Madonna Kicks Off U.S. Tour in City of Brotherly Love

Here's my friend Christopher's micro review of Madonna's first show of her North American MDNA  tour:

Disappointing on the level of few hits performed. Not a show where the audience sang and danced for two hours. A lot of new material that many in the audience didn't know and therefore the energy dropped. When familiar songs were done, energy was amazing. The show was very artistic and dark. The average concert goer likely didn't get it. Her voice, when she sang live, was quite good. She still is an amazing performer and super intelligent. I fear many left wondering where the fun was.

For those playing the home version, the show is about "the journey of a soul from darkness to light,” according to Ms. Ciccone.

Welcome to Anderson Cooper’s New 'Gaytime' Talk Show!

While my friends and I may have been held hostage last Friday by Anderson Cooper's inept staff -- who knew there was no chance of our getting into the studio to see the taping of his new talk show -- my pals Christopher and Matt had better luck on Tuesday.
