........and at the end of the day - they accomplished nothing more than squiggling about the stage, making noise for hangers on that paid handsomely for the right.
I'd bet that classics are still classics in 100 years, whereas that satanic slut will be remembered for flopping on the floor of some long forgotten music awards show pretending to get laid, having sold her soul for fleeting fame and riches.
.........shes added nothing positive to the culture
For all her faults, Madonna was a part of that. Her early songs were excellent. Sure her act was a little "trashy". It sold. Don't we believe in capitalism?
In reality, it was Ronald Reagan who sealed the "decline in morality" of the 1980s by refusing to let the government (specifically the FCC) resume the role of Nanny. Doing this helped seal his support among young voters, which helped him maintain the mandate that allowed him to transform this nation.

Yep, you're right! The 80's had great music AND Reagan in the White House -- ah, the good old days!
She is one of the most astute businesswomen in history. Michael Jackson hasn't had a hit record in nearly 20 years, George Michael had a massive hit and then vanished. Madonna is able to constantly reinvent her self and put out hit after hit after hit. I seriously think she will have a platinum album when she hits 60. I don't like her particularly, but I admire her business acumen. Mick Jagger is no slouch, but having attended the London School of Economics, he should know that her talents other than singing are considerable.
