Madonna may possibly be the most famous woman in the world. Selling over 250,000,000 albums worldwide, she has been without question at the top of her game dating back to her jaw dropping, trend setting debut back in 1983.
She without question is an iconic genious who, although often controversial has always led by example. Her lyrics alone have always been a source of inspiration and sence of enlightenment.
I had first met Madonna in the early 90's. I lived up the street from her in LA. As time went by, and having many of the same friends we had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions.
We met and had dinner at Benvenuto in LA, and several times in the neighborhood. Most recently while in NY, I ran into her again at dinner. We spoke briefly and again had the pleasure of catching her up to date on KathyRinaldiHope, and thanked her for the generous seats her camp had given me... seat 1A & 1B- best in the house.
Back in the day, while at dinner she wanted to know the reasoning behind the tattoo I have on my right shoulder. Explaining my proclaimed dedication, I then asked her what she attributed to her success. She hugged me and whispered to "always believe in myself."
Madonna is a great Iconic institution who has not endorsed a way of life, but has described one. She inspires and evokes thought so that individually we could all make up our own mind. In a sense educating us all on so many levels. With understanding comes knowledge, and with knowledge comes power. I applaud this amazing individual for her tireless efforts and thank her for giving back so much more than she took and has been granted.
