Madonna and Child

Madonna is able to sing.

Get yourself a sweet Madonna...

Madonna, but I worried about you!

Arrivederci. I'll pray madonna for you.

Reagan was President. Madonna was still a brunette.

Madonna, My Lord... what will I do now?

Dark, I bet... with a face like a Madonna, huh, Marty?

Took my Madonna. Where's he gone now? How do I know?

Constant change and the appearance of excitement absorb viewers attention. The Sistine Chapel cannot compare with it most children will become bored after ten minutes by the frescoes of Michelangelo, but will watch a detergent commercial with riveted interest.

And also, some Rachmaninov piano concertos as main dishes, and some Bjork or Madonna desserts, that would be a very exciting restaurant where you can actually eat songs.

Most likely, he would have done worse. In an interview, David s father did not deny that his son would be better off with Madonna, and he refused to support the human rights activists seeking David s return.

In adopting a child from a poor country, Madonna is following an example set by other celebrities like Mia Farrow, Ewan McGregor, and Angelina Jolie. Do such adoptions achieve anything more than helping the individual children adopted?

David s father, Yohane Banda, suddenly in the media spotlight, said he had not understood that his son no longer belonged to him and might never return to Malawi. Madonna says that that is not what Banda said earlier, although she does not speak his language.

After her death, his father, a villager who grows vegetables and gets other work when he can, was unable to care for him, and placed him in an orphanage. There, until Madonna came into contact with him, he was living with about 500 other children.

While pop music fans in China can listen to whatever they like, including Madonna singing I'm gonna shake up the system, ordinary Chinese need courage to speak such messages aloud. As one saying goes, There is not want of conscience in Chinese, but there is want of courage.

Although Madonna has said that she will bring him back to Malawi to see his father again, he will scarcely be able to feel at home there. His mother tongue will be English if he ever learns to speak his father s language, it will be as a foreigner.

A black child in a largely white world, he will always be the orphan Madonna adopted. The difficulties of living in such circumstances, however, are surely less daunting than the hazards David would have faced had he stayed in the orphanage assuming that he would have survived at all.

The Madonna like status of Cory Aquino in the Philippines was inspiring in the heady days of People Power, but did little to bolster the institutions of a secular democracy. In Poland, once the battle against Communism was won, the Solidarity movement was soon sundered by conflicts between secular democrats and believers who looked to the Church for guidance.

I had also had the privilege since the last 37 years to work on several masterpieces as you can see behind me, but basically to do what? Well, to assess, for example, the state of conservation. See here the face of the Madonna of the Chair that when just shining a UV light on it you suddenly see another, different lady, aged lady, I should rather say.

A month before, it seems safe to assume, many of these people had never heard of his native land, a landlocked African nation of about 13 million people bordering Mozambique, Zambia, and Tanzania. Suddenly, David became the world s best known Malawian because it was his good fortune to be adopted by Madonna, the pop star who is to TV cameras what honey is to bears.

It's funny when Steve Jobs came back to Apple in 1997, after 12 years away, it was the MacWorld Expo he came to the stage in that black turtleneck and jeans, and he sort of did this. The crowd went wild, but I'm like, where have I seen this before? I had just seen the movie Evita with Madonna, and I'm like, you know what, I've got to do one about Steve Jobs.
