Madonna is coming to the city and I wanted to buy tickets for her concert. A ticket is $300+.
OK, maybe I am not such a big fan.
After all my fondness for Madonna is not so much artistic as professional. At the end of '80 I was teaching French in a small international school in Kabul. Most of the students were children of diplomats, nice but rather spoiled and showing little interest in learning French. But everything changed when I came back from holliday sporting a studded belt. "Oh you wear a Madonna belt, how beautiful!" And so my prestige and authority improved considerably, thanks to this music and fashion icon.
I remembered this story after viewing Sacramento's post here.
