Madonna recently made headlines as the centerpiece of a photo shoot depicting an inversion of the last supper, with tones of mockery. So the 64-year-old singer, who is desperately trying to hold on to her youth, popstar fame, and any remaining relevancy, was certainly the best choice to introduce Sam Smith’s and Kim Petra’s laughingly cartoonish performance of the song ‘Unholy’. For most the song was only cool because the performers are non-binary and transgender and because the Devil is trendy. Interestingly, a 1990 kids show called the Powerpuff Girls depicted the Devil as being trans or some type of non-binary, calling it HIM - His Infernal Majesty. Besides the song and imagery being well received by the naive and equally detested by the religious faithful who, like social justice warriors, make it their daily duty to be offended in the name of Christ, Madonna herself received criticism after the introduction. Having experimented with all sorts of plastic surgery, and probably some unnatural Emperor Palpatine like sorcery, people rightfully observed that the plastic look of her face made her look unholy. In fact, she looked like a plastic doll. From a mundane point of view, Madonna is refusing to age gracefully, since she has no grace, and instead trying to defeat father time and mother nature. Unholy and unnatural indeed, especially since she blamed the criticism on ageism, the very thing she is desecrating. She also blamed misogyny, a strange defense considering that plenty of women also find her to look like plastic, as since she has spent her career as a sex symbol appealing mostly to men by violating the sacred feminine. But beyond the mundane, It begins to make sense. As a true Black Madonna, her face is a visual externalization of her lack of dignity and grace, rabid angry political rhetoric, and all of the divine mockery she has ever engaged in. She’s a used up sexual icon who has been replaced. And like a diabolical magician trying to hold on to what remains of their life after their contractual powers have expired, they will do anything degrading or demeaning to avoid judgment. Above her face is of course her hair, which was also done in a way that mimicked the lovecraftian Ruth Bader Ginsburg statue in New York, which honored the conquering of spirit by matter. It calls on the universal feminine to destroy itself. That is, after all, what Black Madonna symbolizes - the MA and donna, or Black mother goddess. This same evil can be witnessed when turning your attention Chuck Schumer or Joe Biden, both of which have been on camera talking to invisible entities. The look on the faces of people like Schumer, Biden, Mitch McConnell, and countless other Republicans and Democrats, shows not stress, but weight-full and otherworldly energy. Some are foot soldiers and others are generals in the Devil’s legions. People who laugh a lot get laugh lines, and when one does evil it begins to express itself outwardly.
