Sweat It OUT!

This track was playing during my water aerobics class and I have to say I am a fan. Sweating it out to Madonna is key. I'm not usually a huge supporter of Madge but this song is magic. And Pharrell Williams= something so sexy I can't even comprehend.

Connections

Day 6:

Everyone's connected. You know, the six degrees of separation?

I'm six steps away from Warhol apparently. However, Madonna is only one away from Warhol.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview Madge explain the connection:

"At that time I was hanging around with a lot of graffiti artists, Futura 2000, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Jean-Michel introduced me to Andy Warhol. I remember we were all at a Japanese restaurant on Second Avenue and Seventh Street, where Keith had done a bunch of drawings on the wall, and Jean- Michel was telling me how jealous he was of me being on the radio. Because he thought that I had a more accessible form of art, and more people would be exposed to it. Andy told him to stop complaining."

"Keith and Andy did four pieces fro me as a wedding present when I married Sean (Penn). They're pictures of me from the cover of The New York Post when all the nude photographs of me came out in Playboy and Penthouse. The headline says 'I'm not ashamed'. So they took all the Post covers and painted over them. They're in my house in L.A. - a sign-post, a watershed moment..."

Madonna on Gaga

Madonna has this to say about Gaga in a recent Rolling Stone interview (RS 1090). I think it solidifies Gaga's career as a pop star:

Madonna: "I think Lady Gaga is great. When we saw her, I actually felt a kind of recognition. I thought, 'she's got something.' There's something quirky about her... But I can see myself in Lady Gaga. In the early part of my career, for sure. When I saw her, she didn't have a lot of money for her production, she's got holes in her fishnets, and there's mistakes everywhere. It was kind of a mess, but I can see that she's got that It factor. It's nice to see that at a raw stage."
