Okay. Par for the course.DUBLIN (Reuters) - Pop diva Madonna came under fire from Christians in Ireland on Friday after it was confirmed she would play her first ever Irish concert on a Sunday.
Celebrities + Sudden Interest in Religion X =He denied that Madonna, who has developed an interest in Jewish mysticism recently, had refused to play on Saturday because it is the Jewish Sabbath.
365 days in the year, roughly 260 of those are WEEKDAYS. Work it the f*ck out. She's been around for like 20 years now, so there's been plenty of opportunity for advanced planning."It is the only date and day feasible," he said.
Brilliant. "I'm so offended on the basis of my religion that I'm going to smash things and hurt people....even though one of the basic tenets of my religion is not to smash things and/or hurt people."But Joe Deegan, Slane's parish priest, said the decision was insensitive in a country where 90 percent of the population is Roman Catholic.
"The Lord's Day for a lot of people around this part of the world is Sunday and it seems a bit inconsiderate and insensitive that our religious beliefs are not taken into account," he told RTE state radio on Friday.
The last time Slane Castle hosted a major concert on a Sunday -- in 1984 when Bob Dylan (news) played -- it sparked riots.

"It's very sexually provocative," he said, adding, however, that he would probably go to concert, whenever it was staged, because he enjoyed Madonna's music.
