I re-watched Madonna: Truth or Dare this week. It came out at what I feel was most likely the zenith of her career, with her Immaculate Collection and her book Sex all in popular media at once.
It was fun to see. I had forgotten there might have been any controversy around any of her performances since she has been eclipsed on a few fronts.
I was a huge fan of hers for a long time and my collection of music reflects that.
But it was a time and a place and others have filled that same place in my heart since those days.
I rewatched Rattle and Hum a few weeks ago and think about the lyrics, still. It was interesting to see even then how America and her culture were both influential, yet not living to her ideals.
I’m looking for a copy of the Depeche Mode 101 DVD.
