Why I Love Madonna

As expressed by her publicist.

Liz Rosenberg's Vogue Article

"You don't know whether to kiss me or to hit me. I get a lot of that". So uttered a very sexy Madonna in her Breathless Mahoney role while talking to crime fighter Dick Tracy and boyfriend at the time, Warren Beatty, resplendent in his yellow trench coat) in the film Dick Tracy.

If ever one lined summed up the media's love/hate affair with Madonna over the last 22 years, that one says it just perfectly.

"My daughter reading poetry in French." Jeez, Madonna, when did you become an elitist ostentatious snob?

1998--did you miss that transistion?

I actually liked Madonna till I read that line. Oh my God. That was awful.

Oh, Lord. Well I guess you didn't really like her much if something that trivial could change your mind.

No - it was what that line represents. I mean, seriously....ewwww.

ok ok ok I confess--that line was a little icky. But, goodness--it surely is out of context.

Is there anything wrong with Madonna taking joy in her daughter learning another language, or reading verse? You go, Mo!

I enjoyed the article by Liz Rosenberg. But there a thousand more reasons to love Madonna than simply what she listed. We could write a book.

There's nothing wrong with it per se - it's just to come up with that as the answer to that question, in an interview, is beyond pretentious.

But the article wasn't an interview with Madonna. It was Liz talking about Madonna. Big difference and context.

Someone asked her that question in an interview setting, and it was used as a quote.

Does it really matter? I love Madonna, but I know she has worse traits than "pretentious." If she wants to give her children a more affluent lifestyle, that's fine by me.
