#211. Border Line

People ask me everyday, "Saf, what's your favorite Madonna song?"  And I always give the same reply. "Borderline bitches."  

Madonna's played the Civic Arena back in 1985.  Her return to the Burgh would come 27 years later in 2012.  Twas the night of the Obama/Romney presidential election.  She came on stage at 10:45pm and the concert didn't end until well into the wee hours of November 7.  I was not in attendance but I think it would have been comical to hear the incessant complaints from the crowd.  Picture the myriad of gay men and drag queens preparing for the greatest night of their life.  Not to mention the thrice divorcees who shelled out hundreds, and even thousands, of dollars for tickets, limos, Zima, etc.  

The weather was predictably cold that night so I imagine many headed inside when the gates first opened at 6:30pm.     

"Where is she?"  

"Where's Madonna?"  

"What's taking so long?"

Then, I'm sure the crowd progressively grew more irritated and agitated.  

"I don't understand what's taking so long!"

"What the fuck is going?!?"

"Where the fuck is the Material Girl?!?"

"Inseminate the virgin!"  "Sacrifice the virgin!"

I realize that I'm generally regarded as a somewhat demented individual... but I just think the unusual, all-encompassing dynamic in the arena that evening would have made for some stellar entertainment.  But that's just me.  

Not as good as this but you get my drift.

Makes me wonder if those two consult with each other before their photo-ops.  Specifically regarding the degree of chest hair exposure.

Fucking Donald Trump hated when you took a knee
He said lock them up as prisoners
And baby, throw away the key
He liked to play the part
Didn’t have a heart
Cross a river hope they drown

The seeds of division show
Move like escargot
Really feels like ground and pound
A comprehensive plan
They need a helping hand
Nothing ever comes for free

Border line
Immigration should not be a crime
It’s all about pushing the drugs over the border line
Border line
Immigration should not be a crime
It’s all about pushing the drugs over the border line

Fucking Donald Trump is sayin’ nuthin’ comes for free
As he likes to cause great harm
Malicious for us all to see
And then he comes to town
As we drink and drown
End up in the lost and found
Don’t tell me where to stay
Life in disarray
The choice it never went my way

A comprehensive plan
They need a helping hand
Nothing ever comes for free

Border line
Immigration should not be a crime
It’s all about pushing the drugs over the border line
Border line
Immigration should not be a crime
It’s all about pushing the drugs over the border line
Keep pushing drugs, keep pushing drugs
Keep pushing the drugs, c'mon baby, c'mon darling, yeah
Keep on pushing the drugs over the border line, border line

Borderline
Madonna

Something in the way you love me won't let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner
So baby, won't you set me free?
Stop playing with my heart
Finish what you start
When you make my love come down

If you want me, let me know
Baby, let it show
Honey, don't you fool around
Just try to understand
I've given all I can
'Cause you got the best of me

Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms
You love me till I just can't see
But then you let me down
When I look around
Baby, you just can't be found
Stop driving me away
I just wanna stay
There's something I just got to say

Just try to understand
I've given all I can
'Cause you got the best of me

Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
Keep pushing me, keep pushing me
Keep pushing my love, c'mon baby, c'mon darling, yeah
Keep on pushing my love over the borderline, borderline

Will I ever get to see Madonna live in concert?  Doubtful.  Will I be able to cope with this definitive outcome?  Assuredly.

Please do not share this information with Madonna, the Biden administration, and/or immigrants from along the Southern border.
