She donated her time and efforts to the LIVE AID concert.  In so doing
she helped collect enough money to make a real difference for many
starving people.  Apparently neither our government nor the corporate
establishment has as much power.

Mr. Robinson, you incontinent, hate-ridden atavism, over the totality
of your life you will never perform as much social service as did she
in 25 minutes.  You are not worthy to lick her boots.  Kindly dry up
and blow away.

[Personal aside:  I'm no fan of Madonna's music or apparent attitudes.
But my particular tastes can't encompass anybody's existence.  In
fact, they can barely encompass someone's most insignificant surface
qualities.  I was reminded of that by the concert.  Readers are
invited to remind me again, not necessarily gently, when next I
pontificate about something.]
