See what happens when Madonna changes her outfit?

(Following up on the whole John McCain thing.)

In Madonna live shows, her clothes and set change drastically about four times a show. Sometimes this doesn't take much time, and you never notice you were "waiting" because there was a small extended intro to the song (and actually it usually makes it even more fun and amazing when she makes a grand entrance... her shows are all about grand entrances, over and over.)
But sometimes the changes in between sections are so long, that there's an interlude. During this time you are entertained without even the attempt to make you think it's a regular number. Sometimes it's the dancers going crazy, hanging from ribbons, or fighting eachother, or skateboarding. Or sometimes there's video interludes.

And that's what happened with the whole John McCain thing.

At one point in the Sticky and Sweet show, while the real Madonna is backstage getting B12 injections and changing her clothes, having bleeding edge LED screens delivered via nanotechnology you can't buy yet, video Madonna out on stage. She looks really cool and has a monocle, and is wagging her finger at us. She's a visitor from a future Apple commercial or something, demanding we think carefully about the choices we make today. Look, there's Hitler, and dead people, and.... John McCain! (And I think Mitt Romney, guess they didn't Sarah Palin coming)

So anyway, yeah. John McCain got mad, even though she doesn't really compare them exactly. But what everybody needs to understand is what this is really about: Madonna had to change her clothes. Duh.
