OMFG - MADONNA "Material Girl"
Surprise indeed!
Not a hater. AL is.
Yep. Although AL did spice things up fairly often, credit where credit is due--Renee seems to have even less of an aversion to playing these types of songs.
AL has a problem with Madonna personally. She wrote about it once.
As in, she met Madonna once and she was a real beyotch, or AL just has an issue with the way she's marketed herself?
The latter. I think it was an old guard feminist thing. From what I recall, most of the feminists of the '80's and '90's loved Madonna. They "got" her.
Take what I'm writing with several grains of salt, though. It's never a good idea to put words into another person's mouth, especially based on a hazy recollection of a past (written) conversation. I'd just always wondered why Madonna was so scarce on '80's 10@10's, particularly since she is so iconic for that decade. I thought maybe it was KFOG's perception of its listeners' crunchy leanings. But AL indicated it was her decision based on her distaste for Madonna. Of that, I'm pretty sure.
