The Confessions On The Middle East Tour
When she's not replacing the cracked mirrored tiles on her disco crucifix, Madonna is trying to make a political statement about something, anything, that's more controversial than she's trying so hard to be. This week it's the Hezbollah-Israeli conflict.
So how does Madonna tackle such a thorny issue? By using whatever's within a 3-foot radius of her, namely, shirtless dancers and grease-paint.
Interpretation: Madonna is the one, disco-y bridge between these two warring factions. She is the only person who can bring them together in peace (also dance).
Or, if you want to read it
Classic Concentration style: IslamMaddonnaIsrael.
But what about this one:
Interpretation: Madonna has clearly faked everyone out and has been on the Islamic side the entire time! She's helped the Arabs defeat the Jews and is now trying to shake off Israel's clingy hand.
So what happens next? Good question:
Interpretation: Madonna has handed the Jews off to the Arabs and walked away, a move that can only be described as "This is your problem now. I've got a disco crucifix to mount–not to mention a dancer who doesn't symbolize an entire warring nation."
Interpretation: Horsey, horsey, horsey!
