Madonna Song of the Day-What It Feels Like for a Girl from Music
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson via Charlotte Gainsbourg-"Do You Know/What It Feels Like for a Girl?/What It Feels Like in this world?"-Probing question for beautiful rebel daughter Lola, who is now so much like her mother Madge it's almost scary but both Lola and Madonna will get through it all! Inspired by French movie The Cement Garden.

Tonight this blog is dedicated to Mother Rabbit Andrea Rauh.  With Love, Rabbit Leopold-Hop!

Madonna Tuesday-Rabbit Leopold

Had a great Memorial Weekend, Hopping to Baltimore Harbor, watching a parade and honoring the troops-never forgetting the real meaning of Memorial.  I wear the cross with honor-Freedom ain't free: An American Rabbit Soldier-Bunny Leopold.  The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were
Somebody to Love by Queen and Hitch a Ride by Boston-both 1976, Against the Wind
by Bob Seger-1980 and Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen-1975.  Thanks always to Calvin, Rosie, Megan, both Rachels, Ashley, Allie, Lia and Faith.  Excellent Rabbits All!-Hop!

Madonna Song of the Day-Frozen from Ray of Light-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"You're Frozen When Your Heart's Not Open...If I Could Melt Your Heart..."-One of the lady's most poignant vocal turns, the ethereal Rock ballad Frozen is positively heartbreaking.  Co-written by Patrick Leonard and Billy Orbit, Madonna turned in a brilliant ballad performance.  Inspired by Michael Onaatje's romance novels that later became Oscar movies The Sheltering Sky and The English Patient, Madonna later refected and cried with sadness-"To be loved like that or to love someone that way!"-She'll never forget Sean Penn or Guy Ritchie anytime soon because both Sean and Guy changed her life and made her the woman she is today.  Frozen-Truly-and Daring-One of Madonna's best songs.

This blog tonight goes out to my friend, brother and theologian from Nashville-Bill Friskics-Warren.

Madonna Song of the Day-High Flying Adored from Evita-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson via Antonio Banderas, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice-"High Flying Adored/That's Good to Hear but Unimportant/My Story's Quite Usual/Local Girl Makes Good with Famous Men!/I Was Stuck at the Right Place at the Perfect Time!/I Was Young/I Was Lucky/But One Thing I'll Say for Me/No One Else Can Fill It Like I Can!"-And that, friends-sums up Madonna's message, viewpoint, philosophy and way of life.  She is a Material Girl and an aristocrat but she is also a Rocker, a Rebel and a Ray of Light in our world.  Madonna will never have it any other way! Madonna is the Queen of Reinvention and she takes that an gives it very seriously in her art, life and work.  Madonna truly is "the lady of them all!" After Evita and motherhood-Next Stops: Ray of Light to MDNA and the rest is the Rock History of Our Future and I'm so glad and happ to be a part of it and to be living in the Madonna Age.  Long May She Run!

Madonna Song of the Day-I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You from Evita-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson via Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice-"I'm Not Talking of a Hurried
Life (Night)/A Frantic Tumble and a Shy Goodbye/Creeping Home Before It Gets Too Light/That's Not the Reason That I Caught Your Eye!/Which Has to Imply/I'd Be Good for You/I'd Be Surprisingly
Good for You!"-One of Madonna's most tender and prettiest ballads, this tender and disarming Ciccone performance shows Maddy's beautiful Evita/W.E. voice at its most tender, fragile and vulnerable.  Madge is so happy that she cries! Come to think of it, I'd Be Surprisingly Good for Her Too!

Tonight this blog is in loving memory of Robert Moog-a man who did a lot for keyboards in rock.  May He Rock in Peace!

-"Come inside!/I'd like to direct your attention/To something that needs directing to/Well let me remind you in case you didn't already know/Dining out can happen/Down below!/Go down/Where all life begins...It's warm inside!"-Pehaps Madonna's most passionate and impassioned song she ever laid down on wax

(live out) your fantasy here with me/Just let Music set you Free/Touch my body!/Move in time/Now I know you're mine!/Get Into the Groove!..."-The quintessential Eighties Madonna Tune! Need I Say More?

by the Beatles and One of These Nights by the Eagles.  Had Fun at the Jazz Festival today and Great Rabbit Day with Rosie, Danielle, Brittany, Rachel Hip-Hopper and Jackie.  Great to see Brittany's Dog Jake! Woof! Bark!

Madonna Song of the Day-Hanky Panky from I'm Breathless (Dick Tracy)-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Come over here, yeah!/You can just Spank Me/Like
Hanky Panky/Nothing like a god spanky,,,My bottom hurts just thinking about it!/Give me
a spanky!/Hanky Panky!/Give it up honey because I want it, yeah!/Get the picture?"
-The backlash that was just about to hit Madonna just as she was about to be crowned Queen of Pop by the tabloids.  With the sexual and naughty Hanky Panky, Madonna was now a Sex Object.  The innocent ingenue that characterized Holiday, Material Girl, True Blue and Cherish was gone forever.  From
1990-1994, it seemed as if Madonna and I-from a fan's perspective-had come to a parting of the ways.  What was she to do now? For Madonna, rough times were ahead as she player her Body of Evidence that was a Dangerous Game of Truth or Dare.  Worst of all was the Sex Book...  

Madonna Friday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Back in Black by AC/DC, Love in an Elevator

Madonna Song of the Day-Promise to Try from Like a Prayer
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Little Girl/Don't You Forget Her Face/Laughing Away Your Tears/When She Was the One/Who Felt All the Pain...Will She See Me Cry When I Stumble and Fall/Does She Hear My Voice in the Night When I Call?/Wipe Away All Your Tears.It's Gonna Be Alright...Don't Let Memory Play Games with Your Mind/She's a Faded Smile/Frozen in Time/I'm Still Hanging On but I'm Doing It Wrong!/Can't Kiss Her Goodbye but I Promise to Try!"-A song for her beloved mother, Promise to Try might be the saddest song/ballad/performance Madonna Has Ever Recorded.  The most beautiful song in the history of the English language-Well done and good show
Madge Ciccone!

Madonna Monday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Mother by Pink Floyd, Finish What Ya Started by Van Halen, Movin' Out

-For many fans, the quintessential Madonna tune, that's Into the Groove.  Love, sex, Music and dance! What more can we all want?
Once Again, Madonna Delivers! Miss Ciccone's Happiest Song Ever!

Madonna Sunday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Norwegian Wood (original demo version)
by the Beatles, Heartbreaker/Livin' Lovin' Maid (She's Just a Woman) by Led Zeppelin, Lonely Ol' Night

Madonna Song of the Day-Can't Stop from Who's That Girl?-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"Can't Stop!/Can't stop thinking about you babe/Can't Stop!/Can't stop screaming and shouting your name/Can't Stop!/Look out boy because I'm going to the top/Of your list/Can't Stop!...I can work a spell on your soul...Don't be afraid to try/Just let me love you for awhile...Can't Stop!"-Even when her writing is not at her best-this obscure album cut is a prime example-The Madonna tune that got away!-good ol' Madge still sings Can't Stop with absolute emotion and feeling.  Ever the hopeful romantic obsessive, this song is one of her more optimistic paeans about love.  Maybe That's Why Madonna Keeps Coming Back for More Adoration and Brilliance!

Madonna Saturday-Rabbit Leopold

Happy Fifth of May-Heart of the Springtime! I enjoyed hanging out with the birds-Owl and Hawk-today.  To Jackie, Cindy, Ashley and Megan-Beautiful Lady Rabbits All!-Hop!

Madonna Song of the Day-Where's the Party?-from True Blue
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Working Monday through Friday/Takes up all of my time/If I can get to the weekend/Everything will work out just fine!...Where's the Party?/I Want to Free my Soul!/Where's the Party?/I Want to Lose Control!...I'm Ready Now!/Where's the Party?...We can make it alright/We can make you dance/We can make a party last all night!..."-Something tells me that Madonna is singing this album cut dance anthem out of desperation and sadness because that's what Where's the Party? sure sounds like! Lady Madonna just wants to have a good time but there are two things our Lady Evita/Material Mom just can't escape-the media breathing down her back and her mother's death.  All of which gives Where's the Party? much-needed gravitas and depth.  Madonna is definitely crying sad tears in this baila dance! Cry On, my Sweetheart Ciccone!

I had a a great day with Allie, Rachel Hip-Hopper, Ashley and Megan! Brilliant Rabbits All! Hop!

Madonna Song of the Day-Pretender from Like a Virgin-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
-"If it happens once, it happens twice!/I Know All about Your Kind!...He's a pretender!...Why did I fall in love?"-Yes, this is Madonna's first example of a subject she knows all too well!-The Cheating Song.  Having been scorned both by Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie hurts a lot! I guess Madonna is the Queen of the Broken Hearts After All!
