Madonna Calls For Troop Withdrawal

FredC

I think that she did bloody good concerts, and she should go and do one in the centre of Fallujah immediately, if not sooner.

Heavens, I'm a Madonna fan and I'm neither gay nor overweight. I'm a cyclist, in fact (same as Madonna who rides her bike).
Come on, she was a legend. She made some great tracks and who can forget "Holiday!"

As a Madonna fan I'd say her best L.P. was Ray Of Light but I also like the track Justify My Love and especially the video that comes with it.

As for Madonna's anti-war stance, I think she was initially very nervous of causing offence over her original video - which she cancelled in the end. However, had she not cancelled the video, her views would have been justified, I think, (from the liberal side of things). I mean, people have had their family members wounded or even killed in Bush's war (something that simply wasn't acknowledged at the time when everyone said the war would be a push-over). It did casue a lot of suffering.

You have to bear in mind that Madge is married to a British guy and they both have an genuine anti-war view. I read Madge's interview in a magazine over the Bush Administration and she didn't project the slightest idea of being a bimbo who had no idea what she was talking about. And she has more to lose than gain by expressing an opinion that might upset a lot of people or even fans.

Incidentally, I can think of one very liberal, left-wing singer who might have gotten the liberal message across better than Madge but he's too old to be relevant now. I refer to the former Rock gospel singer Larry Norman who knows his bible much better than George Bush.

But come on! Let's here from those cyclists who dare to confess they're also fans of Madonna's music and likewise recall those good old boogie years when she was in fashion (with Startsky and Hutch). I well recall dancing to "Holiday" and the rap that followed it later on.

I forgot it.

Come on, she's made millions of people happy and never killed anyone. She obviously worked hard in putting her shows together in different formats. That's why she lives in England. To get away from the bullshit in the United? States of 'merrca. All she said was 'pack it in'.

No offence Carrera,

you must be the exception to the rule.

I respect what she has achieved, she's a great entertainer and the fact that she moved to England certainly makes her a better person.
I just don't like her music.

jhuskey

Moving makes you a better person? I never thought of it that way. Very interesting!

Celebrities know best. This is'nt up for debate. I formulate all of my decisions based upon their pronouncement's. I especially hold them in high regard if they are foreign No, seriously, I beleive it's pandering to the female American population who listen to people like Oprah.

Hold on, i feel i have been a little too harsh on old Madge.

Her views on the military strategy in Iraq are more welcome than those of Rumsfeld (and probably a lot more valid).

Old Rummy will be out on his arse in a short while because of the massive balls up in Iraq over the past two years, i say get Madge in there and shake her stuff.

Everything will be happy again in cloud cuckoo land...oh i mean The White House.

Her music is medocure so why would we care about her political views?

www.benparkdrive.com and www.youcallthat-art.com are much better musians then Madonna

I also learned about http://www.marillion.com online. Misplaced Childhood and Anoraknophobia are two good recordings by this band. I got some other recordings of theirs cheap at a pawn shop and they were so so.
