Jade Goody Is Madonna Is Nietzsche
JADE Goody, Madonna and Nietzsche - the Financial Times finds a way to work celebrity news into its pages - again. Remember: “My last hope for a celebrity-free read”…
The 20th century saw, as he had predicted, the migration of values from the higher – the spiritual – to the lower – the material, accompanied by an orgy of violence unmatched in recorded history, as well as a weakening of the taboos surrounding sex. The justification, if justification were needed, was that material values were more real, less hypocritical. I don’t know if Madonna reads Nietzsche, but her “Material Girl” (“You know that we are living in a material world/ And I am a material girl”) was a perfect embodiment of this shift, as, in a starker way, was the short life and death of Jade Goody.
Jade is… well, whatever you want her to be (for a price)…
