Madge Mystery of the Month How will Nathaniel, who is currently without a proper corporate job and earning pennies on the web, afford M-Dolla prices for "Sticky & Sweet Tour".

Nowhere near as marvelous as Confessions or as interesting as hated/underrated American Life. High points --I happily gorge on: Candy Shop, Give it 2 Me and 4 Minutes. Still taste testing: Beat Goes On, She's Not Me and the rest. Nadir: Incredible. blech......I'm never putting that in my mouth again.
