Goodbye, Prince

I’ve been meaning to write this goodbye post since the day Prince left us for the afterworld that he always dreamed of. You know, the one where you can always see the sun, either day or night. However, life kept surprising me with other sad news, including the loss of my father. I can’t help thinking that my father’s birthday was on April and Prince died in April, and that my father died in June and Prince’s birthday was in June. Life has a twisted sense of humor, indeed.

Happy 53rd birthday, Madonna!

Today marks the 53rd birthday of the one and only Queen of Pop: Madonna. She’s one of my musical goddesses (note to self: write a post about all my musical gods and goddesses), and I always like to remember the birthdays of those musicians and actors whom I admire. Usually, when one of my favorite musicians is having a birthday, I celebrate it by listening to his or her music. Today will be no exception.

For the occasion, I’ve prepared a list of my top 7 favorite songs and videos from Madge. Why top 7? Because I couldn’t choose only 5 wanted to do something different, of course!
