There’s something about performers of all varieties that decide to age gracefully. Eventually, everyone who performs has to understand that some things just don’t make much sense for a person of a certain age to be doing.
It’s like that meme with the old man pretending to be a teen going “How do you do, fellow kids”, there are some things that you see folks doing that just make you shake your head and wonder why they are still even doing it.
Take Madonna for example. Now, back in the 80s and 90s, it made sense even if you didn’t agree with her personal choices that she was dancing around the way she was on stage and in her music videos.
Watching her doing some of the stuff she is doing now is just getting sad. It’s like someone trying to rekindle their better days but they don’t exactly have the tools for it. I’m not even gonna get into the epic amount of plastic surgery that she has had over the years.
Sometimes trying to do stuff you used to be able to do just doesn’t work anymore. At a concert recently, Madonna was performing and in the middle of one of her songs fell completely flat on her behind off of a chair.
Now, not every sixty-five-year-old woman is going to fall caboose first onto a chair.
NEW: 65-year-old Madonna falls out of her chair on stage during a performance at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.
Maybe having a man in high heels dragging you in a chair on stage wasn’t a good idea?
Madonna was singing “Open Your Heart” during the mishap.

Maybe it was the fact that a guy wearing high-heeled shoes was trying to move her across the stage like it was still 1985. Maybe she’s still recovering from whatever her latest medical issue happened to be.
The point is, you only have so many falls that you can take in life, and at her age, the number must be getting low.
I mean, Madonna could probably still make millions of dollars a year performing by just going out there, not dressing like the fishnet factory exploded and people would still come out to see her. Speaking objectively, she does have a good voice.
If only she would take the high road instead of trying to dress like a senior citizen streetwalker people wouldn’t be laughing at her nearly as much as they are now.
There comes a time when you have to slow down. Every person that was ever great at something eventually realized that they weren’t as good as they thought they were anymore.
It’s a shame that she can’t take the talents she still has instead of trying to beat a dead horse.
