Madonna in Moscow: Queen of Pop Arrives

Not since Michael Jackson toured the world with an entourage to rival the Pope, has a pop star made such a glorious stink in Russia. Madge flew in yesterday under top-secret security for tonight’s concert. After weeks of controversy, protests, bomb threats, and a change of venue, the Show Will Go On.
It’s hard to not be a little excited about something so POP because of what it means for Russia. Her appearance, in spite of all the odds is a glaring symbol of openness in the former communist country.
Even non-Madonna fans are happy.
In advance of the Tuesday concert at Luzhniki Stadium, the pop star has haggled with the city over a venue choice and altered her original plan to perform on Sept. 11 after critics said it would be disrespectful to the victims of the terror attacks five years ago.
Several small protests against the upcoming concert have taken place in the past few weeks, mostly by devout Russian Orthodox believers.
But for tens of thousands of Muscovites, her show is one of the most exciting events of the year's cultural calendar, a sold-out blowout to end the summer. TV cameras staked out Moscow's airports for Madonna's arrival Monday afternoon.
