Madonna's brother Anthony Ciccone stoked a family feud, saying that his famous sister didn't care 'if I'm dead or alive.'

Pop queen Madonna has legions of fans. But her estranged brother, Anthony Ciccone, isn't one of them.

Ciccone, 56, is a homeless alcoholic who has lived on the freezing streets of Traverse City, Mich. For almost three years. And he's stoking the family feud between him and his famous sister.

Sometimes there’s just nobody to root for.

Go to Florida or Hawaii...good weather and good “benefits”.

The cliches, bromides, platitudes, banalities of the Help Industry will be repeated endlessly, as if they were original thoughts.

Home is the place where they always have to take you in, and will. I don’t remember who said it first, I heard it second hand, the Lake Wobegon guy, Wayne Dyer, or perhaps Kurt Vonnegut. No matter, it is true. Once you lose that “Home”, you become homeless. Alcoholism follows, because it is not in such cases the cause of homelessness, but often enough its result. Howard Hughes died homeless, as did Greta Garbo. Perhaps you have to have been there, as comfortable middle class asses have not (been there), to begin to understand the place where Mr Anthony Madonna (go ahead Captain Obvious, correct me again!) finds himself.

You are creator of that line, apparently. Is it true?

Two years ago there wasn’t such an outpouring of support on FR for Madonna against her brother.

I remember that discussion without having to look at the thread. I still cannot believe how many freepers were willing to ignore the facts and trounce on the Ciccone family for the choices they have made. Pretty obvious who has never had to deal with and addict of long, long standing...
