Sorry, Keith, but I have to agree with Dean on this one. I mean, I have nothing against Madonna personally. In fact, she seems to have quite a few redeeming qualities. For starters, she’s one of my leo brethren–uh, sistren. She’s also charmingly eccentric, and when it comes to marketing, she’s a whiz kid nonpareil. I even find her music bearable–and with the right re-mixer, it can be downright enjoyable. Why, I’ve juked to nearly all her diddies, from “Everybody” (my personal Zen-disco-minimal favorite) to the recent “Music,” with the notable exception of the duck-and-cover-inducing “Cherish.” (*shudder* Let us never speak of it again.)
No, my problem with the M. Lady stems not so much from her funky-but-puerile music, but from the cult she’s created among the Marys. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Madonna, save me from your homo disciples.
