Madonna’s First Rolling Stone Cover - Part 2

In this episode I start by talking about Madonna’s scholarship and period at the University of Michigan, her nights dancing at the Blue Frogge, a bar on campus, to the disco hits of the era at the times in which John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever was a smash. I also talk about the day she met Stephen -or Steve- Bray, a waiter that was going to change her life, and that, many years after meeting Madonna, would become a Grammy Winner himself for his work in the revival of the Broadway Musical The Color Purple.

I also talk about Dan and Ed Gilroy, who would later be a part of the band “The Breakfast Club” with Madonna, and at some point also with Steve Bray. The time Madonna spent at the abandoned synagogue the brothers rented in Queens, New York and the time Madonna left New York to go to Paris to be a part of the Patrick Hernandez Tour, the time the legendary “Born to be Alive” became a hit. 

All the ballet companies Madonna was a part of when she got to New York are also mentioned in this episode, and how she transitioned from dancer to singer, to then started learning how to play musical instruments. 

The participation of Madonna at the Grammys 2023 is also mentioned here. I start by sharing her words when presenting the controversial performance of “Unholy” by Sam Smith and Kim Petras, and their historic Grammy win.
