SIRIUS Artiste

Cicc' with Flick.

A live Madonna interview by Larry Flick from SIRIUS today. During this rare live radio chat, Madonna plugs her Confessions Tour CD/DVD, noting, "I underestimated the impact it would have on my life." She jokes that the only downside to actually seeing her fans up close (thanks to a gigantic catawalk) was "a few times guys in suits or guys with white button-down shirts and pencils in their pockets with their arms folded...sometimes [their] staring at me without smiling made me think that, like, I was being watched by Big Brother or somebody from the CIA was there to, like, make sure that my behavior was not counterrevolutionary or something, you know what I mean? I only got scared by people who looked like they weren't having a good time."

In music news, the ever-charming Larry Flick drops the ball by not following up when Madonna notes she's been composing songs on her guitar "right now" and says of his desire to hear a balls-out rock album from her, "I'll go downstairs and tell Pharrell that right now...I could see that as a future incarnation." Fave jams of late include Gnarls Barkley (oh, Madonna...no) and "Justin Timberlake's album [FutureSex/LoveSounds]...that's my favorite record to work out to. I didn't like it when I first heard it. I was like, 'This is wack, I don't like this, blah blah blah,' then someone played it at a party...It just goes to show you that you can't listen to a record just once."

Best part is when Flick asks the following $64,000 question:

Madonna's gay soulmate, the late Martin Burgoyne.

SIRIUS: Why do you think gay people love you so much, Madonna? Madonna: Oh, God, everybody asks me that...

Well, ’cause I have my own personal theory...
Oh, share.

Well ’cause I think, I think, I think you're a big old queen yourself.
Well, there's that theory, there's that theory.

’Cause you're kinda girlie like a queen, but you're also...
But I'm kinda tough like a guy?

But you're a top. You're a top.
Definitely, definitely.

You're definitely not a bottom.
Nooo! Don't tell that to my husband.

Okay!
[Lots of laughter]
Yeah, I don't know, I just think, you know, it's like gay men are sort of like perfect men for, for girls who are tough, because they're not threatened by strong women and they're, you know, usually very in touch with their feelings and pay attention to details and, um...I don't know, I've just always had an affinity with gay men and, you know, sometimes if I analyze it and say what it is then I, then I go, 'No, that's not totally, entirely the reason.

Fabulously, the interview ends with Madonna declaring, "I wanna be like Gandhi and Martin Luther King and John Lennon—but I wanna stay alive," and with Flick somehow persuading Madonna to be either a pretty clove of broccoli or a delicious brownie on his plate. Oh, Larry...very Barbara Walters! Great, fun interview and she sounds as Michigan as she's sounded since the day she spent mugging for the camera with friends at Boblo Island.
