Okay, now--even I admit The Specials are in a different league than say The Mighty Mighty Bosstones...
A useless old whore, trying to capture her past glory. I haven't heard a Madonna song in years.
Oh forget it... They actually trademarked his name "Prince" if you can believe it which is why he changed it to the symbol. I`ll never understand why anyone would sign a record deal, especially today. Record companies today are nothing more than loan companies...They lend these artists/bands money to make an album, make a video, go on tour, and they put stuff in the contract that the artists sees no profit until all that money is paid back.
So if they sell no albums guess what happens? Bankruptcy. Alot of these naive musicians never cover their arses with tough lawyers (which cost money) so these record companies put stuff in the contract that they own everything the artist writes, that the artist has to pay the lawyers, the promo people, this is paid and that is paid etc etc it`s insane. Unless these musicians have a lawyer or a manager who is an absolute animal in negotiating, these record companies will not hesitate for a second to drain every last cent from a musician.
I really don`t see the point of having a record deal anyway, you can pretty much do everything yourself nowdays through the internet. You can even hire your own publicist for $1000 bucks. Of course you have to produce something good or it won`t sell (even if you are Prince), it won`t create a word of mouth situation (which really sells albums), but at least you won`t lose your ass in the process. Of course you won`t get a video on MTV (Empty-V) but since when did MTV have anything to do with music in the first place? Blind people sure don`t need it.
I GOOGLED it like I do most everything else.
Boring dunce.
I can't believe this was held in a Church.
She sucks period, anyone that pays money to see her is drunk or stoned.

I can`t believe people paid money to see this. It`s like a lame Broadway musical. You can literally go out in the streets here in New York city and see better acts.
Madonna reminds me a little of Elton John: both were unquestionably talented and exciting at the beginning of their careers, then they degenerated into theatrical self-parody.
EJ's early songs were memorably good. Then they just became junk. Madonna's work I'm not so familiar with, but I did initially have respect for her. Now, reading about these silly antics, I feel pity & contempt over her desperate need for attention.
Amen to that.
Candle in the Wind is the single greatest ode to medocrity I have every heard.
You are sooo brave Madonna. Picking on a religion that actually is "peaceful".
Why doncha show us how tough you really are and impale yourself on a Koran???
Gutless witch.

The LA Forum is owned by a Church....
sheesh
LOL! I was *just* recalling that memorable line: "THE SOW IS MINE!!"
We have some anti christian type folks on FR. I ran into some recently. It is shocking.
wow, was that what I thought it was ?
There was an ultra-hip, clove-cigarette-smoking Japanese student on our floor freshman year, back in 1980. We were all listening to "The Wall." He was into ska.
At a party at a football frat early in the year, he voiced the immortal line, "How about some ska?" We got him out before he could be beaten to a bloody pulp.
