The thing was pisses me of about that cover, and I've said this before. Is that there's no meaning in it. I doubt she even realises what it's about.

She probably thinks it's a song about an apple pie or something!!!

I really don't like Madonna and I doubt that I ever will. She's pretty old too so hopefully she wont be singing for much longer.

She probably won't make anything original for the next 20 years, but she'll still be around.

Greatest hits: 25th June 2002 - 27th June 2002, 27th ... etc. etc.

I don't agree with the amount of agism here - its a tired cliche to say that someone shouldn't do something because of their age.

I don't care how old she is. I just don't think she should be singinig because she's lame.

i don't see it so much as agism... i don't think someone should stop singing because they're getting older... but at the same time it seems kind of lame to see someone in their 50s STILL trying to be a pop star and getting herself compared to all the 20 year old plastic pop stars *cough*cher*cough*...

personally i think it would get unbelievably boring to perform the same style of music for that long... especially with a genre as fickle as pop... but that's not to say one can't use the fame they recieved in their youth as a pop star as a way to develop into something more later in life... but then again the individual needs real talent to do something like that...

Look at the rolling stones for a perfect example of that.

They were soooo bad on tour over here about a month ago it was a joke. Mick Jagger was basically just walking up and down the stage talking out of tune into a microphone.

I don't think Madonna looks ridiculous doing what shes doing. Maybe other people consider performers of a certain age pathetic for acting a certain way, but so what? You don't just change your entire personality because you turn a certain age. Why should you, anyway? Because it makes other people uncomfortable? Just because a the majority have been brainwashed into thinking that you can't do a lot of things because of the amount of years you have been alive? When I turn 40, I don't see why I should go out to pasture. I mean like John Lydon, he gets critised for still having strong opinions etc. but I mean seriously, do you expect him to just turn into a mild-mannered-golf-playing-old-man overnight?!

It's not something like a light switch that suddenly turns on, it gradually builds up and people like Madonna and Mick Jagger deny it and try to cheat their age. Sooner or later they will realise they aren't what they used to be and will give it up or grow up and stop trying to act like they are 20.

I don't have a problem with people being older but when they try to act like they are still young, they just end up looking like dicks.

But if they are doing what they want to do and their happy with it then why not? I think if they do that, then they ARE being true to themselves. What do you all mean by trying to act younger? By being flamboyant? By being creative? By knowing how to still have fun? Or simply because they are continuing doing what they have always loved? It is no crime for anyone to do these things. Sure, it would be pathetic to do this if they were trying to be something that they are not, but it seems as if that is how they have always been. It is part of who they are.
