The cover shot is Madonna with like wearing a long sleeved white sort of like a suit dress, but like with the big bow at the front.

And she's got that teased really like 80s hair.

She looks like she's from like an old school.

school soap opera, like a dynasty or something like that, with police in the background.

And she's like crawling on the floor.

She looks almost like an alien creature, the way she's got her arms like jutted out.

Again, I love that.

It's not like a, here's a pretty face shot of me that so many mags do now.

It's like taking a bit of a risk.

Interesting.

So, yeah, the cover's amazing.

So, yeah, they shot it late at night in London, outskirts of the town, just slamming Prosecco, big hair, blasting the Rolling Stones, exactly the kind of... That's the way to do it.

Yeah, and apparently Madonna was the one leading it.

She was like, this is how you do a photo shoot.

And, like, that's correct.

And then Mel said the next night he went to her...

home for round two, which is a 90 minute conversation, to hear about her upcoming album, which is Confessions on the Dance Floor Part Two, and also just to really get into everything.

And they kind of do, because the fun thing about an interview magazine interview is it's not one of those kind of crafted magazine interviews where, and I do like these as well, like there's a place for both, where the journalist goes and spends time with the person, talks to a bunch of their friends, and then like almost writes a recap of like-

Yeah, like how it was to meet them, what they were wearing, what they were doing.

It's literally just a straight transcript of a conversation.
