Hi Nerina. My weekly two hour indie music radio show is 50/50 male female artists. Is this difficult to achieve? Yes, it’s tricky to find good new music by male artists or bands, whereas there is an increasingly dominant supply of good new material from women-led bands, female artists and all-girls bands!

Madonna unfortunately has become a parody of herself, giving in to pressure to continue to look good, when in fact if she had allowed herself to age gracefully and say "yes this is me in all.my glory take it or stick it where the sun doesn't shine", she would have earned a lot more admiration and respect, rather than the ridicule I have read about. Instead of staying true to herself and earning the respect of women of all ages everywhere, she has just become like a lot of other overly vain women, those who feel that they have to maintain a role, which certainly isn't girl power in my book.

I don't think that anyone would say that she has to start wearing fluffy slippers, blue rinses and rwin sets, but there are many older women who are still so naturally beautiful and stylish, without feeling the need to behave in a vulgar way in order to appeal to men, and as a result are more appealing. Madonna has quite frankly gone against everything that she supposedly stands for and sadly it smacks of desperation.
