The Sheer & Utter Boredom of Madonna #100DaysOfSummer

I’m tough. I’m ambitious. I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

“She’s a go getter, that’s for sure. She’s everywhere. All at once. I’m kinda over her. Mad respect.”
That’s a text I received from my friend Rob when I told him I was catching the tail end of the Madonna interview on TikTok hosted by iHeart radio.
I totally forgot about it.
When I jumped on, there were about 2.1 million people watching. Maybe some were bots and NPC’s? Who knows. But, one thing is for sure, Madonna seemed rather annoyed and perhaps even a bit bored with the questions the host, who goes by the name “Bob the Drag Queen” was asking her.
I must admit, having interviewed people for almost 30 years, the host’s questions seemed incredibly flawed. Who ever scripted them was probably from the Gen Z era, knowing nothing of the true Madonna and her evolution.
I would have loved to see a REAL WOMAN interview the iconic Madonna. Why does it always have to be a Drag Queen? If a REAL WOMAN were interviewing Madonna, I don’t think she would be all that annoyed.
Madonna the icon
I can still remember my first Madonna concert. I believe it was the “Blonde Ambition” tour in 1990 where she promoted “Like A Prayer” and her Dick Tracey Movie where she rocked the stage in her Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra costume.
I was around 17 years old and had just broken up with my boyfriend Dennis. We were supposed to go to the concert together. He was a mad Madonna fan. Newsflash, he’s gay.
I wore a black bustier with jeans. The concert was in LA and I believe I attended with my concert bestie Angela. All I remember is being in a crowd of people and the lights were red.
“It’s Not Just A Confession “
Madonna seemed to reprimand “Bob the Drag Queen “ like he was some type of emotionally immature school boy when he asked her about her 15th album “Confessions II.” This is where I saw the annoyance was hitting Madonna full force.

Bob the Drag Queen asked Madonna to describe her new album, “Confessions II.”
“Healing. Cathartic. One week before I wrote a song my brother died. My stepmother died shortly after. These were people who helped shape my life.”
Madonna looked over to her daughter Lourdes, “Lola” for reassurance. She nodded and agreed that the album helped them both heal through their issues. Lourdes also sings on the new album.
Bob kept trying to time travel with Madonna and take her to her past with his lame questions. He wanted to know more about her song “Material Girl.”
“Thats no longer who I am. I’ve evolved.”
I can totally relate. Just like Madonna, I’m no longer who I was 5 years ago, 10 years ago and even 20 years ago. So, sometimes it’s difficult for me to go back and talk about that “self” since she is no longer a part of ME.
Sure, she’s helped thread my evolution to who I am now and who I’m becoming, but that’s no longer who I am. and it’s terribly annoying when people try to put me back into that box of who I once was.
“You can still shop at Prada and be spiritual.”
Lourdes was quoting her mother Madonna as she was saying she’s not materialistic.
Could have fooled me.
Personally, apart from Bob the Drag Queen asking annoying questions, I thought Madonna looked fabulous. I loved her hot pink gloves. However, I kinda share my friend Rob’s sentiments. “I’m over her.”
However, I will be taking her mantra about being tough and ambitious and becoming a “bitch” for becoming who she is today. And perhaps we all should.
