It’s Madonna’s 50th birthday today. I love her-always have, always will. I had her posters all over my wall as a teen, and can still remember the first time we saw the ‘Like a Virgin’ video on TOTP..my Dad was aghast and muttered something very unmentionable under his breath! No one had ever been so unutterably brazen before, and I was transfixed. I drew her image all over my schoolbooks and wanted to be her so desperately…she’s a legend in her own lifetime and the majority of female pop stars who have entered the entertainment business since Madonna owe her a huge debt… For me, ‘Ray of Light’ and then ‘Confessions..’ are her best albums, but she’s done so much fabulous work that it’s very difficult to choose. I’ve just watched a re-run of the ‘Confessions of a Dancefloor’ tour, how I wish I’d been to that gig, it was amazing.
Anyway, Happy 50th Birthday Madonna-I raise a glass to you, your Madgesty,  thanks for being so bloody marvellous:)
