A Star is Born

Where it all began. I had the first album for a few months and then at the newsstand in December of 1983, I came across this - a first album outtake in color blasting A STAR IS BORN on Billboard magazine. This was my third photograph of Madonna - before I had seen any video.

It would be a good 3 months before I would see the video for Borderline. Really her first video, they didn't play Burning Up or Everybody until after the success of Borderline. I would see those on MV3, a local Los Angeles new wave video program hosted by KROQ's Richard Blade.

God of Pop Culture

Billboard Magazine 1985

In today's day and age where pop culture reigns supreme and there is no need to know anything, Madonna - God of Pop Culture looms over all. We see her influences everywhere. We see wannabe's in abundance. We see people not only byting her style but even her myth and template for stardom. It's fascinating to know that in January of 1984 that she said she wanted to rule the world. Within pop culture, She is.

World AIDS Day

In 1991, Madonna took out a full page ad in Billboard Magazine to get people in the record industry involved against the fight against AIDS.

It's about the music, it's always been about the music.

The Madonna is coming to the Holy Land.

The Material Girl is coming to the Holy Land.

Madonna will play in Tel Aviv on Sept. 1 for the last stop on her Sticky and Sweet world tour. The pop star's website quotes her as saying she's "very excited about returning to Israel for my last and final show."

Madonna isn't Jewish, but she has adopted the Hebrew name of Esther and is a student of Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism. She made a private pilgrimage to Israel in 2004 to visit grave sites of Jewish sages.

Israelis often gripe that major artists usually skip the Jewish state when they tour. Her upcoming visit was front page news Tuesday.

This will be the pop icon's second gig in Israel. She last performed in the country in 1993.

She began her tour last August in Cardiff, Wales.

Released in April of last year, "Hard Candy" debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200, making it Madonna's seventh album to top the US chart.
