Ryan Murphy says Madonna is the “most important artist of the last 50 years”:
“No one comes close in cultural import, other than Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney, both of whom are truly incredible artists for the ages. […] The hate Madonna has received, and survived. It's beyond comprehension. There is no one in my lifetime who has meant more to me, or had more of an impact on art, fashion, music,
ALL OF IT. Than Madonna.”
Madonna: “My look is inspired by one of my favorite surrealist painters, Leonora Carrington, her reinterpretation of the story of St Anthony the Great. His whole story is about the struggle of the soul that Leonora… she saw it as the struggle of women and feminine divinity. She has a ship on her head, symbolizing the journey of the soul; the horn, symbolizing the unification of music; and then the seven women around her represent the mystical number seven.”
On this date in 1984 the pilot episode for The Get Along Gang cartoon debuted on tv.
BITE-SIZED FACT | The series lasted just 13 episodes after the pilot. #80s
1983 Saturday morning cartoon lineup on ABC. Some old favorites mixed in w/some oddball newbies. The attempt to humanize Rubik’s Cube was…interesting. I had a Monchhichi (sort of the less evil Labubu of its day).
