I might ask you like, I don't know we could be somebody totally different. It must be exhausting for somebody so calculating and self-mythologizing to just accept that she now not sits on the nucleus of tradition. The digital age makes it tougher than ever to be a trendsetter with true staying power, but Madonna maintained her throne longer than anyone else from any era, and damn if she won’t attempt to claw her approach back. Or can Madonna be a morality tale in how pop dignitaries age? Pop has all the time, for higher or worse, been a younger person’s sport - specifically 8- to 25-12 months-olds, as composer Leonard Bernstein posited during the 1960s’ Beatlemania. Because the 2010s depart behind a radically changed pop landscape, Madonna’s standing reveals rather a lot in regards to the half-life of a contemporary music career. But when she’s made things somewhat easier for the upstart ladies who've come behind her, her position as a wrinkle-free Aunt Sally is sure to do the identical for, say, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez, who're nearing 50 and don’t take half the beating that Madonna does. |
