Madonna's Super Bowl Performance Symbolism



The above album contains image stills that I took from Madonna's Super Bowl Performance. I recently listened to a Red IceiInterview with Alan Abbadessa from 10/21/11 where he discussed certain blogs that define the symbolism of pop culture.  Anyhow, during that interview he discusses why he is personally turned off by blogs like Vigilant Citizen (featured on this blogs Pop Culture page), because he feels that blogs like these are defining symbols in such a definitive way that it becomes limiting.  I thought that his opinion brought up a valid point, so I compiled these images (with no captions) for the viewer to take in and contemplate the symbolic meaning on their own, without the thoughts of another as to what the symbols may mean.

However, I would also note that I think the Vigilant Citizen write up of Madonna's performance is worthy of a read.  Along with Freeman's article on his website.
