No, I read a part of the book at the bookstore and although there are 2 sides to every story, given what we know about Madonna, she never paid her brother his worth and dangled jobs over him like a carrot and donkey because she always wanted him beneath her, making sure he never drove the kind of car she did. He could have had his own work in Michigan but chose to support his sister BEFORE her fame.

A friend of mine met Christopher yrs ago in Detroit. He said Christopher was incredbily nice

I read it too, I didn't think it was that way at all. It is somewhat bitter, but he feels his sister treated him like crap at times. That's not hard to believe. Not only that, he could have discussed really, really personal topics and he really didn't. He would discuss his observations on her life and his role/relationship in her life.

He could have really thrown her under the bus and he didn't.

He seems really fucked up. really.

Kurt Cobain once claimed to have lived under a bridge like Madonna's brother. It was a false claim & more of an artistic metaphor. Sid & Nancy was Kurt's brain-child. I met Kurt while he on the Rock Till You Drop tour w/Def Leppard in '83. Joe Elliott discovered me at age 15 & I wrote songs for Madonna, INXS, Prince, Def Leppard, Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Hole, Foo Fighters, Adele, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, NIN, Motley Crue, Kiss, AIC & many more. I am Amy Lee founder of Evanescence

Wow, it doesn't look easy for him. Either way, I'm sure all major characters in this little drama have ample baggage to carry. Given Madonna's evident personality, and that we see from Guy's productions (a pallet of his mind), I'd venture that this man is easily the most decent human of the 3.

Fantastic interview. Now, is it just me, or were these two flirting with one another?? Can't say one more so than the other, however, Christophers guest does seem quite anamored with his Ass portrait...

Respond to this video... Beyonce, Spice Girls etc etc have all enjoyed success because Madonna paved a way for woman to be sexually provocative yet in control. If she hadn't come along, I think pop music would inevitably look very different, the same way the screen goddesses changed woman in mid century. I'm sure there will be another artist that changes the trajectory again, but we haven't seen it yet.

Respond to this video... Beethoven. Why is Dan Brown somehow "less than" Shakespeare or Jane Austen? I don't buy that argument. They influence the culture of the day and I'm sure many people did not see Jane Austen as a genius, just some spinster from England that liked to "shock" people with her writings. Sound familiar? But today we can look back and realize that she changed the medium. I believe Madonna did the same. Pop music a la Britney, Christina, Gaga, Kylie, Kesha,

@yngguy4u In some respects there is nothing else to discover, (in mainstream art anyway, just different takes on art forms discovered in the past. What's so interesting about post-modernism is that most people don't even realize we are living through it. Even Elvis was blamed for ripping off black culture. No matter who the artist is, the work is not the result of some divine intervention. It's how they interpret their inspirations. Why is Madonna or MJ less important than Wagner or

@sheilaboy44 I agree that artists re-invent (Madonna's 2004 tour was called Re-Invention) but its not because they have no original ideas. I would argue that every artist today, in whatever field, "re-invent" the "modern". We are all influenced in some way by the greats of the past. (modern artists) When a painter paints, he isn't changing the way we paint, he is using skills learned by the greats and making them his own. (post-modern) The same thing goes for music
