I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know...please don't say you're sorry

I've heard it all before...and I...can take care of myself...~Madonna's "Sorry" from 'Confessions on a Dance Floor'

HAVE YOU CONFESSED?

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Madonna.
Madonna.
Madonna.

Seriously? Seriously. 2 seats off the catwalk, 17 rows from the main stage, 2 rows off the secondary stage. She is unbelievable. Her show is a 2 hour cardio workout and she SINGS. I love her. I love her. I love her. An unbelievable performer. She now sits firmly in my top ten with Sir Paul, Prince, Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls. Sir Paul is and always will be numero uno, but between Prince and Madonna, it's a toss up for the number 2 spot. Unbe-fucking-lievable. The sheer athleticism of what she was doing up there and to sing on top of it? Whole new respect. I thought the new CD was just okay until I saw it last night and now I'm listening nonstop. AND I got Madonna buttons for my jean jacket...how super-gay is that? Yeah, I love it.

AND Ozzie Guillen was there and we got his autograph for Owen. It's on a Depakote post-it note that we got from the people sitting next to us...but hey - beggars can't be choosers, right? And P.S. - Ozzie's son? WAAAAAAAAAY hotter in person than I remember him from the World Series coverage last year. Super hot.

As for the heat in the United Center due to the lack of air conditioning, it wasn't unbearable in there. I was jumping around like a maniac, so I think I would have been sweating regardless.

Old stuff - she did Like a Virgin...Live to Tell...Ray of Light (which was also one of my faves with her on guitar...ab fab) Substitute for Love, Erotica, La Isla Bonita, Music, Lucky Star.

I know SOME people (I'm lookin' at you, pea) - think she's just a worthless whore...but I'm telling you...even if you don't appreciate her music or that sex phase she went through...she is an amazing female artist, and after 23 years...Phenom. And her body? Pilates here I come...no one should be able to do what she did for 120 minutes without air conditioning. She didn't even look like she was breathing heavy.

Maybe I'll be able to focus on something else tomorrow...but today...no way.

Look at me all you want, Madonna and I would not have this problem if she hadn't stolen Sean from me, that back stabbing bitch. He was MINE, he knows it, she knows it and everyone else knows it. Seriously I wouldn't go so far as to call her a worthless whore, I leave that name from my close friends...talented yes, supple at 40+ yes, amazing female artist yes...but she stole my man

I am glad you had fun

Ahhhhhh, I didn't realize this was about SEAN...yes, man-stealing can leave you bitter for certain.

Had a blast in case you couldn't tell.

Additionally, can someone PLEASE fill me in on the no air conditioning rule, what? does it effect her fake British accent (Sean bitter) or does it dry out the v chords, or is it writtin in the Kabala?

The air conditioning supposedly effects her vocal cords thus not enabling her best sound - or so the newscasters have reported. So Ms. M. demands that the air be turned off at her venues. I still miss the cone bras.

Lots of big names request this. Sammy Davis was one...Aretha walked off the VH1 Divas stage for the same reason.

With as much as she's moving around...she needs all the moisture in the air possible...

brilliant.

Worthless Whore??? WORTHLESS WHORE???

I never said that...this statement bothers me. I don't believe I EVER called anyone a worthless whore...that is harsh even for Pea.

Rebecca said...

Maybe I misquoted you...but I recall some statement when I told you about tickets that "I could keep her" because I could find "trash like that in Lake Station." I thought worthless whore was worked in there somewhere...maybe it was just the whore part...or the worthless part...or each of them at separate times. But you seemed pretty bitter.

Maybe you need a moment.

I believe I said you could find better ho's in Lake Station, yes the Pea is bitter, but still I have a secret...I have way enjoyed hearing you talk about the show

I think I should now get the Sean tattoo removed, I think this has brought some closure.

Glad I could close that chapter of the Pea saga...

She really is the coolest.
