Madonna Takes A Holiday

Rashod D. Ollison of the Baltimore Sun weighed in on Madonna’s decision to pull her ‘American Life’ video at the last second with a suspicious eye. She writes, “It’s typical Madonna: Always pushing buttons, always stirring the air a bit. But now, at 44 and with two small children, she’s concerned with what she’s saying and how folks will digest it. Is Madonna belatedly becoming a responsible artist? Or is she just, to quote jazz/soul man Les McCann, ‘chicken feathers all without one gut’?”
