everybody get up and do your thing

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the release of Madonna's first single Everybody.  Thirty freaking years!  And by happy coincidence, yesterday was also at long last the San Jose stop of the MDNA tour.  Therefore, I was there when Madonna sang Everybody for the first (and maybe only) time on this tour.  Amazing!

The concert itself was a pure feast for the senses.  There was just too much to take in.  I wasn't sure which way to look most of the times.  I love those moving blocks that rise up from the main stage floor.  I loved Open Your Heart, Like A Virgin/Love Spent, and Express Yourself/Give Me All Your Luvin' and so on and so on.  The last eight months of waiting since I got the tickets have been like a thousand years.  Sitting there from 7:45 til the 10:30pm starting time was equally torturous. But the two hours that she was on stage went by in a magical flash.  I seriously don't know how the old gal does it.  She reaffirms my faith as a fan over and over. She's earned every success that's come her way in the last thirty years.  Congratulations, Madonna.  Thank goodness your dreams came true, so ours did too.
