More on Madonna
Why does everyone pick on poor, misunderstood Madonna? Is it because they think she represents the triumph of makeup and amplification over beauty and talent, or is it that they can’t recognize a bimbo-philosopher ahead of her time?
Take heart, Madonna. You’re thinner than Roseanne Barr, your voice is superior to that of Andy Devine, and you’re every bit as pretty as Marjorie Main.
Remember, O Misunderstood Icon, no less a talent than Vera Hruba Ralston was forced to endure similar slings and arrows of outrageous critics even at the pinnacle of her brilliant career.
