as ever, but unfortunately for you the bit I laughed at most was 'pre-madonnas'.

I think the phrase you're looking for is 'prima donnas', which means first ladies, and conjurs up visions of exactly the kind of self-absorbed petulant behaviour you describe, rather than conjuring up visions of a music scene not yet aware of madge. What does that even mean?

Don't let that detract from a marvellous read, it just made me chuckle, is all.

It was a 'play-on-words'...
sorry.

EDIT: Cos now when I think about it...Madonna probably came first*.

*She did when she was with me...Fnarr

EDIT 2: Post now edited to say 'pre-Madonna Prima Donnas'..which hopefully makes it clearer, whilst still not making sense. Thanks for the nudge.

Oh, I see
To be fair, it is entirely like me to not get a joke that is not 100% factually accurate.
