Thank goodness for the Ray D’Arcy show on Today FM and Beat to keep me awake on the school run. Today it was Dis Madonna Day, lots of texts came in about her. Mostly related to Madonna aging un-gracefully, though a couple defended her chameleon-like career. (After a while, though, pointed out Ray, it all becomes so new-all-the-time that it’s a bit bland).
My favorite: “Stop dissing Madonna. Leave the poor chap alone.”
Here’s a question: if Madonna is so unpopular, how come she sells so many albums? Even at the fit old age of 50 she’s still gyrating… I mean generating… more revenue than I ever will in a year.
Anyhow, I wouldn’t mind having Madonna’s butt, but only if I didn’t have to do the work. I’m now working up to the Flora Mini-Marathon in Dublin on 2nd June and despite my (admittedly meagre, so far) efforts to run – in addition to doing yoga, a bit of gardening and other minor physical activities – there’s not a lot of change happening to the ol’ glutes. It’s a BIG muscle group and not an easy one to keep UP. So I suppose, since Madonna’s been keeping her butt up for about 30 years (since she gave up chips and beer), you could say she’s a symbol of “global sustainability.” In the most unintended way. That’s nearly funny…
