So that kind of brings us to the present time of, and let's uh let's dig in a little bit to um to her album that we're talking about and by the way i mentioned the desperately seeking susan crazy for you was on the vision quest soundtrack that's right she's also in that movie and i think the um You know, it's kind of like they really didn't want that to be a single because they didn't want it to kind of coincide with her other stuff, but yet it was very popular, so it became a big part of that.

Some of her other movies, by the way.

And I love that.

The celebration tour.

Thank you very much.

We don't mind you ruining our surprises, Maho, you carry on.

Episode 21, I Come Full Circle, the Listener's Episode.

Yeah, so this is a special, I guess, penultimate episode of the season, right? We, Mark did a whole reach out to our community, and, um, we got a ton of responses to people to talk about their experiences of going to see the Celebration Tour, and, um, they're really, really beautiful, really captured the essence of the show for me.

I thought it was just, I'm really excited to share these today.

Yeah, and, uh, we wanna thank everybody that, uh, reached out and, uh, fulfilled the assignment, and not only did you fulfill the assignment, you went above and beyond and got tons of bonus extra credit.

Been listening to her since the first album, really.

Uh, yeah, it's been [laughs] a long, long journey with Madonna, and my seeing her live, I didn't start until Reinvention Tour, but, you know, like, after that, I wouldn't miss a show at all.

When they announced the, uh, Celebration Tour was gonna be an arena tour, I was completely shocked.

I really honestly thought after Madame X we wouldn't see another one, and I thought this mostly because when I went to see Madame X, I was sat at an angle that I could see her when she went kind of round the backdrop.
