Forum from 1985 talking about Madonna! Interesting
This is a link to a forum from the year 1985 discussing Madonna. It's very interesting seeing the internet utilized in this way in it's early stages. It took 2 days to post one message. Very cool.
I didn't even know it was possible to do things like this until the mid 90's
How about Elton John, who is quite gay? I have friends who won't
listen to his music because of his sexual preference.
It's crazy how things were like this back then I mean I'm sure things still are in areas, but how people were so open with their homophobic beliefs like
It kinda reminds me of what ATRL are like towards Gaga too. The constant dragging as soon as something bad happens but she will always bounce back and remain the current queen of pop music!
Good point, Ken. My impression is that Madonna is *not at all* in
charge of her career or her marketing scheme. Her popularity is
the work of the (male-dominated) entertainment industry, that will
dress someone up in a gorilla suit if it will sell records, posters,
lunchboxes, etc... Madonna is a product of sexist imaginations.
Do not give her any credit for her image. It wasn't her idea.
Flame away, pseudo-feminists!

Haha, he was so misinformed! She was completely in control of everything. It's not always about taking direct leadership. Sometimes it's better to twist people's arms without vocally expressing your need for control. She played the suits strategically!
