She was a superstar from the beginning.

Who gives a flying fook if her neck is sagging ? She's 50+ ; it happens . Can she sing and is she REAL ? That's what is important to me .

Yeah, I remember watching Live Aid '85 as well. I was glued to the TV the entire time. I agree, Madonna had a memorable performance.

Her sister Elen Lauper ran for the mayorship of Phoenix, and is a member of the Socialist Workers Party, a radical-leftist political group.

I believe Eric Brazilian (another Hooter) did the guitar and Rob Hyman played a melodica. (I am not absolutely sure about that, though.)

I feel sorry for Cubs fans who have to sit at Wriggley Field after having hosted events for the "Gay Games". I think I'd want everyhing steam cleaned before it gets used for baseball. I wonder how many used condoms got left in the stands.

From what I've read, she's not gay or lesbian or whatever. Her biggest fanbase is the gay community, and her music is popular in gay night clubs.

You are correct, sir. She's not gay, and it was her then-husband who dreamed up linking her with professional wrestlers, resulting in Captain Lou Albano playing her father in the landmark "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" video, an appearance at Wrestlemania, and Hulk Hogan escorting her onstage when she won a Grammy for Best New Artist. She tired of the stunt, and the friction led to their divorce.

Brash women like Ethel Merman, Bette Midler, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper are adored by as many gay men as straight men. Not being gay, I don't have the slightest idea why.

Long before Britney Spears' "Touch of My Hand," the Divinyls' "I Touch Myself," Toni Braxton's "You're Making Me High" and Tweet's "Oh My," Cyndi Lauper recorded the first paean to female autoeroticism to hit the Top 40. Within the lyrics of "She Bop," what was the weapon of choice to get her motor running? Blueboy magazine, the premier gay skin mag at the time.

I loved that song, especially that hot synth beat. Then I saw the video in which she goes blind. Wondering what in the world was going on, I listened to the lyrics, and decoded it. Doggone it.

I think it was right after Madonna's performance that we left the stadium. The solid non-stop music was the only thing that kept your mind off the sun. (They had a huge TV screen on stage to show the Wembley performances.) It had to be the hottest day of the summer, and everybody in the crowd was begging for the firehose guys on the field to spray water in their direction. We never got a drop. It was a great, memorable day though.

Regards,
LH

All this time, I thought she sang "fun", not "tongue".

It's actually "Wrigley Field." Spelling it "wriggley" makes it even creepier.

Cyndi Lauper: I actually performed for the Gay Games back in '94. I had a blast. Can't wait to do it again.

She's as ugly now as she was 20 years ago. There are women 50+ that are drop dead gorgeous, and she ain't one of them.

I'd get wiggly if I went to Wrigley and my seat had something squiggly.

FYI Lauper's sister has been openly gay since her teens so it's no big surprise that Cindi has a soft spot for gay/lesbian issues. They are a close family.

I saw her recently at a Cher concert and was pleasantly surprised. She had such a wonderful time singing those punky 80's songs (and poking fun at them too) that we couldn't help but have a good time as well. At one point she left the stage and bounded through the rows of people just shaking hands, meeting people, and singing lyrics with the crowd.

Anyway, try not to take her so seriously. I believe the girl STILL just wants to have fun.

"As mayor, I want you to know how much we enjoyed having you here this past week," said Daley, who also spoke at the Gay Games' opening ceremony a week earlier at Soldier Field. "I'm sure you found Chicago is a very welcoming place for members of the gay and lesbian community."

Singer Cyndi Lauper, dressed in a rainbow-colored statue of liberty outfit, headlined performers at the ceremony.
