Hardly a traditional striptease. She had Malala written on her back.

This is the final pic posted and I suspect as far as the "striptease' went.

give it up lady
give it a rest and hold a fundraiser for the issue or sponser an ad or something

She's smarter than this. Someone close to her needs to tell her.

The woman could find a way to take ANYTHING and make it about HER. I look forward to the Adeles, Gagas, Alicia Keys, taking their place on the spotlight.

though it's kind of stuck right now

I got really drunk one night and made this silly fan video for Adrenalin. It is not very good, but it was fun to make.

The video is edited very well, any fan would love it.

Oh the memories, some best to forget! I met Genesis in LA the night of the LA riots. He said that he always felt the need to look over his shoulder in LA .. this was before I drove through the riots. Weird night. He had fled from England then over some charges. Timothy Leary was at this event as well. I still like their music, lots of variety! I always see them as the progenitor, much less mainstream than the bands that followed. Ensturzende Neubauten was at the same level kind of.

Sounds like you had a great night. Leary and Neubauten are awesome.

... one of my favorite band names of all time.

Genesis P. Orrige! Now a female or somewhere in the middle, not sure of his/her name now

but don't think the striptease or whatever act itself was meant for the girl.

it was her words which were for the girl.

..."not aging well." Acting out in this manner at 54 is not quite as endearing as it was when she was 24 -- especially to make a statement of support.

We know you can kick, and stretch, and kick. Now please stop.

i'm glad she cares, publicly, and in her way, which is with controversy.

she IS controversy.

not only is she supporting the teen, she is slapping the face of the hateful religious bastards that did it, showing that women ARE going to be free, and the taliban's opinions about is irrelevant.

that ship has sailed, and all the fundys (including the american talibornigans) of the world have already lost this battle. it will just take longer for them to realize it, and many more will be hurt before they do. but we aren't going back.

it's unfortunate that her art is being twisted by those who are so eager to put her out to pasture. that says a lot more about her critics, than her.

the last thing we need is for those who have the pulpit to shut up and be marginalized because of their age. she, along with many others, are redefining age.

i'm a bit older than madonna, and still think she rocks. we have no intentions of going quietly, and no one can make us.

get used to it.

she could have just made a statement of support without bringing her naked butt into it.

nothing to do with her age. if she were still 25 it would be just as tacky.

madonna can strip til she's 100 for all i care. that's not the point.

I loved her and grew up in her prime (I am 35). However, her latest stunt...after stunt....after stunt SCREAMS of someone with a mid-life crisis, sadly realizing they are no longer relevant. Frankly, it makes me sad to see what she has become.

... but I agree with you here.

It's the same ole story.... be a trend-setter and mind fucker... get crucified for continuing to be one...

In Malala's world, Madonna's "performance" would get her stoned for being "immodest"

As we speak, Malala's opponents will be seizing on this as an example of moral outrage.

Thanks, Madonna. You've made everything better for Malala.

she was being sarcastic.

gawd, the hate for this woman here is really unsettling. It's because she's over 50 and should retire and take up knitting I suppose. And wear long sleeved dresses, don't show her legs. Or be sexy.

irony or what.

TYY

It is stupidity..
The fact is, she is still rolling out memes that are NOT ALL AT GOOD 30 years ago.
As far as age goes, she may have sold a lot of records, but she will never be as respected a songwriter as Steve Nicks or Carole King, and she sure does not have the grace of a Tina Turner, Kate Bush or Cher, all of whom have aged better than Madonna did.

And don't even compare anyone, male or female, to Ann Wilson, a serious candidiate for the best rock vocalist alive, period.

And unlike a Lady Gaga or Alicia Keys, Madonna cannot read music, as opposed to these two that were compsing classic pieces when they were six.

to Malala and what happened to her and now more people know about it.

In this case I say,any publicity is good publicity regarding what has happened to this girl.

If Madonna has to use her naked butt to do it then that's what it takes sometimes

Madonna, a woman, was totally mocking misogynistic RW fundamentalist taliban religious shitheads.

She's saying, "Hey, fundy douchebags, check this out!"


OMG, I just love her. She's one of the world's most brilliant, and creative, feminists.

Seems to be lost on many who are more concerned about her age.

It's also the Pakistani people. And, to give the Daily Mail their due, they've got pictures of them in the report too. There is a lot of support for Malala in the country; people who are on the side of the girl, and girls' education, who are protesting against the fundamentalists. But they are also going to be embarrassed by Madonna wiggling her bare arse in public and saying "this is for freedom!". A story like this is a recruiting tool for the Taliban; they will just say "see? Empowerment of women means they'll strip off in public". And there'll be people in Pakistan - which is where the problem and solution actually is - who will drift back to the Taliban point of view, thanks to Madonna's latest concert gimmick.

Sometimes, westerners have got to realise that international relations aren't just about doing what feels good to themselves. We get this when it's Republicans beating their chests about attacking Iraq, Iran and so on; we should get it when it's a contest between moderates and extremists in another country. Some things we do are counter-productive.

...then people wouldn't criticize it as much.
