No no! Of course not! I'm a big fan of all 3. I'm not comparing Madonna to Prince or MJ.

Just saying that she deserves respect for writing great songs even if she isn't "technically" (in terms of singing, playing or dancing) great. But in terms of songwriting I'd have to say she's top notch!

It just seems like people that have great technical ability automatically get respect... whereas songwriters like Madonna automatically get dissed.

Ace said:

well, she kinda was around for the very end of it all...she was a friend of keith haring's and she dated jean michel basquiat, and this was all during the time when both of them were shit-hot. warhol was right in the middle of that whole early '80s art scene in NYC, and madonna was certainly well known in that scene at the time.

Anxiety said:

in his published daires he mentions Madonna several times. He attended her's and Sean's wedding and insipred her U Can Dance jackets on the Who's That Girl Tour

Anxiety said:

Was "The Factory" still in existence then?

Ace said:

not in the same incarnation as it was during its glory days. by the end of his life, 'the factory' (d)evolved pretty much into offices.

if i was Madonna I'd have those boots she wore yesterday. sadly i do not have them in my closet.

all that info came from Absolute Madonna.

ehuffnsd said:

i could have sworn it came from Field&Stream.com!

ehuffnsd said:

You're hiding them in Guy's closet, aren't you?

Anxiety said:

my rabbai had me cancel my subscription because i was being haunted by all the spirits of the fish we caught on my country manor.

you shouldn't compare them anyway since they are very different artists

Prince is a musician, Madonna is a performer and part time composer

MJ is a cross between the two, hanging on to past glory for dear life.

VoicesCarry said:

wait i found them... i had guy tied up in a chair wearing them last night for punishment. he loves humilation.

VoicesCarry said:

thanks a lot, i'm gonna have to masturbate now

what is the madonna version of "FAM"?

Anxiety said:

drag queens

Anxiety said:

someone who wears 1 of Carlos Leon's pubic hairs around their
neck in a phile of formaldehyde, as their prise possession.
