Madonna Tuesday-Rabbit Leopold

Thank You Bunny Rosie for your help and friendship-I Love You a Whole Bunch!-The Four
Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Gimme Back My Bullets by Lynyrd Skynyrd
and Rock & Roll Never Forgets by Bob Seger-1976 and I Can't Tell You Why by the Eagles
and Cheap Sunglasses by ZZ Top-1979.  Classic American Rock & Roll-100.7 The Bay-Baltimore's Classic Rock! The Bay Rocks!

Madonna Song of the Day-Sooner or Later-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson
via Stephen Sondheim-"Sooner or later...I always get my man!"-Further proof that Our Lady had come a long way from early Ciccone hits Material Girl and Into the Groove.  However, here
-Madonna does something quite different-She imbues the Sondheim melody with a marked sadness and makes it her own-as if Maddy might and will never get her man in the end after all this time searching for love-just ask Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie-and finding absolutely nothing to soothe or comfort her.  Madge is Crying, no question about it!

"A Victim of a Kind of Rage!"-The Ciccone ballad Oh Father burns with anger and Madonna is screaming, raging and crying in catharsis and rage and at authority

Madonna Friday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Don't Do Me Like That
by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-1979, New Year's Day by U2-1983,
Lyin' Eyes by the Eagles-1975 and The Other Side by Aerosmith-1989.  For Madonna, she's a lifer.  Rock On Madge!

Madonna Song of the Day-Where's the Party?-from You Can Dance-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Where's the Party?/I Want to Free My Soul!"-Madonna is likely asking that question as many fans booed her last night in Paris.  Cheer up, Madge-To paraphrase a song of yours named Fighting Spirit
-Keep the Fighting Spirit and you'll begin again! Keep the fighting Spirit of love! Your move, Maddy!

Madonna Thursday-Rabbit Leopold

The Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Locomotive Breath
by Jethro Tull-1971, Feelin' Satisfied by Boston and Wheel in the Sky by Journey

Lady Madonna, c'est magnifique!

-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Get closer to the Fire!...An invitation to the Dance!...Who's That Girl?/Who's That Girl?...What Can Help Me Now?/No One Can Help Me Now!/Who's That Girl?/Who's That Girl?"-In this sad Ciccone ballad-Evita Prelude #2 it's also named, I can hear the sadness in Madonna's beautiful voice.  Madonna Cries Alone in Tears.

Madonna Song of the Day-Borderline from The First Album-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson via first collaborator Reggie Lucas-"Something in the way you love me won't let me be!...You just keep on pushing my love over the Borderline!"-Yup, that about says it all doesn't it? Queen Maddy found her first theme/motif in Borderline-Unrequited love that never quite gets there.  Madonna is perplexed and frustrated at Sean and Guy! Borderline-the first Madonna tune/Kabbalah sermon to scream
"A Victim of a Kind of Rage!" Madonna's life is not the same.  Our lives are not the same.  Mission accomplished, Miss Ciccone!
