Re: Madonna
in reply to a message by Orla.
It's so theatrical, so aggressively Catholic, that if I didn't know that the singer was named after her own mother, I would assume it was a stage name and she was really Marcia or Sharon or Denise.
Unlike a lot of celebrity names like Aaliyah, Taylor and Whitney, Madonna never caught on, which I think shows that most people recognize the phony vibes of it. Not even many Catholics use this, if they want to honor the Madonna they use Mary or some form of Mary or any of her many attributes/associations.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
