I remember sitting in study hall (Yeah, I was cool. Imagine a Breakfast Club vibe) back in the early 80's* when I first heard Holiday on a really big boom box. Not being a Top 40 kind of gal (shout out to Black Flag, The Cramps and Dead kennedy's) I assumed you were the rage. A fly by night "pop" star.

Then sadly I lost interest after the whole "Like a Virgin" shenanigans and all your other bids for attention from the world you wanted to rule. Don't get me wrong, my friend Matilda** made me go watch her in a Madonna look alike contest (one word got me there, Gin) at Club 2000.

**name changed to protect the innocent. Ok the guilty party with regrets.
Glad you're back. And Madonna needs to embrace her age and grow old gracefully. Just sayin'....
