"I think it was David Bowie [that was my first concert]. And he blew my mind. Ziggy Stardust in Detroit. What he did on stage was so inspiring, because he was so theatrical...I respect him as an artist, aside from his music. He really played with ideas, and iconography and imagery, and his work was very provocative. He's a brilliant man. And a gentleman, too."

Madonna, Q, December 1994

"I was terribly inspired by David and I still think he's an amazing human being"

Madonna From 'Access All Areas', 1999

"It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience, having gone through persona changes like that, that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be."

David Bowie, 1992, Madonna Village Quotes: What They Say About Her

Does anybody have her induction speech for Bowie's R&R HoF entry?
