I just read Phillipa’s blog about the Grammys. She was being her usual vile self of course, but my main beef is with her thinking it’s okay to be so dismissive of Madonna. Okay, we all saw the MadgeDown moment at the Brits, but don’t for a minute think that excuses age-shaming. I mean, wtf?

Look, I’m not a big Madonna fan. I loved the Ray of Light era, but apart from that I’m more of a Kylie Minogue minion.  But you can’t deny that, for decades now, Madonna has shaped music and been an icon. Even if you don’t like it, her Hung Up video is iconic (and that yummy banking-dancer Cloud is everything I want in a man, yes please). She’s reinvented herself time and time again, so to dismiss her because she’s too old is sexist, ageist and it misses the point: she’s only as old as her latest incarnation.

I also think it’s disgusting that radio stations might be choosing not to play her based on her not connecting with their teenage audiences–hello, they can’t connect if you don’t let them hear the damn music and choose not to promote it!

And another thing, Phillipa, say what you want about Madonna but I think Living For Love and the look that goes with it are exciting–I mean, who doesn’t want to be rammed by a bull?

I’m pro weird, pro bull horns-wearing dancers, and pro matador Madonna–let’s just follow another fabulous woman’s advice though:
