#25: Not That Madonna
Madonna may not have quite the star power that she did in her heyday, but there was a time that she was a huge figure in pop culture and music, and her influence could be felt everywhere. So it’s no surprise that her name is so embedded in our minds that sometimes we get confused about words that sound like “Madonna.”
I never made this particular mistake, but a part of me still gets confused for a second when I hear someone talking about “the Madonna,” i.e. the Virgin Mary. I’ll be in an art museum, looking at a piece called something like Madonna with Five Angels, and I will be super confused for a minute.
