Madonna Saturday-Rabbit Leopold

Back from two nights at United Center in Chicago-the Real Heartland of the Midwest, Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune called the MDNA Performance as "Fresh Pop as Performance Art!"-That it will always be for a homegrown heartland All-American Material Girl.  Madonna Ciccone is her name-and she's Immortal Forever!

Madonna Friday-Rabbit Leopold

Four Nights at Yankee Stadium-Madonna: First female rocker to do that!

Madonna Song of the Day-American Life from record of same name
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Do you think I'm satisfied?!"
-No, of course not! Madonna has made her mistakes but they've made her a lot more human.  And what is so wrong about that?

Madonna Wednesday-Rabbit Leopold

From Banknorth Garden in Boston to Yankee Stadium in New York, the MDNA Tour keeps winning raves for Madonna.  The show "is the soul of a journey from darkness to light"-and we somehow believe her! On with the show, Maddy!

Madonna Song of the Day-Take a Bow from Greatest Hits Volume 2
-Lyric quote from Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"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!"-No truer lyrics in a Madonna tune have ever been sung.  Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie never Lived to Tell-they never learned their lessons well because Madonna is no stranger to heartbreak.  Call this Michigan divorcee the Unlucky Star when it comes to love!

Madonna Sunday-Rabbit Leopold

On the Road to Boston, Madonna gives a high-energy performance.  She gives an impassioned speech about why she loves America.  A beautiful homecoming.  The hardest working and rocking live performer in showbiz! The Lady Rocks!

Madonna Song of the Day-Paradise from Music-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Into your eyes/My face remains!-Another stunner and shocker from The Lady of Them All!-Madonna-Her mother's memory is in her heart.  Beautiful ballad.

Madonna Friday-Rabbit Leopold

After two nights in the Canadian Province of French Quebec-Montreal and Quebec City, Madonna said to the audiences at Bell Centre and Plains of Abraham, "I am Proud of my French-Canadian Heritage!" Les Quebecois cheered Madonna.  Unfortunately, just days after the Montreal and Quebec City MDNA performances, riots broke out in Quebec Province because of the so-called separatist movement.  This kind of nationalism must stop if our Neighbor up North-Canada-is to remain one country.  Pray that this kind of political and ideal farrago does not happen in the good old US of A!

Madonna Song of the Day-Mer Girl from Ray of Light-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"I ran and I ran/I'm still running away!"
No, Madonna will never get over the shock and horror of her mother's death.  Madonna is crying.  The impact of Mer Girl hits-and then it shudders.
