I have to agree on Madonna...LOL
I also agree on Madonna being a modern day Nero. I was influenced by Joni’s guitar work, her lyrics and her phrasing in song but I was first influenced by Dylan and Judy Collins.
I have never paid any heed to her politics or her hatred of my Church. She’s an artist and as I come from a family of them I recognize the wackiness for what it is...she’s nuts. The media isn’t helping her sell any paintings as she isn’t wacky or talented enough, she’s only in it to feed her ego. She could have learned much from Leonard Cohen.
