I once spent $50 on a one year membership to Madonna's fan club. "Icons", as paying fans are referred, are given the chance to win advanced tickets to Madonna's concerts and to also win one of a kind prizes and give aways.
I didn't win anything, and I never went to her concert that year. But I don't get down about, I'm not bitter.
Anyways, I'm totally obsessed with her. She's kind of old, too serious, not that great of a singer, or actress. But her ambition is hard to match. Most of us are exposed to Madonna's pop sensibilities and perceive her as, well, total crap. But during my lifetime as a superfan, I've been pleasantly surprised over and over gain by Madonna's sophisticated taste in art, music and culture. If you scratch just below the surface of the glossy magazine covers and shallow sound bites you'll find a real artist who's made the most of her life and career. She works with the world's most cutting edge producers, directors and fashion designers. Check the liner notes see what it's all about. Click here for info on her directorial debut, the latest news, all of her music videos and my favorite feature, the photographic timeline.
I wish I didn't understand her, but I do. I want to just say no, but every time she comes our with a new album, I buy it. Then I find the collector's edition and I buy that too. And then I find the concert DVD, and I buy that too. I'm a whore.
