Madonna Is A Magical Songwriting Wizard

The Material Gir--hmmm...Material Wom--ummm, Material Old-Lady-With-A-Fake-British-Accent, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night, which is quite a feat considering she doesn't play Rock and Roll.  That's akin to Shaquille O'Neill getting inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, a sculptor winning the Pulitzer Prize, or a duck receiving The Purple Heart.  

Anyhow, Madge got a little choked up at the ceremony.  According to RollingStone.com:

"She offered a brief history of her career, describing her first stabs at music: playing drums along with Elvis Costello records, and strumming four chords on a guitar. She thanked an old ballet teacher 'who told me I was special,' and talked about songwriting in mystical terms: 'Luckily, I have been miraculously and mysteriously possessed by some kind of magic.'"

Yes, songwriting is certainly a magical experience when other people are doing it for you.  Abra cadabra, holmes!
