Madonna's CRAZY FOR YOU

This song never fails to get me misty. Do you have to be "of a certain generation" for it to have this effect? OY, now THIS USED TO BE MY PLAYGROUND is on...someone collect all the kitchen knives! For some reason, out of nowhere (the miserably cool, cloudy, rainy weather? the fact that tomorrow is my college graduation day, TOO many years ago now?), I've put in M's SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ballad collection from 1995. I SO urge you to acquire this album. It's for those same people who have THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION...ie, those who claim not to be Madonna fans, and can "hide" the truth by "only" having greatest hits packages. I've said it before...as famous as she is, she's wildly underrated as a singer, writer, producer...and BALLADEER. She's as genius with melancholy as she is with dance/pop music. Is LIVE TO TELL not one of the most devastating ballads you've ever heard? Is "devastating" being too hyperbolic? I think NOT. Dammit. And OH, FATHER is priceless. And RAIN and I'LL REMEMBER and TAKE A BOW. I'm done convincing you. I'm gonna go stare longingly out a window and weep now.
