Her "True Colors"
I predicted back (in the early 80s) that this "Madonna" person was just a blip on the radar screen, that the "Material Girl" was just a Cyndi Lauper Wanna-Be, and that we'd be humming Cyndi songs long after Madonna was forgotten.
That memory came back to me, watching the recent Grammy awards. Maybe I can't pick 'em. My affection for Taylor Swift has drawn big laughs from my buddies (and her duet with Stevie Nicks seems to confirm their disdain for the 19-year-old country cutie), but I like her song-writing, There's an honesty, and authenticity, to her music, just like Lauper's.
Madonna is the best-selling female rock star of the 20th century, and Cyndi is working the casino circuit. She'll be in Oregon in April, at the Spirit Mountain Casino, near the Oregon coast. Even if I was inclined, I can't afford what Madonna charges for a performance, but a casino show is in my price range. That as I'd want it because while Madonna has done some good work, I'd rather see Cyndi--her True Colors will always rank as a personality favorite.
