"The thing about Madonna is you don't know what is her identity and what is her act....With someone like her, you never know what is an an image what is her guise she's constructing and then what is the real her."

This is music and film critic Peter Piatkowski and I chatting about Madonna. He said her enigmatic style is why he likes her so much. 
We deep dive into the nineties in the US and her place, based on Peter's article Blond Contrition: Madonna's Musical Response to the 1990s Culture Wars on the US music culture website Pop Matters.
The conservative right saw Madonna as a "source of debauchment and morality depravity".
We chat Erotica (1992), and then the nearly apologetic Bedtime Stories (1994).
Who is Madonna? It's not as if she's strategically mapping out all her apparent misnomers or rebirths over like a war hero in a movie. Or is she?
