More From Madonna...

You know, if you would have asked me who I thought Madonna was going to vote for, I probably could have guessed right. But for those of us who aren't so good at inferring these things, she's using her tour to express said views. During one segment of her "Sticky and Sweet" show, which kicked off last week, (see earlier post) she showed both candidates on the monitors along with some other well-known public figures.

After showing what news networks are calling "images of destruction [and] global warming", the audience saw Adolf Hitler and Zimbabwean president (and major league asshole) Robert Mugabe followed by none other than Arizona Senator and Presidential candidate John McCain.

Then later in the show, Barack Obama's image was presented after John Lennon, Al Gore, and Gandhi.

So while some acts will bring along booths where concertgoers can register to vote, Madonna just compares them to dictators or martyrs. Glad to see she's doing her part...

Madonna's Upcoming Tour

If there's one thing Madonna is known for, it's taking EVERYTHING over the top. And it sounds like her upcoming tour won't be an exception. She has called it a "rock-driven, dancetastic journey." (shudders) Word is that the show will be broken down into four sections: 1920's Gangsta (I think it should be gangstER) Pimp, old school New York (Studio 57?), gypsy, and a "far-eastern inspired rave."

Here are the main points:

--8 Costume Changes
--Pre-recorded duet with Britney Spears
--16 Dancers
--12 Member Backing Band
--653 Hours of Tour Rehearsals

The tour kicks off on Saturday.
