Paulo Coelho: "Today is late Sunday and I just returned from the show of Madonna. And what did I see? A young 50 year-old dancing like a child, a queen, a teenager. It got me thinking about the fact that I believe we are aging differently from the previous generations. I remember for instance my parents at the age of 50 and they were already old, and more importantly they considered themselves as already old." (Madonna (entertainer))

Had she really worn those mirrorshades? Perfect holdovers from the Me Decade, because they let the viewer watch himself. View quote
