Still love it and wish Bette would do another comedy recording.
Why bother?
What's a career, when you put it next to knockwurst and beer?

Madonna.....Like a Virgin. Touched for the very first time. For the very first time today! The only thing she'll ever do like a virgin is have a baby in a stable...by an unknown father!

"Ain't ya got a VASE" cracks me up to this very day!
Fat as I am.
Who wants to see a diva fat as I am?
I get mistaken now for Lainie Kazan.
How is it that I'm fat as I am?
Fat as I am.
The camera's gonna add a ton to my can.
This is the way they say Godzilla began.
How did I get as fat as I am?
"Try it again."
All of my friends say I should diet again;
That all my fans are gonna riot again.
"Look what happened to Liz."
All of my sins
are not as numerous as . . . all of my chins!
I could audition for the doublemint twins.
No one in the biz is as fat as I is.
Ah, but what's a career
when you put it next to knockwurst and beer?
They could park a DC10 on my rear.
God knows I got the gas!
There goes the chair.
But to tell the truth, I'm too fat to care!
I ate a meatball off the floor right over there.
Ah, you don't give a damn
when you're fat as I am!

In case you missed it, the composer of "Fat As I Am" took a bow!
And what a well deserved bow it was!!! What a brilliant number. "I ate a meatball off the floor right over there" -- what a GREAT line!
A dancer friend of mine -- who weighed all of 90 pounds --used it as her audition song for a production of "Oklahoma!" Needless to say, she got the part.
Bette is a goddess and we should all worship her. Love this album. Nothing beats Live at Last! but this comes damn close.
Bravo Marc!

I remember when we first got cable TV in the mid 1980's, the DIVINE MADNESS concert film was on HBO all the time. Absolutely brilliant!
'I was up for that part! I read that line. I'm the French Lieutenant's whore. What's it to you?'
Bump
And here I thought wexy was the Celeb of the Day!
Yeah, but the stuff she does today, and even in her recent tours, cannot compare to her stuff from the 70's. I really wish some video of her early concers would be found and remastered.
That would be brillant.
Divine Madness is great - but it is post "Rose" so she starts to pull things back a tiny bit (at least in my opinion).
I would love to see a video of some of her early bath house performances!
