MLVC x Today In Madonna History

We'll, we'll, we'll come back to to- Today in Madonna History real quick.

Let's, let's go back a little bit more in time.

Let's talk about your Madonna, how Madonna came to you.

What, how, when did you become a Madonna fan?

Yeah, um, so I, I, honestly, Madonna has been around as far back as I can remember, um, uh, in my, in my house, and I think probably my mum really enjoyed Madonna, so I, it was always kind of there.

But if I think about my specific journey, my earliest memories of Madonna...

I've just lost my light.

One moment, everybody.

[laughs]

Um, my earliest moments, uh, of Madonna are really playing the True Blue cassette to death, like, literally over and over to the point where my parents were like, "Do you wanna listen to something else?"

[laughs]

I remember listening to that cassette day and night.

I, I have, I have such a strong memory of the little noise that it would make at the end of side A to turn, to turn over.

Oh, it was so good.

I would just be kind of singing my heart out and dancing in my room.

Um, and I think probably it was the songs like, you know, W- Where's The Party and Love Makes The World Go Round that really got my attention.

But then I remember something really shift- shifted around, um, Live To Tell, and I was like-

Hmm

... okay, there's something going on here that I really need to start exploring, and I just spent, uh, like, every moment I could listening to that album and just became obsessed.

And then, yeah, I think, um, as we went into the Like a Prayer era, I was...

So probably, by the way, when that album came out, True Blue, I was f- maybe five or six.

Like, I was very young.

Uh-huh.

Um, so, um, um, so I can understand why I was attracted to the kind of poppier songs.

But then by the time, uh, Like a Prayer came around, I, I felt, I, it was, I honestly believe that album turned me into a different person.
