Dancing as fast as she can

Madonna cannibalizes herself in a misguided attempt to appeal to today's youth. Who is she becoming? The crazed Joan Crawford of "Torch Song"? The pathetic Bette Davis in "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane"? Charo?

    Oh, Camille...

    In theory, I love the idea of Camille Paglia reviewing CDs for Salon, but in practice -- doh! The writing was grossly mannered and the review was more about Camille than about Madonna. I'm not a Madonna fan, but I am a fan of good journalism, very little of which can be found in this piece.
