Another person commented under the same post: “Madonna, 64, has taken very little notice of the fans who have been begging her to stop making 'weird reels: Yes I am a true fan since 1983. What about the dedicated for years, what about us who really and truly do not want to see this from our beloved hero.”
So is she seeing sense and hanging up her riding crop and fishnets? Perhaps buying a horse farm in Montana or a vineyard in the south of France? Er no. She’s going on a world tour, to inflict more of her grotesqueries on us.
In the decades between my innocent child adulation of Madonna and her current act as a ancient succubus, she managed to piss off conservatives over and over with her use of Catholic imagery and her racy creative output. So it’s not a surprise at all that she’s turned out the way she has. I’m sure many, many people predicted it. But I, in my youthful lack of wisdom, would have scoffed at criticism of her back in the day. I was of the firm opinion that just because she transgressed for show and for fame and for “art”, it didn’t mean she was a grotesque demon who feasted on the young. I thought she because she seemed smart and savvy and fierce, she could be transgressive and still be wise, still be dignified.
Clearly, as it pertains to Madonna, I was wrong. But I’m starting to suspect that is not true for anyone. It seems very obvious — thanks to celebrities ageing badly — that in order to keep our psyches intact, we must adhere to the turning of the seasons in our lives and put away the childish things and the youthful obsessions. Our cultural elites seem desperate to convince us not to. Culture tries to fill our heads with garbage notions, like the only beauty in ageing comes from deforming plastic surgery and old ladies licking teenagers.
