I read that - how devastating! I remember that Graham Norton Show episode well, the dolls were absolutely stunning (and deserved a better response from Madonna!).

how sad !!! i remember them in the GN show too

I remember them on the show, Madonna did not come across well at all I have to say. It's one of the first times I remember thinking she didn't come across very nice at all. Sad news.

Couple of weeks old but this is a nice recap of Madonna's influence on dance music:

Blonde Ambition Tour revealed as 4th best tour of all time by Consequence of Sound!

It originated as a request: Madonna was working on a film (eventually unmade) with director Luc Besson: “Do you have anything that is like ABBA at Studio 54?” she asked British producer Stuart Price. Soon, Price remembered the heavily filtered edit he’d made of ABBA’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” for his DJ night in Liverpool, where the crowd went bananas whenever it came on. “I played her the track, she listened intently, then she just opened her mouth and sang: ‘Every little thing that you say or do, I’m hung up, I’m hung up on you.…’ It really happened that quickly.” —M.M.

Very deserving of a place on this list! Should be much higher like, but I’ll take it.

Incredible! ❤️

Madonna named 4th greatest musician by Spin Magazine!

She changed the world. Bruce Springsteen may have been the biggest rock star in the ’80s (may still be) but Madonna was the biggest star. No movie star, director, painter, writer or other musician created the tsunamic wake she did when she floated into and out of a country. Crowds the size of those who came to see the Pope greeted her when she arrived in a city like Rome, besieging her hotel. (When she later played Evita in a movie, that role was a step down from the adulation she witnessed in real life.)

Her music was great (I think, always did) but that alone didn’t create the rip in the cultural space-time continuum. She was a liberator. She was 100 percent who she wanted to be and who she said she was, which was more than refreshing, it was, then, society-tearing down. Love her or hate her, she was (I believe) equally happy with either reaction. She freed sex from the prissy cotton wool Reagan’s America was wrapping it back in. Nothing she did was as outrageous as the next thing she did. She was a sustained cultural orgasm.

She coincided with MTV’s rise perfectly, and defined them as much as they helped define her. Her videos were small movies — some R-rated level and banned — and they were great! Her songs and videos were controversial on multiple levels, including the tremendous furor that “Like a Prayer” caused for using Christian crosses and kissing the statue of a Black saint. She sold more than 300 million records, but that’s beside the point. Madonna more embodied the spirit of rock ‘n roll than rock stars. She was nobody’s fool, and still isn’t. – Bob Guccione, Jr
