Madonna Justifying Herself

Monday, Jan. 07, 1991

    • I liked reading about Madonna and the controversy over her new music video, Justify My Love ((PEOPLE, Dec. 17)). What Madonna has is Spirit, with a capital S. She ignores her critics and does what she wants, living her life to the max and relishing every moment of it. She need not apologize for this. Most people would do the same if they had the courage. As for me, I am going to buy a VCR so I can enjoy her video. Don Fein Los Angeles

    Madonna's moneymaking ability does not come from her talent but from her sensationalism. The secret is in her marketing. Arouse the curiosity of the public and it will watch a lot of things -- once. Lorraine Collins Andrews, Texas
