Kenny and Mark plunge into 80s Consumerism with the first song from Madonna’s classic “Like a Virgin” album. What makes a song a “Madonna song”? Topics discussed include the reception of irony, Missing Persons, Marilyn Monroe, Kenny’s love of the Second Single, and how live drumming kicks off this new era. They take a deep dive into the iconic 1985 video, including Old Hollywood and the many lost film projects, Keith Carradine, Madonna’s speaking voice, collaborating with Mary Lambert, the great Robert Wuhl, double-dating with Debi Mazar, and the entrance of Sean Penn.
