  • Expiration date long past

    Madonna was done somewhere around the time of 'Like a Prayer'. But even then did she really matter? Did she ever? What exactly did she do that had not been done before? Cher, Debbie Harry, Marilyn Monroe, Tina Turner, and yeah...even Ann-Margaret. They all did 'Madonna' before Madonna. Ya sing, ya dance, ya shake yer ass. Madonna threw in some crucifixes. So what. Why was that so earth shattering to so many people back in the 80s? Was she hot? Yeah. But phenomenal? No. It was right place...right time. Nothing more or less. Unfortunately for us Madonna's legacy is, and will be, spawning talentless air-heads like Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and uh-oh....looks like Mylie Cyrus comin round the bend.
