In this clip from MTV Brasil, circa 1993, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain talks about Madonna. In the first part of the interview he mentions Madonna signing groups like Prodigy and Candlebox to her record label Maverick and how he doesn’t feel she was being sincere. In a refreshing turn, he mentions where he does have respect for Madonna and why.

He talks about her introducing Vogue into the mainstream. Vogueing as an art form was, of course, pioneered by the late great Willi Ninja.
