Show Business: Madonna Rocks the Land

(7 of 7)

One last funny, sad, self-parodying joke as the lights go up: a loud, disapproving, male voice is heard over the loudspeaker, saying "Madonna, get down off that stage this instant!" And Madonna's recorded voice, whining, "Daddy, do I hafta?" Then the Wanna Be's, to whom the war between men and women is still far less real than the eternal skirmishing between parents and children, file out of the hall, dreaming of the time when they will be able to do anything in the world they want. Like Madonna.
