The Nightmare

[Villavic]

I find it hard to believe that Stevie influenced Madonna in the mid 80s, despite the gloves (a single detail, nothing more). The interviewer probably said it to please her and improve her mood. However I must admit that when I watched some of the Ray of Light (1998) video clips, I thought of Stevie, whether because of Madonna's look or a slight mystical touch in the songs, specially in Frozen, maybe Nothing Really Matters too, though updated. Not the title track of course.
