No Rock And Roll Fun

REMEMBER, SHE DID 'LIKE A VIRGIN': There's a big interview with Madonna over on Launch - it was done by one of their executives, and oddly, although the feature is dated July 19th, it seems to have been conducted quite a while before - indeed, a quote from it has been used on Launch news a while back. Anyway, there's a few nuggets of interest in there - apparently creating The Worst Bond Movie Theme Ever was a "several months ordeal" (imagine what she'd have done if she'd had even longer.) She blubs that people's reviews of her movies are, like, personal attacks - yes, Maddy, that's because you have the power to suck the very colour out of celluloid by your very screen presence, and you can't act for toffee.

But perhaps most tellingly, she's asked the most exciting point of her career. She chooses going on stage to promote Like a Virgin for the first time. Maybe the reason why nothing she's done since that point sounds quite so arresting to the audience is because she's never been thrilled by performing in the same way? It's just a job for her now, and that shows.
