All right, here it is. I think she is doing what she wants to be doing, and has a perfect right to do so. If you do not like it, don't buy her albums, don't buy the magazine, and change stations when a Madonna song comes on the radio. Its a (semi)free country and she is taking advantage of it. More power to her (even if I do dislike almost all of her songs -- obviously somebody likes them). The fact that she is posing nude implies NONE of your speculations (isn't there an old saying about filth being in the mind of the beholder?). If you don't want her as a role model, fine. She won't be yours. She's not mine, either. These are personal choices. I deplore the aspersions you cast on those for whom she is a role model. Enough. Your posting sickens me. geoff sherwood
