Can't knock the hustle.

FILE UNDER: For Your Consideration.



QUESTION: Did you see how Justin dissed her when he was inducting Madonna into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Low class.


Damn it Britney!

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard that Madonna would be granted admission into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This shit would have been monumental. Madonna's gonna perform, I thought, OR one or the many pop princesses would get up there and tear the roof off the sucka! Or maybe they'd perform a medley of some sort and have everyone on their feet; One nation under a groove, all marching to the beat of Madonna's drums.

But no, none of the above.

Strike 1: Madonna ain't performing!

Strike 2: Justin Timberlake [who I am completely and utterly convinced is an asshole, no matter how much I enjoy his music] will be inducting her?





Strike 3: Iggy & the Stooges will be performing in her honor. (?)




What. (?)

The. (?)

Fuck. (?)

This is not the way it's supposed to be.

And then I calmed the fuck down and thought about things for a minute. And you know what? Madonna, I ain't mad at cha.

Yes you're being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but you also got an album to promote. It's lead single features Mr. Timberlake, so okay, I see you. And having a [once?] badass punk band perform two of your songs, two songs, it must be said, though popular, are arguably not your most recognizable/well known singles or songs? Pretty bad ass.

Look, this your job. Many people stop and go, "ho sit down", or "go sit still." But you don't, and you can't, and won't, and every two years there you are, new album in tow, grabbing our attention, latching on to a trend, staying the course, and somehow locking us in, just like you did two years before that, and two years before that, and the two years before that, and so on, and so on.

So keep on, keep, keepin on. I'm curious to hear this new Timbo/JT ish. Hopefully it'll bring Loose like success, and keep you away from any Red Carpet Massacres.
