Madonna!

After 20+ yrs of Madonna, I finally got to see her in concert. Yeah! A long trek with delays to Wembley Stadium in N London via Waterloo (remember what I said before, 'all trains lead to Waterloo') and we finally arrived - completely missing the opening act.. Whatever it was. We had good seats. Madonna was great. Obviously working out 12hrs a day by her looks. She sang, danced, played the guitar numerous times (does she REALLY play?), and chatted to the audience off and on. We were there nearly 2hrs. The only thing I didn't like was this trend with 40+ celebs - they feel the need to suddenly loudly voice all of their social, political, environmental, etc. beliefs. Many of her new songs were of this vein. Yawn. But other than that, a great show. And they had the roof open which was really great - even after all the rain we had, it stayed clear last night.

And, while waiting for her start, a scan around the stadium revealed a few notables: Fergie, Gweneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Penelope Cruz.

Good to see all the Americans in attendence. :)
