VIDEO: Madonna’s Nightline Interview From 1990

Do you remember were you were when we saw Madonna’s controversial video “Justify My Love” on the evening news? The video had been rejected by MTV because it showed Madonna kissing a woman, guys in drag and Madonna having multiple sex partners.

Pretty tame by today’s standards, the interview before the video aired shows Madonna arguing for self-expression, but what she was really arguing for is American’s struggle with embracing sexual diversity. Madonna is so cute the way she mispronounces “feminists.”

You know right after this interview she was ready to tell Forrest Sawyer to go fuck himself.

Have we come a long way, or is this conversation still happening elsewhere?

Here’s the video for Justify My Love, featuring the sizzling hot model/porn star Tony Ward. Remember when music videos ended in quotes, just in case we didn’t get the point?
