When I was in 7th grade, Cyndi Lauper was one of our hero(ines). "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" liberated my female classmates, which, in turn, made it more enjoyable for us boys. Girls were further freed, when "She Bop," well..., I hope you will understand. "Time After Time" has stood the test of, well, time, and is as powerful today, as it was in 83/84. And damn it, "Money Changes Everything" ROCKS!
We were used to seeing Lauper in rock and pop culture magazines. So now, she is featured on the cover of....wait for it....AARP.
For my generation, that is a gut punch. F---, we're old...
