Madonna Discovers Mythical Musical Note in Concert
Sagging pop singer Madonna created an international furor last weekend on the star-studded tsunami relief telethon when she hit the previously unheard musical key of Z while performing a cover of John Lennon's "Imagine."
The musical note, first postulated by masters Handel and Mozart, had for centuries been regarded as a myth by scholars and long been the subject of heated debate in music circles.
Although admittedly pleased by the accidental discovery - which she attributes to her fascination with Kaballah - the former Material Girl was quick to say it had little importance to her life now, as she begins the first leg of a relief trip to the devastated regions of the Indian Ocean.
"Forty years ago when I was still shallow and my music irrelevant, I would have been thrilled," the singer revealed to DeadBrain. "But the most important thing to me now, besides perfecting my British accent, is my humanitarianism.
"Music and water are the ultimate healers," she explained. "And to get this point across to the victims of this tsunami thing, I'll be selling my CDs, CD players, and bottles of Kaballah water in Thailand and Indonesia."
The Michigan native has been one of the leading exponents of the mystical belief system, which has its roots in ancient Jewish tradition. Ads airing on British television show her hawking bottled Kaballah water, believed to come from the backyard of a Winnipeg fertilizer salesman, with the catchphrase, "It's Kabba-licious."
Accompanying her will be her husband, British director Guy Ritchie, who has arranged benefit screenings of the couple's landmark film Swept Away.
