For years, I had gone to clubs where Madonna was rumored to be a "special guest". More than once I was let down, as the club owners, who raked in the money, seemingly mocked the disappointed patrons. So, with great skepticism I stood in the frigid rain on Saturday on the "word" that Madonna might be appearing at the mega-club Roxy. (It wasn't that bad, I had a hot boy visiting from Ohio sharing my umbrella!)

After umpteen annoying teasers, such as smoke and confetti, the music finally stopped, and Madonna pranced out to the delight of the roaring crowd. She did not sing, but she did dance to a few songs. She brought on-stage several screaming star-struck queens from the audience to dance with her. I thought more than one might faint from the overwhelming excitement.

I prayed that she wouldn't ask me to come up and do a jig. I was sure my clumsy ass would have tripped her and she would have tumbled off the stage and broken her neck. Imagine the horror! As the man who killed the Diva, I would be banned for life from every gay bar in the world. I'd have to move to the moon to get laid.

All I can say is that Madonna was fucking fabulous! She was in spectacular shape, looked magnificent and still shakes her thang like she's a teenager. She also had the intangible "It" that makes one a mega-superstar. I've never seen a person take command of the room like Madonna. After a close-up, I can see why she is a star among stars. I've enjoyed her music and act since high school. But, I love her more than ever. She is one of the rare stars who keeps getting better with age.

Wayne - I had to grin when I read your blog about seeing Madonna at the Roxy. As much as her latest "religiosity trend" is getting on my last nerve ... I am and will always be a fan. We grew up with her and so I'm sure I would've been as giddy and starstruck as you seem to have been! ;)

I guess the Kabbalah agrees with her.

Who Madonna, May Jenkins,Barbara Jordan, Maya Angelou? The ONLY Superdivas are Renata Tebaldi, Maria Callas, and Rene Pape!
