  1. Already a Superstar and an Icon, Madonna suddenly overnight became a darling of rock critics-it all started and began with True Blue. She sparked debates with Papa Don’t Preach, she rocked hard on Open Your Heart, she evoked Hollywood’s golden age with White Heat and Jimmy Jimmy, she took a Spanish Course with La Isla Bonita, she ruled dance floors on Where’s the Party?, she fell in love and married Sean Penn in the title cut and most importantly, she wrote about childhood trauma and sadness on Live to Tell-it’s an album that has shaped, altered and changed my life and I am happy and glad to have True Blue in my record collection.
