\"Madonna\"<\/a>I back tracked into Madonna’s <\/em>first album. I had really enjoyed Like A Virgin<\/em> and her earlier hits like Lucky Star,\u00a0Borderline<\/em> and Holiday<\/em> were attractive and energetic. As\u00a0I listen to her right now, part of me smiles with warm memories of this era in my life and the seemingly uncomplicated notion of living and dancing. The other part of me feels a sadness at the obvious realization that there is no going back. I really do miss this<\/em> Madonna. I wonder if she does too.<\/p>\n

This was just before her rise to icon<\/em> status. I remember seeing her on Bandstand back in the day and she seemed young and amibtious with dreams of fame and success. It was before she made controversy her vehicle. This <\/em>Madonna was just about dancing, singing and riding the wave of her efforts. It was before she became the poster child for pushing any envelopes.<\/p>\n

MTV was showing clips of her Like A Virgin <\/em>concert.\u00a0 Too bad that one isn’t available on DVD. I wouldn’t mind capturing that era’s Madonna<\/em> in concert. Again the question pops up.\u00a0Is it typical that\u00a0a guy that was so into Metallica<\/em> could also be so fond of Madonna?\u00a0 <\/em>Does this say anything about My Musical Evolution?<\/em><\/p>\n

Lucky Star<\/em>
