It’s true there is a lot of violence in the beginning of the show and sometimes the use of fake guns – but they are used as metaphors.
I do not condone violence or the use of guns.
Rather they are symbols of wanting to appear strong and wanting to find a way to stop feelings that I find hurtful or damaging. In my case its wanting to stop the lies and hypocrisy of the church, the intolerance of many narrow minded cultures and societies I have experienced throughout my life and in some cases the pain I have felt from having my heart broken.
A few paragraphs more over on her blog if you’re not already bored to tears.
She’s always been big into shock value, and this is nothing more. What’s more controversial than guns being used carelessly in today’s world? Not much else.
Thoughts?

Am I the only one wishing for a repeat of the Brandon Lee debacle, but with Madonna?
no sir, you are not
Sweet.
On another note, as an English tutor I find Madonna’s writing to be so horrible that it makes me want to choke babies.
I think a repeat of Jon-Erik Hexum would be better…
Otherwise, you’ll have the kids crying about what an amazing star she was, and how someone else shot her…I’d rather it be from stupidity.
she has sucked since her very first record, just knew how to work the publicity machine is all.
GOD DAMN IT WOMAN! PULL THE TRIGGER!

Madonna: “I dont condone violence or the use of guns, unless of course…I’m on stage. I’M NOT A HYPOCRITE!”
get brandon lee’d bitch.
This is just another use of her “Like a virgin” strategy. If you’re old enough to remember the that period of time you’ll know what I’m talking about. Nothing more to see here.
Anyone else thinking of the “Reservoir Dogs” opening scene about Madonna?
“Let me tell you what Like a Virgin is about …”

Wow, this dovetails nicely with an article about the psychology of hoplophobes called “Raging Against Self Defense: A psychiatrist Examines The Anti-Gun Mentality” written a decade or so ago. What anti-gunners really fear is that you and I are as angry and violent as they are inside.

How old is she now? Damn.
There’s nothing more ridiculous than listening to an aging whore prosthelytize. Recreate the banana scene from “Truth or Dare” on a real .44 and don’t stop until it pops.
I’d rather see a pic like this instead of one of her flopping the boobage out on stage.
Madonna = much ado about nothing.
Lame, but kinda hot when younger. Still lame, and desperately trying to regain what Ga-Ga has taken from her.
Sad, really…
