MDNA & LMFAO

Madonna in Hyde Park last Tuesday night: Started with lots of hooded monks chanting and incense burning into the humid and damp air (it did rain but at least it wasn't biblical!). It was a well organised, choreographed show (as expected with Madonna) but presented outdoors with imperfect acoustics. Still, her Madgesty looked good and I love her new hairstyle. She's still got it. She sang a few great hits but played that guitar much too often. There were cheerleaders and marching bands and tightrope walkers like at the Superbowl. But I have to say that the best part was seeing Rocco Ritchie with his blue jersey and orange beats, dancing like a natural centre stage with his mom. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I really enjoyed LMFAO opening the show! So fun! (Strange, I never get writer's block when talking about concerts, theatre, art shows or films. I really should've been a critic. When did I pass up that fork in the road?)

Writer's block (again)

Trying very hard to get motivated to write an essay for an art business course. It's been over 25 years since I've had to write and submit an academic paper for a mark or grade, let alone a certificate. I am channeling all the art gods to inspire me.
