I was hurtling down the highway a couple of days ago, listening to my Sirius radio on the Big ’80′s channel and when Madonna came on to sing Like A Prayer.
Suddenly it hit me that she was the original linkbaiter and that video was the first linkbait.
I remember the buzz around it when it first aired.
Sexually suggestive movements … in a church.
Burning crosses.
Suggestions of inter-racial relations.
Yada-yada. Blah blah.
Churches upset. Mothers upset. Teachers upset. Her accountant was upset … with all the extra money he had to try to not pay taxes on.
She started linkbaiting way before blogs were around … in their current form.
Actually, she started linkbaiting before most of today’s bloggers were born, or at least out of school.
She made it into an artform … literally.
Was she the original linkbaiter … or just the best of our generation ?
