This guy does great videos on important moments/artists/songs in rock history. He highlighted 'Like To Tell' a few weeks back, and interviewed Madonna's frequent collaborator in the 80's/90's, Patrick Leonard. Lots of nice history and detail behind the song (and some on the fan-favorite 'Oh Father').

30 years ago today ‘Justify My Love’ hit #1 on the Hot 100, becoming Madonna’s 9th chart topper. Yes, there was the controversy over MTV banning the video, but the power of Madonna at this time cannot be underestimated.

 

She took a very unfriendly to radio song where she’s talking for most of it and made it #1 hit.

Unless there is a preemption, next week's Vintage SNL (Saturday, 10 PM Eastern) will be Harvey Keitel/Madonna from early 1993. They usually only show one musical performance but it may end up being higher quality than most of the footage around. 

 

Madonna is also in the cold open for that episode, which was controversial at the time (Hillary Clinton supposedly wrote a letter to NBC because the sketch involved someone playing her daughter, Chelsea).

Last night in Colombia. Yikes.

I really thought Madge was smarter than to end up where she has in the last decade or so. I personally don't think any album after her amazing comeback with Ray of Light measured up to it. IMO they became more and more transparent ploys to meet the moment in front of her vs. making one, and got worse and worse (with the exception of Confessions, which was a rather blatant ploy for the gays to save her sales) until they were completely forgettable. Then came her drugged-out, plastic-faced Tiktok era we're in now.

I'd forgotten all about this, from only 10 years ago. I don't think she's made a single good album since the 2000s (Confessions is far from perfect, and Music is a handful of good songs and a lot of obnoxious acoustic/country [!@#$%^&*]; the others beyond Ray of Light are totally forgettable) but she could at least still perform well and put on a show here, especially on Vogue. In some of the choreography for this you wince and can see some of the physical problems that have contributing to wrecking her since.

Grace Slick was right: there comes a point when older artists just shouldn't try to compete anymore with the next generation.  (Of course, Grace said it less delicately, lol.)

    • I admit...I too thought of Penny and Good Times at that ending with SilkPress.
    • Yes, just so.  Thanks for the info. I could tell this was going to be a big thing with ShawnD in this danger! Especially love that the little guy is Andrew!
    • I think the shocker would be if he's NOT playing Dumas. That's where Josh Griffith plays most of his stories. Now they have Cole "self-isolating" because they don't want to put up that hospital set. Will Cole cough himself to death at the GCAC? What a "storyline." I can't believe how much JG is playing with us regarding Nick and Sharon. The teasing has become pathetic, especially for Shick fans who want them back together. My guess is that he'll reveal his real name once he is exposed.
    • Maybe we'll meet Leslie's mama who'll be a former Articulette and they'll build the rival family from there that a lot of people seem to think is missing. It'd make sense considering Anita's been hammering on about going on tour and reviving her music career. 
    • hahaha at the Brennan shade.   But even I saw this and have to agree. What's really sad is that some of the person on that list could easily have a love interest that is on the canvas. They just need to be written for. 
    • The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.
    • True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued. 
    • That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
