lol one of the few Madonna interviews I'm not into. She definitely spoke out of turn. Also, it bothers me how society ignores the plight of the black woman. To many, injustice happens to black men only. Black women get shit (from black men too) on 2 different fronts: being female and being black. A lot of the time we are all we got. With Madonna now being the mother to 3 little black girls, I would hope her awareness is more well rounded.

I think the setlist was near perfect. She hadn't toured in 8 years and she wanted to mainly focus on the material released in that 8 year gap, which is understandable. All the classic hits had been performed several times on tour up to that point. I think part of her disdain at the time for the oldies was because the press/some people had started calling her "old" and was getting ready to put her into the legacy act box. A legacy act isn't a bad thing per se but when an artist is still selling new music and still has something vibrant and relevant to offer, it can be insulting. She wasn't going to play to 80s nostalgia just because she was 40+. Only thing I would change about the set-list is adding a couple of more songs from Bedtime Stories (title track would've fit in perfectly) since it didn't even get a tour and maybe a song from Erotica.

Damn, they took it back to "Hey Goldmember"? who'd think they were fooling?

I've always loved this cover. I like how she didn't try to match the original but turned it into a dark and broody sultry number. This was a perfect preview of the Self-Titled album

Top 5 songs right now: Wasabi, Love a Girl Right, Strip, Notice and Told You So.

This is like a ballad version of Hair. Love it! And Ms. Jade's vocals are particularly sublime here.
