MADONNA ON STERN

IN THE 80'S WHEN VHI CAME OUT AND

MUSIC VIDEOS WERE NEW, I HAD AN

ISSUE WITH MADONNA.

AT THAT TIME, I WAS YOUNG, NAIVE,

AND VERY CLOSE TO MY GOD

AND HAD NO PROBLEM PASSING JUDGEMENT

ON MADONNA FOR ONE OF HER VIDEOS WITH

HER WEARING A CONE BRA AND A ROSARY AROUND

HER NECK. FOR ME, AT THE TIME,

A ROSARY AROUND HER NECK WAS SACRILEGIOUS.

SO ALTHOUGH, I LOVED HER MUSIC, 

WAS NOT A FAN OF MADONNA AND SPOKE OPENLY

ABOUT IT.

THEN I BECAME 51, AND CAN NOW LISTEN TO

HOWARD STERN IN MY CAR WHEN I AM BY MYSELF

WITHOUT BEING JUDGED...LOL

YESTERDAY I LISTEN TO AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MADONNA

HERSELF AND EITHER SHE HAS CHANGED A LOT,

I HAVE CHANGED A LOT, OR WE BOTH HAVE MATURED

AND GROWN OLDER.

AS FOR HOWARD STERN.... WELL I WON'T PASS JUDGEMENT...

I LOVE ME SOME HOWARD.

AS HE INTERVIEWS HER, HE SPEAKS OF A FEW MONTHS

AGO WHILE DURING A CONCERT, SHE FELL 

BECAUSE OF A MISHAP WITH A CAPE THAT INSTEAD

OF COMING OFF WHEN PULLED BY HER DANCER, 

IT KNOTTED AND IT TOOK HER DOWN MANY STEPS

AND SHE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION.

SHE SPEAKS OF HOW UPSET SHE WAS WITH HERSELF

AND NO ONE ELSE, SHE SPOKE OF EVEN THOUGH

IT WAS RECOMMENDED SHE TAKE A FEW DAYS OFF,

SHE REFUSED NOT TO PLAY FOR HER FANS.

GOOD WORK ETHICS THERE.

BUT WHAT REALLY GOT ME LOVING OUR DEAR

MADONNA AGAIN WAS WHEN HOWARD BEGAN

TO ASK HER ABOUT HER BELIEFS ON LIFE AFTER

THIS ONE. BACK IN THE 80'S SHE WAS ATHEIST.

SHE IS NOW SO FULL OF BELIEFS ON GOD.

HOWARD ASKS ABOUT THOSE BELIEFS.

SHE BELIEVES THIS AND GOT ME THINKING,

The body, the one we live in here on Earth is mortal,

it's not going to last very long on Earth but our souls

are eternal which means it lives forever.

She believes in reincarnation.

If we choose, we can come back to Earth with our

souls in another body. Eventually  our lives become the

best we can be, we can choose to stay with our God.

I believe in reincarnation.

WELL, THIS HAS ME LOVING MADONNA A BIT MORE.

BUT ALSO A TAD AFRAID. 

LIKE WHAT IF REINCARNATION IS THE WAY IT WORKS?

IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE IN MY MIND

BUT TO YOU HAVE A CHOICE WHERE YA GO?

WHAT IF AFTER HAVING ONE OF THE BEST LIVES

I HAVE LIVED, SO HAPPY WITH THE LIFE I LIVE,

I AM BORN POOR AND HUNGRY CHILD IN ETHIOPIA...

WHAT IF I COME BACK AS AN ABUSED CHILD?

I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO WORRY ABOUT ALL OF THAT

AND TO LIVE THE BEST LIFE I CAN

BUT I CAN SAY THIS,

ALONG WITH LOVING ME SOME STERN,

I LOVE ME SOME MADONNA ALSO!
