Default What is this song/video trying to say?
I just saw this music video and I'm really interested in what Madonna is trying to say. My guess is that it's anti-war, but I'm not really quite sure. I guess this video was pulled before it ever got released and then was leaked a couple years later

YouTube - American Life (madonna)

Any ideas?

It's anti-war on a small level.

It's really anti-passive-observer more concerned with superficiality and selfishness than reality. You know...the typical American. And she is saying she once was that person.

I agree, i also believe that the message the video madonna is trying to convey is exactly what you say Jennihul.

Maybe because you share similar beliefs?

Bingo.

Who would have thunk it when she first appeared back in the 80's?
