It was certainly musical
history in 1984 - 27
years ago - when Madonna shocked America
with her writhing around and dry-humping the stage floor in that
super-hot wedding dress.
I'm old enough to have seen it live and I'm telling you younger
kids it was fucking scandalous,
what she did.
Today, anyone with a computer can watch superstars having sex,
but in 1984, this was almost porn.
I
think the phrase "water cooler talk" was invented the next morning as
millions of people said, "Did you see that?"
This
was the performance that put Madonna on the world's map.
This is so old, it
pre-dates Live Aid, where
Madonna (and U2) got even bigger.
My guess is this is one
of MTV's biggest events ever, along with the premier of
Michael Jackson's Thriller video
and MJ's live moonwalking "for the very first
time."
Do you remember seeing this live?
Got any thoughts you'd like to share?
