Yeah, I didn't even mean because she's been in quite a few. More that they have been going through such rough times that it was obviously going to happen eventually.

I really feel for Madonna and her family right now. Divorce is never an easy thing to go through.

Guitar guru helps get Madonna into the groove

Talent, determination, genius. All important qualities if you’re shooting for rock stardom.
And then there’s good, old-fashioned luck.

A few months after rolling into Los Angeles in 1999 in search of rock ’n’ roll glory, Texan Monte Pittman got a call from someone looking for guitar lessons. The guy’s girlfriend had given him a guitar to mess around with while he was laid up after surgery. Teaching someone their first G chord wasn’t Pittman’s end goal, but he didn’t have the bank balance to refuse the extra cash.

In a glorious case of right time, right place, the guy turned out to be Guy Ritchie - the gal, Madonna.

“First she got him a guitar, then he returned the favor, so I ended up teaching them both,” Pittman said. “A few months later Madonna asked me to go on Dave Letterman with her and then she invited me into her band.”

Now Pittman splits his time between guitar duties in legendary underground metal outfit Prong and axe-slinging behind the Material Girl. Pittman’s skills will be on display at Madonna’s sold-out TD Banknorth Garden shows tonight and tomorrow.

So how does Madge’s blond ambition apply to the guitar?

“She’s a very dedicated student,” Pittman said. “She takes it very seriously. Her assistant told me she’s caught Madonna a couple times up at 2 a.m. working on stuff I showed her. If I show her something, she works very hard to get it right and is a fast learner.”

At 50, you might wonder if Madonna is taking up guitar so she can take a break from all the singing, dancing and berserk yoga poses she pulls off on stage. Pittman doesn’t believe that’s the case.

“She doesn’t think, ‘Oh, I can take a break here and play some guitar’,” he said. “She doesn’t need a break. There’s plenty of songs she doesn’t play guitar on where she could, but she likes to keep things balanced.

“That’s why this show’s got a pimp section, old-school section, acoustic section and futuristic section where the lasers come out,” he said. “I don’t really know how she could top this show. Maybe if she ran on a treadmill while doing flips.”

I'm not surprised by the divorce news, there was something about the rumours in the past year that struck me as true despite the exaggerations. I thought that if they were going to divorce they'd do it after the album release and the finalisation of the adoption, so, now's the time. The lyrics of Miles Away seem like they're about Madonna and Guy growing apart.

Im really wanting her ex-label Sire/Maverick/waner Bros. to make a box set of all her studio albums.

There are several limited promo ones like the Royal Box Set but they're pretty much just for collectors because they're priced through the roof.

I'd prefer Steven actually. :) Glad you like my sig. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the tour went to Japan and then Australia afterward. She loves Japan!

More on the Like A Prayer mash-up

Doug Rule at Washington D.C. magazine Metro Weekly ponders on Madonna returning to D.C. on tour next time and gives fans more information on the Like A Prayer mash-up:

Maybe Madonna will finally come back to D.C. with her next tour, since George W. Bush will no longer be president - apparently the reason she hasn't stopped here since 2001's Drowned World Tour. Chances will be greater if Barack Obama wins, of course. But for now, the only way to see her eighth worldwide show, the Sticky and Sweet Tour, is to either travel or wait for it on DVD.
When you do get a chance to see it, chances are you'll fall for her mashed-up recreation of 'Like A Prayer' - and chances are you'll soon be hearing it in clubland, too. 'It feels like; It feels like; It feels like home,' Dino Lenny sings, as Madonna replies, 'Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there.' Dino who?
Actually, 'Feels Like Home' is a European dance hit from last year credited to Meck, the alias of DJ Craig Dimech, a behind-the-scenes player in British dance music. He worked with the Italian Lenny, who has a wonderfully haunting voice reminiscent of Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, to fashion what has become his first international hit, the raw basis of which comes from a 16-year-old house hit, Felix's 'Don't You Want Me.'
So in marrying 'Feels Like Home' with 'Like A Prayer,' Madonna not only recreated for today's dancefloor one of her best older songs. She also once again spotlighted a budding act worthy of more attention. Ready? Meck is. The follow-up single 'So Strong' is fantastic, and it serves as Dimech's M.O. as well as a promise. 'And I feel so strong, if nothing goes wrong, I'll pay back tomorrow,' Lenny seems to be singing, based on what I can make of the lyrics. 'Stay right back, 'cause it's taking on the dance floor!' And it will.
