A fledgling entertainment reporter, I was thrilled to review Madonna's 'Who's That Girl' tour — unfortunately, my press pass went to my head
It was the decade of big bangs and bangle bracelets — when everyone walked like an Egyptian and girls just wanted to have fun. The last place this New York City gal expected to find myself was a small rural town, surrounded by orange groves, the air so sickeningly sweet, just sniffing it could spin you into a diabetic coma.I was 26, with a new master's in journalism, and I'd been hired by The Daily Commercial in Leesburg, Florida.
Guards lined the foot of the stage, keeping concertgoers behind a yellow line. A born rule follower, I stood as close to that golden boundary as possible, without going over. But the crowd took on a life of its own, and I was soon tossed out of the safety zone. The next thing I knew, Madonna's fishnet stockings were disappearing into the distance, and I was flanked by two security brutes, being escorted through a tunnel and out of the stadium.
"If I didn't get back into that stadium, I'd be kicked out of the news business before I'd ever gotten in." Panic struck, and I entered survival mode: Choice B. I arrived at my desk early enough to read reviews in every morning edition of every newspaper that covered the concert. Mine was an afternoon paper, buying me time to Frankenstein everyone else's thoughts into one cohesive string, put it mostly in my own words, and file my story.
