“My concerts are always my escape. I get onstage and I just forget everything but the music and the audience. The minute the lights go out, I’m back to …
well, reality.”
But something fascinating occurred when Madonna arrived, something I’ve never seen before. There was one frantic cry — “She’s here!” — when she stepped onto the red carpet and slowly made her way in, talking to media and posing. And then, a kind of eerie silence descended. The cameras kept flashing (and flashing!) but the standard loud demands that she move closer, look this way, hurry up! were muted. The photogs even stopped fighting and elbowing among themselves. It was almost as if they feared she’d turn and leave if they didn’t give her some respect and breathing space. One grizzled and usually rude paparazzi said, “She’s not like the rest of them … she’s the queen. She’ll give us what we need.”
And she did.....
And she did.....
