Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Okay Okay Enough already. See how easily I cave! A truce, a truce. I was just joking around. I didn't mean to insult your name, Ineednonumber23. <br><br>But this incarnation of Madonna as the enlightened yogini truly SUX. (By the way its spelled with an X, not a K.) And Hey Lauren a.k.a. Madonna_Ashtanga -- Don't you realize that the yogini thing was just last years packaging? She already moved on, so why don't you? Like the year before that she was a Goth and the year before that she was a bullfighter or whatever and the year before that she was a sex fiend and the year before that she was trying to be hispanic and the year before that she was a drag queen and the year before that she was into interracial dating (back when it was kind of taboo) and the year before that she was a pregnant teenager and so on and so on. Hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she is enlightened because she sure does seem to have the reincarnation thing down! But I think she missed something because why would a yogini choose to be reincarnated as a pimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Hey JoJo<br><br>Not that I cant getaway from my computer or anything but. . . <br><br>Thank you, rec'd with grace and lowered eyes. And my names silly so insult away by all means. . . <br><br>Yeah Madonna is big on the repackaging thing but thats money for you. Still Im inclined to agree with Maddy-Ash, she does seem to have chilled since she discovered toga (toga eh??? oooops!). And despite all her money shes written some really beautiful songs. i dont mean in terms of tune or rhythm but rather sentiment. okay im a big cheese monster i admidt it but there are songs from the heart that chime with my perception of the yoga path all through her career (but NOT that bloody awful ashtanga one on 'ray of light'!!!). and her movies. . . less said eh!?<br><br>shes doing all right that ciccone girl. . . <br><br><br>my fave??? dance mix of frozen - i remember hearing it ina club and would NOT have it that it was by her. . . <br><br>ah well night, night Amerika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Alright, let me clear up the Madonna thing, seeing as how you all need the REAL 411 on her (laugh at that). She may "reincarnate" herself for the public every year, but she's been dilligently practicing Ashtanga since 1994. She does 2 hours of practice every day in the morning. I know this for a fact. I'm in close contact with one of her publicists. So, that's that. I'm sure that all of you 100% follow the Ashtanga guidelines all day every day, everywhere you go... )<br><br>Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 j'adore madonna. ray of light was her sgt. pepper. i even loved "om shantih" (c'mon, translation by vyaas houston of the american sanskrit institute and everything!). call me koo-koo but there it is. even said so in print, to much amusing response:<br><a href=http://members.nbci.com/omboy/81-hx.htm target=new>http://members.nbci.com/omboy/81-hx.htm</a><br><br>life is grand!

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 first of all please don't ever shut up, especially when saying such kind words about me. (ha!) seriously, your thoughts and observations are astute and stimulating.<br><br>funny about 'music' -- i went to a club party celebrating its release last summer. thought the video was hilarious -- much better than the song, which i must admit i don't get -- can't quite place it in any context beyond retro joke. (i am fast becoming the least qualified to comment on anything as worldly as pop culture). but they showed all the old videos first, on a giant screen. people were gagging (i.e. loving it)! it was a real madonnastock. everybody dancing and singing along. got chills and misty-eyes during much of it -- 'vogue,' 'express yourself,' 'if i live to tell,' 'papa don't preach' with tough guy danny aiello as papa in feminine hygiene product soft focus wearing more rouge than any pre-pomo drag queen, and what's that one where she escapes the peep show and skips away down the highway with the little boy after kissing him full on the lips? priceless. so many memories and associations flooded back -- innocence, shame, delusion, revelation, redemption, anthem -- an orgy of attachment like slurping ice cream soup. <br><br>i have seen 'who's that girl' half a dozen times -- can never resist it if i'm being slothful and it comes on a local tv station. now you know i'm really nutty, and worse -- i have actually sympathized with rosanna arquette while i imagine her crestfallen on the set of 'desparately seeking susan' upon realizing that madonna was becoming a big pop icon, and would usurp her position as star of the film by the time it was released despite very little screen time. this daydream probably inspired by a weekly world news headline. you see why meditation as often and as sustained as possible is so liberating to such a flibbertyjibbet as i can be.<br><br>anyway, was really excited when i first heard 'ray of light.' was at twilo and junior vasquez put on the title song. 'that's madonna' my always helpful ex informed me. 'i know," i lied. we stepped to the dance floor and twirled madly.<br><br>not given to fandom, and not necessarily a bhakti yogi devoted to madonna, but like much of the rest of the world love her honesty and artful way of expressing the obvious, something each generation needs a voice of its own to do. my response to her is visceral, as it is to richard wagner operas, billy holiday and buddy holly. go figure.<br><br>have no problem with others having a problem with 'om shantih.' remember that old boy george song -- 'bow down, mister, sing hare krishna, hare krishna ...' catchy, but like most of his songs, i'm so seduced by the lilting voice and never listened too closely to the words -- is it satirical or devotional? can appreciate both. am not familiar enough with sanskrit beyond kirtan and mantras -- how does irony manifest in sanskrit? am informed of historical boy george sightings at the sivananda center in london. madonna was undisputedly a jivamukti regular for years before 'ray.' the original pop aspirant, george harrison, had a big hit around 1970 with 'my sweet lord/hare krishna' (and was successfully sued for plagiarism -- it had the same tune as 'he's so fine (oh yeah!).' harrison reportedly screamed 'hare krisha' from his bed as that intruder was stabbing him a couple of years back, following the teachings of the bhagavad gita to die with that sacred name the last thing to pass one's lips. doesn't get more real than that.<br><br>i think it's all about a good thing made better for celebrity lending the spotlight to its proliferation.
