Tweets at link. Cindy Lauper's got her panties up in a wad (poor choice of words when dealing with this particular celeb demographic?)over her biggest hit being used to promote the eeevil Orange Man. The same Orange Man who gladly let her use his Celebrity Apprentice show to raise funds for her charity helping homeless gays. What an effing ingrate. She didn't mind raking in the dough when Kodak used True Colors in their ads to sell cameras, didnt she?

I follow Brandon Straka on Twitter and he’s a super nice person and Trump supporter.

that’s too bad... Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors is one of my all-time favorite songs... i like Phil Collin’s rendition too, but i like hers a bit more... some of it has to do with where my life was at the time her song came out—1986... i was 21 years old...

Not surprising - she’s not nor has she ever been about togetherness or diversity.

She’s used the poor and oppressed as pawns (like lady Gaga) to enrich herself against the “male patriarchy”.

Obama could do everything Trump did and she and Mel Brooks would be singing his praises. But it’s not, nor was it ever, about ideology. It was all kabuki theater as she now throws a homosexual under the bus.

“You ain’t black if you don’t vote for me” isn’t the rantings of a demented man... it’s a Freudian slip.

The Mrs and I saw Lauper with Rod Stewart in concert a year ago. She was laughable, like an old Jersey Grandma trying to pole dance on stage. It still would have been entertaining but, as so many entertainers HAVE to do these days, she had to subject the audience to her politics with a voting lecture near her finale. Rod stayed with his music.

If anyone questions why I would see these two in concert, the tickets were free for vets.

It’s not Lauper’s song - she’s just one of the artists who chose to record it. If she doesn’t like another artist recording it she’s welcome to pout impotently, as she’s doing.

“The pop music legend”

Is there any has-been singer of songs who is not a “legend”?

Amen, she behaving as if she wrote the song herself. Well she did not, but I am glad that the songwriter found nothing wrong with Brandon using his song to lift the Human Spirit.

She didn’t write the song so her moaning about how it belongs to her is just too bad.

Remember when Al Gore’s wife tried to cancel Cyndi Lauper over “She Bop”?

Rod Stewart has a secret hobby (maybe no so secret any more) of building model trains and train dioramas. He would take a set of buildings with him on concert and spend his spare time making buildings and trees and stuff. A real train nerd. Sheldon Cooper (the Big Bang Theory character) would love him.

I respect Rod Stewart for avoiding politics at the concert. Cindi needs to learn to shut up and sing, and leave the politics and the pole-dancing at home.

Cindy Lauper doesn’t matter. At all.

When you put art or music into the world it’s no longer you’re sole province.

I’m no expert but I’d say “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and “Time after Time” were bigger hits.
