When I was younger, the Blond Ambition Tour and Truth or Dare was everything to me as a young and impressionable kid in middle school. Madonna was one of the biggest things in pop, but still bucked everything to be an outspoken advocate for gay rights and HIV/AIDS awareness. And in Truth or Dare, we got to know her group of backup dancers, who normally are just unknowns, but like the musical A Chorus Line, we got to know way more about those seven young men. So how interesting to follow up on them 25 years later and seeing how life for them was after all that they’ve been through, with some financing some continued success, while others were mired with how to deal with the infamy of being known forever as one of Madonnaks backup dancers.
