Nice. Madonna has gotten worse and worse, ever self-conscious and now beyond
self-parody. She's ripped off countless people, from Bjork to Philip Glass,
but cannot seem to merge all these sounds into something new or even her
own. Plus, she's a rotten actress. "Evita" was laughably bad. Well, at least
she's rich.
