You have no idea how much cash this woman gives to charity or what her humanitarian interests are, she's certainly not a saint but she's worth more than your condescending judgement. And "Ray of Light" was definately not her last decent pop song, she isn't in my top 100 singers but she is probably the best POP act ever, next to the Beatles. Anyway, it's good to see the boundaries changing. Too bad Radiohead stopped making good music years ago. NIN is the most exciting of the 3. Live Nation is said to be hoping to make a similiar deal with U2, and for any major artists they may swap up in the coming years, I hope cutting cd prices is ideal for them. Imagine Madonna's next album going for a flate rate of $6.00 at Amazon. @ A.P. why does Madonna being greedy mean the ‘anachornistic POP dinosaur’ career should bite the dust?

I imagine her comercial decline worldwide will follow that in the US - and not a moment too soon for such an anachronistic POP dinosaur.
