I would never use the word "commandeering" to describe what I was doing, but yes, I was. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the world was going to see Madonna hanging off a cross, and I do think it's appropriately covered in mirrors, but I have to take issue here. She climbed up there on her own accord, to sing a twenty year old ballad ("Live To Tell") but martyr is not an archetype that Madonna represents. She should get off the cross, because, like I said, my painted on wounds are beginning to run and I need the mirror.
wouldn't it be ever so lovely if roman soldiers entered stage left and proceeded to drive rusty spikes and a cold spear into madonna? would make for a pleasant concert experience on my part.
For the price of a ticket, this is as racy as it gets: a 47 year old pop star invoking the death of a 33 year old carpenter 2000 years ago. Is there nothing new? Oh, yeah. She does a John Travolta-Saturday Night Fever tribute in the third act. Kudos, Madge. Show the kids today how to "borrow" from the past. Next tour will include her new fetish: motorcycles!

She should look into it before she hands it over.
And were you commandeering 'get down off the cross, someone else needs the wood' there? Very funny.
Dale,

Thank you.
I appreciate your clarification on all shards here Saviour.
Commandeering was perhaps thrown into use a bit hastily and without appropriate forethought. A thousand pardons. Well, a hundred anyway.
Hey Madonna, I can see your house from here.

Alas, no roman soldiers...

Didn't Tori Amos already cover this territory, if not this song?
