A disgruntled reviewer was referring to someone whose work they were not satisfied with as a pre-madonna.

*snrk* I guess anyone can be touchy when they're expecting, but that's not usually a trait I'm used to seeing associated with Jesus's mom.

OMG, it took me a moment to figure out what that meant! I suppose it could also refer to the early 80s.

Ha! That twist hadn't occurred to me. Guess I'm showing my age!

Yes. It provided a laugh when I needed one, too.
