Who would have thought it would last? There certainly are better singers who you don't remember now. It takes more than a good voice, you got to have the whole package and that she does. She does Michigan proud.pjazzyparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270767809180700095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045071721348918138.post-37713002840437805342008-03-12T00:05:00.000-05:002008-03-12T00:05:00.000-05:00I will never forget seeing the first Madonna video...I will never forget seeing the first Madonna video I saw. It was at a sleepover, we were watching "Night Tracks" (anybody else remember that?), and we all just stopped and stared.

Since I don't know Madonna personally and I don't have inside information, I have to go with my gut feeling and what I have seen her do on the stage. While I could be wrong, she just doesn't strike me as insecure.pjazzyparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270767809180700095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045071721348918138.post-88067528567513974392008-03-10T23:24:00.000-05:002008-03-10T23:24:00.000-05:00I'd be curious to know what those stations are, fo...I'd be curious to know what those stations are, for if they existed in Michigan, they certainly were an anomaly to what was going on nationwide.<BR/><BR/>As for Madonna's insecurity, let's say I have some inside information. It's like Mark Twain said. Better to close your mouth and be thought a poor singer than open it and remove all doubt.X.

First of all there definitely were Rock stations in the sixties, at least there were in Michigan where I grew up and they did not play the music, which was considered soul music at the time. Madonna may be many things, but insecure has never been one of them. I am more inclined to agree with Malcolm that she may think she is just a little above performing at the ceremony. But who really knows?pjazzyparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270767809180700095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045071721348918138.post-43322153956725046932008-03-09T18:22:00.000-05:002008-03-09T18:22:00.000-05:00My definition of rock and roll is broad, and would...My definition of rock and roll is broad, and would actually have included Madonna. Aretha Franklin and James Brown weren't played on rock stations because, in the sixties, there was no such thing. That had more to do with marketing, and the desire to separate black markets from white ones. At the same time, however, both artists were called rock artists by music writers and trade magazines well into the late-1970s, when disco really separated black music from white in the corporate scheme of things.<BR/><BR/>As for perfroming or not, it doesn't really matter to me that much one way or the other, but I would suspect that it would have more to do with her insecurities as a performer.X.

I didn't think of the "too big to perform" aspect, but you are probably right now that I think about it. She needs "to get her ass of her shoulders" and get on stage and perform.

Sure, Madonna's music isn't a staple of rock and roll radio. With that being said, how often does Gram Parsons (a pioneer in the country-rock field) get played on rock and roll radio?<BR/><BR/>I am disappointed that Madonna won't be performing tomorrow night. It comes off to me as being too big to perform at the ceremony. I feel the same way about Michael Jackson's decision not to perform the year he was inducted. He said that it was due to a foot injury (he was walking with a cane). My thoughts are "get a stool and sing at least one song, because your foot doesn't have anything to do with your voice".Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.com
