The Madonna Paradox
Hey, do you like Madonna?
Wait--before you answer that question, think really hard about it.
I'll ask again: do you like Madonna?
My theory is that anybody who likes pop music at all likes Madonna; we don't necessarily know that we do because her personality can be so overwhelming we forget about all her awesome music. It doesn't need to be. Madonna, I don't care about your personal life or your scandal-rousing or your politics or that you will keep doing Pilates until you look like Skeletor. Thanks for "Lucky Star" and "Crazy for You" and "The Power of Goodbye" and "Like a Prayer."
Tonight's contribution to Madonna Appreciation is thanks to blogger Mark Blankenship, who this week devoted his blog The Critical Condition to ranking every top-100 single by Madonna.
Even if you don't read the whole thing, read the top ten. His story about "Ray of Light" is both touching and hilarious.
