I have to say, here's one instance where I'm truly impressed with Madonna.   Not many forty six year old women can do that.   And I knew I wouldn't be able to do it if I was awarded all of her money for doing so.   As I remember, I was also impressed by her mastery of the art of self promotion.   No one ever did it better.   If she hadn't, she always would've been regarded as the true mediocrity that she is.
