Incomprehensible?  Well who is that a reflection on?  I comprehend her
quite well.  My interpretations of her songs even match very closely
(sometimes perfectly) with her own explanations that she published long
after I reached my own conclusions.

> boring,

Well, you're entitled to your opinion.

>  repetitive, and....

I'm sure you're missing 90% of the song through a TV speaker.

> tries too hard to be "artistic".

Well that's just something to be *real* ashamed of!

And all these generalizations from one song!  A song that was so
different from everything she had done previously, that it pissed me off
totally when I first heard it....  (Though her lyrics are usually just
as "incomprehensible", the throbbing drone dance beat is something she
just recently discovered....)

> In all honesty, we much prefer Madonna.  Or just about anyone else!

Well, that says it all, doesn't it?
