Random Memorial for Monday 7/23/18

Gone but not forgotten:  another cassette tape in the trash, for this, the summer of Madonna -- well, at least the summer of Madonna when it comes to this occasional series. 

(And, as a reminder, Madge is in the trash because this CD version is also already in the overall music collection, and one has to purge at some time in one's life.)

Of course, if I'm being completely accurate, that might be Miss Dita there in the trash, as ... you know ... she was kind of the hostess for the album.  (Yes, I am aware that my referring to it as an album is hinting at my old age -- and kids, albums came before cassettes but after eight-tracks.  Ask your grandparents -- or a hipster DJ -- for more info.)

As for the tune I'll choose to feature in honor of this item going the way of the empty yogurt container is one that speaks to *this* day and age the same as it did to the 1992 era when this fifth album of hers was released: 'Why's It So Hard' -- and you needn't be worried that a song with *that* title on an album named 'Erotica' might be pornographic, as she saved that approach and her usage of double entendres (and single entendres) ... for other tracks.

LOVE YOUR SISTER ... LOVE YOUR BROTHER ... NOW!
