Madonna, 58, won’t be fully appreciated until she’s gone. The simple fact that she’s old enough to be a grandmother and still baring her nips on magazine covers proves that she’s anything but all talk when it comes to combating ageism in the music industry.

“I’ve always felt oppressed. I know a lot of people would go, ‘Oh, that’s ridiculous for you to say that. You’re a successful white, wealthy pop star,’ but I’ve had the shit kicked out of me for my entire career, and a large part of that is because I’m female and also because I refuse to live a conventional life,” she told Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year. “I’ve created a very unconventional family. I have lovers who are three decades younger than me. This makes people very uncomfortable. I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable.”
