Happy birthday Mrs Ritche!
Hot on the heels of the Feast of the Assumption comes the 50th birthday of Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie. It's turning into a rainy weekend, but that's OK because "Rain", our favourite substance, is one of the Michigan girl's many miracles.
It's become fashionable to diss Madonna, but those hung up on what she does to keep that figure and face are missing the bigger picture. She is the uncontested Queen of Pop! Don't believe it? Here are ten of the best in case you've forgotten how good she really is: Borderline, Human Nature, Bad Girl, Oh Father, Open Your Heart, Don't Tell Me, Drowned World, Like A Prayer, Hung Up, Justify My Love.
