Madonna and her ilk are nothing to be worshipped. These "actors" and performers are simply entertainment. I get so sick of the idolizing of these "grown ups that play pretend".

Their political opinions are usually ludricous as their take on reality is skewed beyond belief. I have spent time around those Hollywood celebs and they are a supersillous lot.

Why anyone would care about anything other than their next "act" is beyond me.

Madonna and her 22 year old men…..I know the guys are hot, but there is something extremely sexy about a man in his 40s.  He loses the "boyish" look and really becomes more masculine.  I’ll take a man in his 40’s over a 22 year old any day.   Who wants to make love to a boy?

Ok I realize that the Sticky & Sweet tour was the biggest, and best you know….most money raking in tour ever, but c’mon. My thoughts are these, Madonna needs to make an album that actually gets heard on American radio instead of touring in Europe again. Madonna needs to get a great album together with 4 or 5 potential big RADIO hits and then tour the Radio Stations doing interviews and cool outreach to the people (read her potential American audience).

When I tried to get SINGLES played on local RADIO programs the RADIO DJs actually laughed. OK MADONNA fan we’ll play Vogue or Like a Prayer again….ARGH!! I realize that Hung Up & Sorry were big number ones in Europe and around the world but American Radio played Hung Up Once all around the world and then threw it in the trash can. 4 minutes got a bit more on air spins and then also got consigned to the dust bin of artists who have forgotten about the power of radio. Second singles like Give It 2 Me, Sorry, Don’t Tell Me, and anything off American Life were forgotten about even b4 they were sent to radio stations for possible Radio plays.

All my friends, people who loved when Madonna was all over radio and MTV either think Madonna died or gave up a long time ago or just doesn’t care anymore, why?, because they don’t ever hear a great new song to rock out to on the radio while their driving or where ever your listening to the radio.

If any LIVEnation people ever read this trolling FAN sites to read the weather patterns of fan likes and dislikes I hope to GOD they read this. When Distribution hacks forget the power of Radio to get fans around the world excited, radio listeners stop listening to the artists.

American Radio In General forgot why Madonna was cool sometime after Bedtime stories and Maybe around Evita, Ray of Light was a great album and all, but sold 1/3 of sales for Like A Virgin, and True Blue in america and American Madonna music sales and Radio air spins for new material since have had a few high points while on a downward trajectory to Radio heat death; examples being Frozen (ROL) and Music (music), Hung Up (Confessions), and 4 Minutes (Hard Candy).

That said Madonna is still considered a Big Star in the world, and in America an old, historical Big Star from the 80’s and early 90’s and her presence at Radio Stations would be like setting off a Nuke. "OMG, is Madonna in the radio station, is she singing her new song LIVE on the RADIO?"

Stop phoning in interviews to Radio DJs. When we listen we realize what you’re doing and that they the DJS and us the radio audience are not special enough to warrant a in person interview and so why should we pay any attention to an artist that phones in her interviews.

Hard Candy Madonna’s most recent album had several songs that could have been BIG on the radio including Dance 2night, Beat goes On, Give it 2 Me, Heartbeat, Incredible and Miles away but their potential was pissed away by someone, who? radio execs? A&R people? Distribution people? Whoever it was in the end the buck stops at madonna’s feet. How many number 1’s could she have had in AMerican radio with these songs? We’ll never know as they never got listened to on the radio.

It’s heartbreaking for this fan that so much great music and potential was again pissed away. I want all Madonna albums to have the promotion and radio expression they deserve. Madonna’s music isn’t just inspiring it rocks hard and it’s just soooo damn sad that a truly great artist is forgotten by the American audience.

Thank you for your time reading this and your attention. I hope that Madonna is once again The Queen of Pop(radio) and that greater attention is brought to her American radio audience, the fertile earth that helped her first Album, Like A Virgin, and True blue grow to Diamond status in the US. In a present like ours were MTV and VH1 show more dumb reality shows, RADIO again is the New MTV. Think about that for a minute.

RADIO IS THE CONTEMPORARY MTV. The internet is cool and all but it’s made for diehard fans to hunt and peck to find madonna. RADIO is free, omnipresent and in your ears! Where all good new singles are heard.

Peace & Blessings

I glanced at the other threads, where we have the same old arguments being played out, right versus left, left versus blech—I am so sick of that—the posts are in the hundreds. Clearly, this is to the benefit of wOw, not to its loyal audience. 

It is becoming a tad too predictable here.

I had some bad news today and I came here to get my mind off of the sad, awful, horrid parts of living through a Second Nationwide Great Depression.  Could we please have some topics that bring us together?  Please?  It takes some creativity to find a topic that isn’t so obvious that we already know the players and their answers on both sides, but golly, could we just try?

 Too much to ask for?  I think not.  How about that snowstorm today?  Eh?
