horrible time in rock & roll.  1973, 1974 and 1975.  Still there were some gems during this period among them.  The Four Classic Rock Songs I Heard today were Tush by ZZ Top, The Joker by Steve Miller,
Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Bitch Is Back by Elton John.  All pleasant enough
boogie rock but nothing too dangerous, memorable or exciting! No wonder punk rock had to happen.  It couldn't come soon or fast enough-To that period, I say good riddance!

Madonna Song of the Day-Secret Garden from Erotica-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"That's why I'm still looking/For a petal that isn't torn/A heart that will not harden/A place that I can be born/It's in my Secret Garden..."-Think of First Freakout/Erotica as Madonna's Through the Wilderness period where she was desperately searching for herself in the terrible scandal of the Sex book.  Desperately trying to be a mother with Lola, Rocco, David and Mercy-And Inside, All Still Wet with Sad Tears Streaming Down Her Face, Madonna Dared to Face Her Moment of Truth by Sheer Force of Will Determination and Grace Too.

Madonna Monday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs I Heard today were One of These Nights by the Eagles, Angie by the Rolling Stones, Old Man

Madonna Song of the Day-La Isla Bonita from The Immaculate Collection-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"Tropical the island breeze/All of Nature wild and free/This is where I long to be/La isla bonita."-All at once, La Isla Bonita is her Spanish Lullaby and her Evit Prelude #1.  Result-Madonna's first chapter of The Reason for My Life.  Madonna=Brilliance!

Madonna Sunday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs I Heard today are by giants of Hard Rock
-they were Sister Christian (acoustic version) by Night Ranger, Hysteria by Def Leppard, Going to California
by Led Zeppelin and TNT by AC/DC.  I am still alive and grateful for it! This is something I will remember!

Madonna Song of the Day-Now I'm Following You (Parts 1 and 2)-from I'm Breathless (Dick Tracy)
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson via Stephen Sondheim and Warren Beatty
-"Romance is in the picture too/Now I'm Following You!"-One of Madonna's oddities and curios, this song is exactly why Madonna is special to all of us.  For all her sadness and heartbreak, Lady Madge is fun, outgoing and engaging.  That's one of her better qualities.
