Madonna – nor any of us really – could have imagined that her constant presence in media for thirty years would simmer down to an endless variety of short thirty second clips of her saying whacky shit on my phone around-the-clock. What other celebrity has so much A roll footage? I can think of none. I mean, it was once said that Princess Di was the most photographed person in the world. But she was more passing through and being snapped by the paparazzi. She wasn’t constantly being interviewed – a talking head – like Madonna. I often find myself thinking about where I was when and what I was doing when Madonna had those eyebrows, that hair color, lip line, and was chatting about Kabbalah or being interviewed at a vanity fair shoot. I’m not complaining. I enjoy the nostalgia.
In unrelated news, we need to talk about the constant barrage of text message reminders from doctors’ offices. What Ai decided that we need daily reminders about appointments a week away? I want to talk to the manager! With my gang of medical handlers and frequent appointments, it just becomes noise. Do I need to get a burner phone for medical only?
