Sticky and Sweet
Last night Francis and I went to the Garden to see the material girl in action. The seats (in sec. 419) that we had were not the greatest but at least we were there. There was no opening act and Madonna went on stage at 9:15pm and performed 2 hours straight. I’m not fanatical about Madonna but wanted to see her perform before she retires. She was in great shape and demonstrated it on stage with her non-stop performance. I hope I’m in good shape when I turn 50. Most of the songs she sang were from her new album Hard Candy. I didn’t care much for the current album except “4 am” was catchy. She put a rock twist to her older songs “Borderline” and “Ray of Light” while strumming a guitar. As for “La Isla Bonita” she used a gypsy band and dancer for an Eastern European feel to it. Madonna interweaves songs from her past and current hits to show the audience her decades of accomplishments. During the song “She’s not me”, she takes us back in time with 4 models who represent her in “Open Your Heart,” “Like A Virgin, “ “Material Girl” and “Vogue” . Overall, it was a fun concert despite the dull section I was in. People in my section actually sat during the show. I didn’t have the heart to get up and get into the grove. No one wants their view to be blocked by an Asian girl.
