I blame MTV

Madonna must have really been excited when she was inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night, because she completely forgot to fake a British accent. And she called the crowd “motherfuckers” as soon as she got on stage. How rock and roll of her. In her long and illustrious career Madonna has proved that being a mediocre singer and dancer, leeching off of good producers, and stealing Michael Jackson’s manager can get you places. She went on to talk about doing drugs in the 80’s (racy!) and had Iggy Pop do her performance for her.

Also inducted that night was heartland rocker John Melloncamp and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen who wrote that song “Halleiluah” that you secretly like even though you thought Jeff Buckley wrote it. The Ventures and The Dave Clark Five were also inducted, although, to the best of my knowledge, none of them called anybody a motherfucker.
