Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour Begins

Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet Tour Begins

• August 25, 2008

Madonna has begun her Sticky and Sweet tour, which include top hats and fishnets.Â What happened to the cone-shape corsets?Â I mean that stuff was classic Madonna attire in concert.

She sadly seems to be trying to hang on to the past, and she’s doing fine, but I find myself almost feeling bad for her..Â I’m thinking, What are you doing woman?Â Your too old to dress like that! It’s funny that I never thought that about Cher.

Leave it to Madonna to stir trouble for herself, CBC News reports:

During her performance of Get Stupid, an image of McCain is shown alongside those of Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe, as well as photos of global warming and destruction.
Later in the concert, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s face is shown in a sequence that also includes images of Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon and Al Gore.

The response:

“The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time,” said Tucker Bounds, a McCain campaign spokesman.

Madonna’s past controversies include:

In 1990, Toronto police threatened to arrest her for simulating masturbation on stage as part of a concert for her Blond Ambition tour.

About three years later, during a concert in Puerto Rico for her Girlie Show world tour, Madonna reportedly angered officials by rubbing the Puerto Rican flag between her legs.

A frequent critic has been the Roman Catholic Church, which along with Jewish and Muslim leaders, objected to a mock crucifixion scene she staged during 2006’s Confessions tour.

Here are photos taken of Madonna while on stage in Wales on August 23rd, and you can judge for yourself.
