How Long Could You Hold The Attention of a Stadium Full of People?

I have had my issues with Madge over the past couple years, notably some of her unfortunate—in my humble opinion—decisions regarding plastic surgery, but I have to hand it to her: we're the same age and there's no way in hell I could ever do what she's doing in her concerts—especially considering she nearly died a year ago. I'd be gasping for breath after a single number (if I even lasted that long) and needing to sit down!

(And to think that when I was in my 20s I'd be out all night dancing to extended 30-minute song remixes!)

Many years ago I remarked that Madonna needed to start acting her age, settle down and put out an album of Torch Songs, but after seeing clips from her concert tour, I have to say, You Go Girl. You do you because whatever you're doing, it's working!

Kinda Surprising

A lot of folks who I thought were still alive, and a lot who I thought had died…

Gratuitous Dino Fetscher

His character in Apple TV's Foundation series was killed off this week. I am very disappointed.

Speaking of Foundation, if you have AppleTV+ and you like sci-fi, I would strongly suggest checking it out. Since my teens I have attempted to read the souce material several times, but never got far enough in that it held my interest. It's very dense; perhaps even moreso than DUNE, and try as I might I just couldn't get into it.

That being said, even Season One of this series had me reaching for the remote on more than one occasion. But I stuck with it, and my patience has paid off in Season Two. I think I finally understand what is going on in Asimov's universe, and as we near the end of this season, I have to admit I am very engaged.

As I said, I never made it more than about 50 pages into the book, but I seriously doubt it was as gay-inclusive as Apple's telling of the story. Glawen Curr (Fetscher, himself an out-and-proud queer actor) and Bel Roise (Ben Daniels) are a married same-sex couple in the series, but they aren't the only one. It was still kind of surprising when it was first revealed—but I know it shouldn't have been. We are talking a story that takes place literally thousands of years in the future.
