Madonna Concert

OK...OH MY GOD! OK...

To preface this, let me say Madonna was my original obsession. For those of you that don't know this, Madonna was my first obsession..and if you besome a loyal reader of this site, no doubt you will notice I have a few others... (hee hee). But yes, Madonna was the first. Growing up, age 7, 8, 9...I was totally enamored with this incredibly confident performer who could sing (in my range!) dance (I still can't...Unless you count Dance Dance Revolution) and write (as I always loved to do!)

Plus, she was huge! Everyone knew her! It is almost hard to imagine her, of anyone, being a normal person, because she almost always is a persona...She always has these images that she is trying to portray...Which is part of why I think I was so fascinated by her...Because I loved looking between the lines to try to figure out who she really was...

Come to think about it, that may be exactly what she was trying to do...

So on Wednesday, I got to go see Madonna perform. Could I have been more excited? We had good seats...We were in the highest section at the Pond (you know, like the 400's) but only the fifth row back...and we were all the way over by the stage on the side, just far out enough to be able to see the screens. We were probably as far out as maybe row 5 to 10 in the floor section! I mean, you could actually see her clearly and recognize her!

And what an amazing show. She sang some awesome songs...A fair mix of her new songs as well as her old ones. She knew how to get people up on their feet, and step to the beat, boy what will it be...

But the most amazing thing was just seeing her...I mean, THE Madonna, it was almost surreal. Incredible.

A night I am sure I'll never forget.

"This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end?"
