Today is Madonna's 66th birthday! Madonna opened the 41st GRAMMYs with a Japanese-inspired performance of "Nothing Really Matters," drawing inspiration from its music video.

This final single from Madonna's seventh studio album was lyrically written about Madonna’s creative process where people had dissected and judged her. The singer elaborated on that: In ‘Nothing Really Matters’ and ‘The Power of Good-Bye’, I want people to have a visceral and emotional reaction to things, rather than to have in their mind where all my stuff comes from. With the songs, I wanted to say that it does not matter really what you think or do, just think by yourself, and not judge and dissect others. You know if I see a bug crawling across the floor and it inspired me to write the most incredible love poem, I don’t want people to be thinking about their relationship, and then think of my bug crawling across the floor. It’s then that the power of good-bye becomes better than the power of acceptance.

this came out in 1998 -- It's my 20 year anniversary of moving to Seattle in 1998!
