Decoding the (Dream) Language of Madonna’s “Bedtime Story”
“And all that you've ever learned . . . Try to forget . . . I'll never explain again”
Madonna is known to run the gamut in the type of songs she produces and performs. Some of her most psychologically honest and personal work began to appear with Like A Prayer and continued for about a decade through Ray of Light. I do not mean to say that before or after this period [...]
Who’s That Girl?: Madonna and the Philosophy of the Self
The most important legacy that Madonna has given to her fans and to the world at large is that of the power of the theatrical, or the art of performance. At 34, I have been a fan of the Queen of Pop since the age of 12 and can distinctly remember imitating her every move [...]
