On Madonna: “I was in some ways in love with Madonna. I saw her dancing to Holiday [on TV] and she was dressed very well … It was exactly in my spirit and I said, ‘Oh, she must be English!’ because the look was not at all American. I loved her music — I love that first period of Madonna more than anything else.”

Attention BuzzFeed:
After traveling around the world and witnessing an overwhelming amount of discrimination, intolerance, and bigotry — I felt I needed to make a statement.
I started ArtForFreedom.com in September 2013 to give artists everywhere a platform to define what freedom means to them and to allow them to express their right for freedom of expression.
Now I am asking you — the BuzzFeed community — to share with me and others your artistic expression of freedom. This can be in the form of photography, video, dance, poetry, etc. I will be going through those entries directly on April 14 at 7 p.m. and giving you my input and encouragement to let your voice be heard LOUDLY.
An artist has the responsibility to not only reflect society, but to shape it.
If you need any inspiration, I made you a BuzzFeed-worthy list of some of the many freedom fighters who have guided me along the way with their actions as well as their art.
Are you with me? Then submit below and I will see you on April 14.

Madonna has seemingly teased new lyrics in her latest Instagram post.
The singer sparked speculation last month that she is preparing to release a new single called Rebel Heart, after posting a picture of a sunset along with the title.
She has now posted a picture of a show jumping horse (seen above) along with the caption: “Without Collection there can be no Impulsion! #rebelheart”
Last month, she posted: “Day turns into night. I wont give up the fight. Don’t want to get to the end of my days……….saying I Wasn’t amazed! #revolutionoflove”
She recently confirmed that she is working with cult pop singer Natalia Kills and producer Martin Kierszenbaum on new material, and went into the studio with DJ and producer Avicii last month.
Madonna’s last studio album, MDNA, was released in 2012 and reached number one in the US and UK. She scored her 13th and most recent UK chart-topping single with 4 Minutes in 2008.

As I sat down to write this week’s column, I turned on a little music for inspiration.
My three favorite Madonna songs, “La Isla Bonita,” “Express Yourself,” and “Open Your Heart,” did just fine.
I’ve always been a fan of the Material Girl’s music and movies, so I’m very excited to share with you news of a brand new spring fundraiser being planned in Bay City by the Do-Care Family Enrichment Center.
The nonprofit’s “Material World Fundraiser” takes place Saturday, May 31, and celebrates all things Madonna.
The fun is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with a scavenger hunt around the city of Madonna’s birth. Teams of up to four people will take to the streets with their smartphones in search of people, places and things associated with the legendary singer.
At 1 p.m., Madonna fans can hop on the Bay Metro trolley for a tour of more than a dozen Madonna-related sites. As they go, they’ll learn all about Madonna’s personal Bay City history.

It certainly wasn’t a good day for our wallets. Tomorrow the record fair will be opened from 10-17, the next record fair will be in November. For more information visit www.recordplanet.nl
We have just added a whole bunch of Unofficial Madonna releases (CD and cassette) to our Unofficial Releases section under Discography. These items are all silver factory pressings and no home made material, but they’re all still 100% unofficial.
