..I remember when my room was covered in David Bowie posters and my dad wasn't very impressed at all...there was the whole 'bisexual' thing going..how risqué....anyway I never wanted to live my life like Bowie in anyway or thought of him as a 'role model' as such but there was a lot of things about him that I admired apart from his music and the 'show' which were his complete stage performances...Madonna has always been controversial in many ways, from even her name to how she dresses/acts etc and especially in her live performances..but I haven't in my experience seen any of that 'controversy' or in disrespect in any way from her fans...I just don't personally think that fans take a literal or active meaning from everything their 'idols' do or wear but just take elements of inspiration from their music and them as people...anyway, that's just my opinion and her parents/family/friends seem very supportive of the direction of her career so I'm not really going to judge any differently..if it all turns out to be the wrong decisions for her then they will all have to deal with that....
