Do you know some good podcasts about women’s football, especially some with player interviews etc?

Ali Riley's 'Girls with Balls' podcast is excellent - each episode she talks to a different player (or players) about their career, life, relationships, what they think of the state of women's football, etc. etc.

She's a fantastic host/interviewer and they're all really great. So far she has interviewed:

Caroline Seger

Anja Mittag

Anita Asante

Hannah Wilkinson

Erin Cuthbert

Ramona Bachmann

Rosie White

Magdalena Eriksson & Pernille Harder

Fran Kirby

Abby Erceg

The Arsenal Women Arsecast - a reasonably new podcast hosted by Tim Stillman and (more recently) Pippa Monique all about Arsenal WFC. They talk about the season/players/the club's history and interview the players/staff/former players. Interviews so far have included:

Leah Williamson

Tabea Kemme

Louise Quinn

Katie McCabe

Joe Montemurro

Faye White

Kelly Smith

This week a new episode is dropping, previewing the Emirates Cup games vs Bayern Munich and including an interview with new signing Manuela Zinsberger.

Rethink Podcast, hosted by the Utah Royals' Erik's Tymrak and Rachel Corsie (Corsie is also the Captain of the Scottish WNT). Really great podcast that marries some at times serious topics with a lot of fun and some great stories about life on the road/being a professional footballer. They've also had some other players/staff on:

Haley Kopmeyer

Assistant coach Scott Parkinson

Real Salt Lake player Nedum Onuoha

Taylor Lytle

Enjoy!

If anyone has any other good suggestions for podcasts with player interviews etc please do add them on!

Song Review: Jack Tempchin: “Part of Me, Part of You”

Outside of Don Henley, no one wrote more songs with Glenn Frey than Jack Tempchin.

Tempchin is responsible for Eagles’ smashes including “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and “Already Gone” and later co-wrote, with Frey, many solo hits for the late Eagles frontman including “Smuggler’s Blues,” “You Belong to the City” and “Part of Me, Part of You,” which appeared the film “Thelma & Louise.”

The latter is the first single from Tempchin’s forthcoming album-length tribute to Frey, Peaceful Easy Feeling. It worked as a buddy song in in the movie. It also worked as a love song independent of the film. And, recast as a maudlin, acoustic ballad with a smattering of electric bass notes sprinkled throughout, it works as a pean to a departed friend. 

I hear it when I stand beside the river/I see it when I look up in the sky/I feel it when I hear that lonesome highway/so many miles to go before I die, Tempchin sings in his distinctive baritone.

Tempchin’s is the second tribute to Frey, who died last January at 67, to come out this week, following Bob Seger’s “Glenn Song,” which Sound Bites reviews here: http://krispyweiss.tumblr.com/post/156048651558/song-review-bob-seger-glenn-song-chiseled

Peaceful Easy Feeling is tentatively scheduled for release in March.

PROM NIGHT 4: DELIVER US FROM EVIL 1992 Suspense/Horror #12 of 500 This film veers hard away from the campy Freddy Krueger meets Carrie mash up involving Mary Lou Maloney, and dives into completely humor devoid, crazed Catholic priest kills horny teenager territory. The film itself revolves around four teenagers who decide to completely forgo their high school prom, and instead spend the evening in a mostly abandoned summer home. Vaguely PG-13 debauchery ensues, but is quickly sidetracked by the presence of a priest hell-bent on dispatching the overly hormonal sinners in the name of “his Lord“. The fun and gore of the original three films is completely missing from this fourth installment. Had the films creators kept true to the material, and added a little more humor, gore, or gratuitous nudity, this film might’ve been possible. Instead what you have is a painfully slow suspense film mostly devoid of any of the elements synonymous with the horror films of the 80s and early 90s 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 J H Wyman - Mark Nicole De Boer - Megan Joy Tanner – Laura James Carver – Jonas Alle Gahdban - Jeff Brock Simpson - Father Colin Kenneth McGregor - Père Jaeger Krista Bulmer – Lisa Fab Filippo - Jonathan Thea Andrews – Louise Ray Seger – Rafe Carolyn Tweedle – Sister Jude Deni DeLory - Jennifer Phillip Morris – Brad #500filmchallenge #promnight4deliverusfromevil #nicoledeboer #jhwyman #joytanner #suspensemovie #horrormovie #horror #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcasts #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife (at Haverhill, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccosu4csbZx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

https://centresuiteinn.com ไอร์แลนด์ไม่กลัวความล้มเหลว ยืนยัน เวรา เพาว์ ก่อนเผชิญหน้าสวีเดน

Vera Pauw บอกฝ่ายสาธารณรัฐไอร์แลนด์ของเธอว่า “ไม่ต้องกลัวความล้มเหลว” เนื่องจากพวกเขาต้องเผชิญกับงานที่ยากที่สุดในฟุตบอลยุโรปด้วยการต่อสู้ที่บ้านเพื่อทีมที่ดีที่สุดอันดับสองของโลก

Pด้าน AUW จะหวังที่จะนำอยู่เบื้องหลังพวกเขาสิ้นสุดยากจนแชมป์ยุโรปแคมเปญที่มีคุณสมบัติของพวกเขาที่ด้านไอริชจบที่สามและทำให้แทงดีที่มีคุณสมบัติสำหรับ 2023 รอบชิงชนะเลิศฟุตบอลโลก

แม้ว่ารายการประจำซึ่งเห็นผู้ผ่านเข้���รอบเปิดการแข่งขันในจอร์เจียถูกเลื่อนออกไปเนื่องจากเหตุผลที่เกี่ยวข้องกับโควิด และจากนั้นก็บังคับให้ไอร์แลนด์เริ่มแข่งกับชาวสวีเดนที่มีคะแนนสูงทำให้พวกเขาไม่ได้รับความโปรดปราน

ฝูงชนที่ขายหมดในสนามกีฬา Tallaght ซึ่งเป็นเกมที่เล่นเพียงไม่กี่ชั่วโมงก่อนที่ความจุสูงสุด 50 เปอร์เซ็นต์สำหรับกิจกรรมกลางแจ้งจะถูกยกขึ้นสามารถจัดเป็นมาสเตอร์คลาสโดยชาวสวีเดนได้ แต่ Pauw กล่าวว่าฝ่ายของเธอต้องเตรียมพร้อม

“เราไม่กลัว เราไม่กลัวความล้มเหลว และเราจะได้เห็นสิ่งที่เราสามารถทำได้ในคืนนี้ แต่ฉันต้องพูดตามตรง สวีเดนเป็นอันดับสองของโลกและเป็นอีกระดับหนึ่ง” เปายอมรับ เกมนี้คืนนี้ การทดสอบสถานะของไอร์แลนด์อย่างเข้มงวดก่อนการปะทะที่ฟินแลนด์ในวันอังคาร

“เราเล่นทีละเกม คืนนี้เรามีเกมใหญ่ อาจเป็นเกมระดับสูงสุดเท่าที่เคยมีมา เราโฟกัสไปที่สิ่งนั้นและดูแลฟินแลนด์หลังจากนั้น” พวกเขามีผู้เล่นชั้นยอด 11 คนจากระดับแชมเปี้ยนส์ลีก/โอลิมปิก/ฟุตบอลโลกในสนาม เรารู้ว่าเราจะเผชิญอะไร ให้จริงเถอะ สวีเดนจะผลักเรากลับ

“มันวิเศษมากที่ได้เล่นกับฝ่ายตรงข้าม เรารักมัน เรามีทีมที่ไม่กลัวความล้มเหลว แต่เรามีความสมจริงในจุดที่เรายืนอยู่ เราอยู่ในรายชื่อ 33 อันดับแรก สวีเดนเป็นที่สอง ผู้เข้ารอบสุดท้ายในการแข่งขันกีฬาโอลิมปิก” ชาวดัตช์กล่าวเสริม

ในขณะเดียวกัน Niamh Fahey เชื่อว่าแม้การหายตัวไปจากอาการบาดเจ็บของผู้ทำประตูสูงสุดของสวีเดน Kosovare Asllani ของ Real Madrid (39 ประตูในทีมชาติ) ก็ไม่ให้ความช่วยเหลือเหมือนผู้หญิงที่ใส่รองเท้าบู๊ตของเธอและกัปตัน Caroline Seger ที่ขาดหายไป (ซึ่งทำคะแนนได้เพียง 31 ประตูจาก กองกลาง) ก็ดีเหมือนกัน

เมื่อถูกขอให้เลือกผู้หญิงที่อันตรายในไอร์แลนด์ Fahey ตอบอย่างตรงไปตรงมาว่า “ทั้งหมด”

“มีเป้าหมายอยู่ทุกหนทุกแห่ง เราดูพวกเขาแล้ว เรารู้ว่าพวกเขามีคุณภาพ และมันจะไม่ยุติธรรมที่จะกำหนดเป้าหมายเมื่อมีจำนวนมาก” เซ็นเตอร์แบ็คของลิเวอร์พูลกล่าว ปิดท้ายด้วยการลงเล่นครบ 100 นัด

“ความแข็งแกร่งในเชิงลึกในทีมของพวกเขานั้นใหญ่มาก และฉันมั่นใจว่าสวีเดนค่อนข้างมั่นใจหากไม่มีผู้เล่นเหล่านั้น แม้จะมีรูปร่างของผู้เล่นเหล่านั้นก็ตาม

“พวกเขาอยู่ในอันดับที่ 2 ของโลก ดังนั้นหากเราทำสิ่งที่คิดไม่ถึงได้ มันจะเป็นหนึ่งในผลงานที่ยิ่งใหญ่ที่สุดที่เคยมีมาในฟุตบอลไอริช นั่นคือสิ่งที่เดิมพัน

“พวกเขามีคุณภาพแย่มากใน XI เริ่มต้นของพวกเขา ในทีมทั้งหมดมันเป็นโอกาสที่น่ากลัวและเราตระหนักดี แต่ในฐานะผู้เล่นนี่คือสิ่งที่คุณต้องการทำเพื่อทดสอบตัวเองกับสิ่งที่ดีที่สุดในโลก และนั่นคือสิ่งที่สวีเดนอยู่ มันเป็นโอกาสที่น่าตื่นเต้นสำหรับผู้เล่นทุกคน”

Fahey เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของทีมที่พ่ายแพ้ในช่วงเจ็ดเกม แต่มนต์จากผู้จัดการ Vera Pauw ในเวลานั้น – ฝ่ายไอริชจำเป็นต้องทดสอบตัวเองในเกมกระชับมิตรกับฝ่ายตรงข้ามที่ดีแทนที่จะเอาชนะ minnows ได้อย่างง่ายดาย – สามารถยืนได้ ในการทดสอบข้างหน้า ที่บ้านกับชาวสวีเดน และออกไปฟินแลนด์

“คุณเรียนรู้มากขึ้นในความพ่ายแพ้มากกว่าที่คุณทำในชัยชนะ คุณเรียนรู้มากมายเกี่ยวกั��ทีมจากความพ่ายแพ้ ความยืดหยุ่น เราได้เรียนรู้มากมายในเกมกับฝ่ายตรงข้ามคุณภาพสูง และนั่นจะทำให้เราอยู่ในตำแหน่งที่ดี ทุกส่วน ของการพัฒนาของเราและเป็นเกมที่มีประโยชน์จริงๆ สำหรับเรา” Fahey กล่าวเสริม

Pauw จะพิจารณาการป้องกันตัวของ Fahey, Louise Quinn และ Savannah McCarthy ที่มีประสบการณ์ซึ่งมีแคป 187 แคประหว่างพวกเขา เพื่อสกัดกั้นฝ่ายสวีเดนที่ได้รับความช่วยเหลือจากทหารผ่านศึก Aine O'Gorman และ Katie McCabe

FoZ Notes 5

Aaand here's an owl delivering a letter. HARRY POTTER. [Future note: Eventually the Harry Potter-isms fade away. It... takes a while, and I don’t think it actually improves the story, given what we shift toward instead]

Louise has reddish-brown eyes.

She is hyper-incompetent at social stealth, though I have trouble taking it as a serious trait given the context. [Reader note: Louise is supposed to be pretending to be a commoner. She is failing, and it’s being played for laughs]

Saito is homophobic, too. Yaaaay.

I'm still not clear what Louise's "mission" is. Something about "gathering intelligence"?... [Reader note: Eventually I worked out that Louise is supposed to be listening to commoners to use the gossip network to gauge public opinion on Henrietta. The story is pretty terrible about explaining this, or at least the translation is]

Where the fuck was she keeping the writ? [Reader note: The piece of paper that says she answers directly to Henrietta]

The Practical Doctrine, a book by Protestants. Protestants are a movement of the common people to take power back from the Church. [Future note: Even though we keep hearing -I haven’t been making notes, but it’s constantly cropping up- about how commoners hate nobles/people in charge in general, this particular book and Protestants in general aren’t relevant past this volume]

... and here's Guiche indicating Tabitha and Kirche WEREN'T friends in the first year. Consistency! [Future note: It gets worse]

Kirche fled Germania to avoid marrying someone "old". (Japan: not necessarily old) So where does she get her money from?... [Future note: Never answered, and if I recall correctly the story outright forgets she’s on the outs with her family]

Suen, Iyer, Seger. Three "saints" that apparently provide the names for the school's House system equivalent. [Future note: This Harry Potter-ism never crops up ever again. And yes I know Harry Potter is just doing a British school thing with the Houses, but I’m pretty sure FoZ is fanboying Harry Potter]

Tabitha refused to provide a family name, and so the rumor was she was a bastard.

Flight and Levitate are two different spells?? Both basic to wind. [Reader note: Oh, right, we do get Levitate established as a wind spell. I stand by my prior assertion that ‘Louise casting common spells’ stops being a thing]

Sparring: dueling, without trying to kill people. Stealing their wand is considered the best way to win. [Future note: This distinction and bit of culture fails to return when scenes that ought to involve it occur later]

The story seems to consider ice to fall under Wind.

Blah blah naked Kirche and people trying to make Kirche and Tabitha hate each other. [Reader note: I think this was in a flashback to their first year? It’s been a while]

Kirche has received "considerable" military training to make her chant faster. Supposedly. [Future note: One more detail that never crops up again, both in regards to Kirche in specific and in regards to ‘military chant training’ in general]

Through means not at all specified, Kirche and Tabitha are able to identify the strength of the mage casting a spell through the impact of the spell. Suuurre...

Due to the repeated failings of the Magic Guard, including Wardes' betrayal, being butchered by Zombie Wales, etc, Henrietta established the Musketeer Corps, an all-female non-noble/magical bodyguard force. We're told Henrietta doesn't trust mages anymore, which... um?... [Future note: The mistrust for mages thing gets played up for this volume and, if I recall correctly, the next one, and then goes away entirely. It’s an idiotic plotpoint so I don’t miss it, but it’s still yet another thing the story can’t keep straight]

Agnes is the head of the Musketeer Corps, and was made a Chevalier and given a family name because of cultural norms that would've made such a prestigious position unnatural to have a commoner in. [Thought: Chevalier is supposed to be given as a reward for tremendous valiance. This means Henrietta is breaking one social more in an attempt to get people to shut up about a different one. If this were a different story, I’d credit the author with clever and subtle evidence that Henrietta is kind of shit at this ‘queen’ thing. Since this is FoZ, I’m just going to note it down as an interesting thought]

Henrietta is afraid of rain, in spite of being a Water affinity... aaafter the thing with Wales. [Future note: Say it with me, children. That’s right, this never crops up again]

Henrietta hiding/pretending to be kidnapped in an attempt to draw out an Albion spy. Her Musketeers are in on it, no one else is.

Richmond is a traitor, and some kind of royal lawguy. He also has got the actors of a local play to be mage soldiers somehow? How do you successfully hide having nobles/ex-nobles working as actors?...

I mean, it's cool that the Musketeer Corps gets used to turn the trap on Richmond, but. Really? [Reader note: The Musketeer Corps makes up the women in the audience, surprise! Because Japan is all about improbable double-predictions like this]

Oh, and Richmond gets away because for no imaginable reason the Musketeers don't do shit to stop him from moving after he's pulled a fucking knife. Oh, and of course he's fantasizing about raping and murdering Henrietta. Japan. Why?

Pre-prepared spells can be "released"?

Agnes is the survivor of a village butchered through Richmond being paid by Romalia to kill Protestants. [Reader note: She kills Richmond here, since that’s not the intuitive thing to guess from my notes] She's also sufficiently comfortable with her hetero woman Bro-ness to pretend to be a man kissing a woman and even bring it up in public as something funny. [Future note: Agnes is great here. It doesn’t last]

End volume 5.

--------

Louise listening in to the common people, culminating in Henrietta's plot dealing with an Albion spy. That's about it. Also Louise sending the info to Henrietta via an owl off-screen, because Harry Potter. [Reader note: Yeah, I didn’t bother to note that down. You can tell the story is starting to lose me, and these notes are primarily for the purposes of writing divergent fanfic anyway, so I don’t care overly much about events that are unlikely to recur anyway. People familiar with FoZ canon might notice I don’t even talk about Scarron, his stupid inn, and his daughter, even though 70% of the volume is spent under his inn’s roof. Why? Because it’s extremely difficult to imagine a fanfic having any actual reason to touch upon them, and the whole thing is offensive and stupid. Of course it later turns out Scarron is a relative of Siesta, so I was wrong as it happens, but whatever. Just for completeness’ sake: Scarron wears a magic bustier for reasons of family tradition I don’t remember or care about, and acts very effeminate/gay in a stereotypical-by-western-standards way, while his daughter Jessica has... no particular personality I recall. She probably has some, but I mostly remember her being used as ‘women hitting on Saito’ and ‘people telling Louis Saito is hot and being baffled as to why she isn’t hitting that’]

Women in Rock Madonna: ‘BOY TOY’ IMAGE

by JONATHAN TAKIFF

Many people are as entranced by Madonna’s tawdry look and brazen ‘come hither’ body movements as they are by her pinched, girlish vocals and percolating disco pop music. Maybe even more intrgued by the physical distractions.

This should not really come as a surprise. Fashion now rules a large hunk of pop culture - in music, art, film, clothing - and artful substance has become a secondary consideration. And whenever cheap thrills are what really matters to the average teenage record buyer, then a girl with ratty hair, naughty clothes, loud jewelry and an enticing exposed belly button is certainly going to create more of a stir than a subtle songstress who dresses conservatively, like everyone else.

But will they love Madonna tomorrow? Can she outlive her “Boy Toy” image, her penchant for posing in lacey undergarments (preferably on a messed up bed), and her musical catalog stressing close encounters of the sexual kind?

Or will she eventually be rejected as a cheap hussy - the kind of girl that boys love to grapple with after the high school dance, but never take home to meet mom?

It’s certainly significant that the nominations committee for this year’s Grammy Awards ignored Madonna completely, even though her debut album, “Madonna,” and follow-up LP, “Like a Virgin,” have clung tenaciously to the top of the charts for an entire year (Making her second only to Prince in importance at Warner Brothers Records). Ordinarily, the Grammys are a celebration and endorsement of just such success.

Could it be something this damsel wore in her R-rated videos - all those crucifixes dangling from her ears and between her legs, perhaps - that put off the Grammy crowd? Blasphemous stuff!

Or maybe they’ve misread the message of, ah, pure romance inherent in her lyrics: “They can beg and they can plead/But they can’t see the light, that’s right/’Cause the boy with the cold hard cash/Is always Mister Right.” 

And let’s not overlook her recent No.1 celebration of, um, reborn innocence: “I was beat/Incomplete/I’d been had, I was sad and blue/But you made me feel/Yeah, you made me feel/Shiny and new/Like a virgin/Touched for the very first time/Like a Virgin/When your heart beats next to mine.”

What kind of temperament breeds such a talent?

“From the start I was a very bad girl,” brags 24-year-old Madonna Louise Ciccone, the eldest daughter in a family of six. “I was always in touch with my sexual side.”

Born on Detroit’s tough West Side, Madonna was all of 6 when her mother (also named Madonna) died of cancer, forcing the little girl to grow up fast. “I really felt like I was the main female of the house. There was no woman between my father and me, no mother,” she recalls.

Life turned even weirder when Madonna was 8 and her father, a Chrysler engineer, announced that he was going to marry the family’s housekeeper. “It was hard to accept her as an authority figure and also accept her as being the new No.1 female in my father’s life. My father wanted us to call her mom, not her first name. I remember it being really hard for me to get the word ‘mother’ out of my mouth. It was really painful. I hated the fact that my mother was taken away and I’m sure I took a lot of that out on my stepmother.”

Madonna says she gew loud and aggressive to get attention among all her brothers and sisters, and always had “this thing” about nuns and crucifixes. “I went to three Catholic schools as a child with uniforms and nuns hitting you over the back with staplers. I lived in a real intergrated neighborhood. We were one of the only white families there.” Later, Madonna’s large family moved to Pontiac, Mich., where she lived next to Bob Seger and attended Pontiac Catholic High School.

Her father didn’t believe in leisure time: he always wanted her to be doing homework or reading the Bible. Madonna rebelled by throwing herself into the world of the fantastic. In eighth grade, she appeared in her first movie, a Super 8 project directed by a classmate, in which an egg was fried on her stomach. (That belly was obviously hot stuff, even then!) She acted in plays, studied piano, loved movies, danced to Motown hits in backyards, and finally let dance become the central focus of her adolescent life. She’d take all her school classes early so she could take dance classes in the afternoon. Then at night her ballet teacher served as her “introduction” to glamour and sophistication. “He used to take me to all the gay discotheques in downtown Detroit. Men were doing poppers and going crazy. They were all dressed really well and were more free about themselves than all the blockhead football players I met in high school.”

Madonna won a dance scholarship to the University of Michigan, then quit after a year to take on the real world. “I moved to New York in ‘78. I was only 17, I had $35 in my pocket and knew no one. I told the taxi driver to take me to the middle of everything. I was let off in Times Square.”

Madonna won a work-study scholarship with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s third troupe - the farm team. “Still, I thought I was in a production of ‘Fame’,” she recalls with a laugh. “Everyone was Hispanic or black, and everyone wanted to be a star.”

But they couldn’t keep this ambitious girl down on the farm for long. Through Ailey, Madonna met Pearl Lange, long the lead soloist for the famed Martha Graham troupe, who taught her the modern Graham technique. Madonna later worked as a Lange’s assistant. “It was interesting work. The style is very archiac, angular and dramatic. Painful, dark and guilt-ridden; very Catholic.....I was always an outcast in my ballet classes, the freak. I didn’t have long hair pulled back in a bun. Mine was short, and I used to dye it different colors.

“I would rip my leotards all the way up to my chest and then safety-pin them all the way down. I couldn’t stand all those horrible little ballerinas who hadn’t seen anything of the world except for their dance classes. They came from really rich families and bored me.”

Not willing to wait for her big break in serious dance, Madonna started going to musical theatre auditions. Catching the attention of French disco singer Patrick Hernandez’s management, she was asked to join his show, and was promised she could be a star, too, with a little guidance. “They took me to Paris and gave me everything: a vocal coach, a dance teacher, an apartment and a chauffuer. They were like the French mafia, very wealthy and had come into even more money through Patrick. They knew I was talented but had no idea what to do with me.”

Eventually tiring of this scene, too, Madonna returned to New York and decided to devote herself to music. Befriended by a rock group called The Breakfast Club, she shared a loft with them in an old Queens Synagogue and, when they went off to work, she taught herself to play instruments using their small home studio. When they needed a drummer, she was ready.

Later came her own band called Emmy (from her nickname). That one broke up over a dispute with her manager, who saw Madonna as a Pat Benatar-like rock belter. She had other ideas.

“I’m proud of the fact that I started out as a rhythm-and-blues-oriented disco singer. It gave me more of an identity. I feel that the pop charts are finally opening up to urban contemporary sounds like Herbie Hancock and all those other people who are making great street records. Detroit has always been hip to it but finally mid-America is hearing it for the first time.”

On her first album, songs like “Borderline,” “Lucky Star” and “Holiday” moved Madonna from disco play to R&B radio and then to Top 40 and MTV. Her second album, produced by Nile Rodgers of Chic, and featuring the same musicians who’ve lately been backing up David Bowie, also has broken her through to rock radio. “It’s more pop-oriented than my first record, more accessible and it shows my growth as an artist and a vocalist,” she assesses.

But can Madonna’s paper-thin vocal sound cut it live, a situation in which voice-thickening echo chamber devices stand out much more obviously, and even the sexiest body moves don’t look like much from 100 yards away? We’ll see this Spring, as Madonna embarks on her first concert tour, featuring equally trendy British gay/political rock group Bronski Beat as special support act.

An acting career is her next burning ambition to fulfill. In 1979, Madonna played the part of a punk in a cheap, psuedo-French art flick. “A Certain Sacrifice.” The film is belatedly going to be released, to cash in on her name recognition, and the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine describes Madonna’s part in the film as “a quasi-dominatrix who has three sex slaves.” But Video Insider editor Steve Apple, who recently screened it, says that “any suggestion this is a porno movie is a lie. There’s a violent scene in which she’s raped, and there’s a half second of frontal, upper torso nudity, but that’s it. The producer of the movie was hoping Madonna’s management would come up with some money to bury the movie, but they won’t even give him a kill fee.”

With her clothes on (sort of), Madonna is currently on view as a nightclub singer in “Visionquest” and soon will be seen in a featured part in the much hyped “Desperately Seeking Susan.”
