Michigan to Madonna: Come Home (Ditch The Accent First)
If you had only four minutes to save the world, would you spare one to run back to your hometown? Madonna's new single is, of course, purely hypothetical, but the offer her hometown of Bay City, Michigan is making is anything but: Come back and collect your key to the city, Miss Ciccione!
She was considered too controversial for such an honor in 1985, but Madonna's public image has mellowed enough that the town may even erect a statue in her honor, according to mayor Charles M. Brunner.
Of course, coming back to acknowledge her ties to the area as its native daughter would mean letting go of the absurd pretense that she's British, so it may not happen after all. No offense, Michigan; you're not a bad place from whence to be.
