what kind of washed up old has been would go and see this washed up old has been?
Cyndi Lauper
Apparently a bunch of old has beens!! The damn show is SOLD OUT!!……amazing…
Well since Erasure sold out before i could get tix i have to settle for this one…..beats sitting home and watching American Idol.
I talked to a friend in Orlando last night and he saw her I think this past weekend in a free show. He said about 5,000 plus in attendance……damn!
Believe it or not, her current club tour is sold out everywhere.
I believe it.
Say what you like about "this washed up old has been", Cyndi Lauper has one hell of a voice…multi-octave range, and she knows how to use it. Sound check sounded good, she's got a talented band with her. We expected the show to sell out when we booked it. <BR>So what exactly do you have against her Markie?

I cant spell. Am I still entitled to wince when I hear true colours?
In my opinion, if somebody finds enjoyment in watching/hearing her perform, then good for them. Who am I to judge.<P>On the other hand, the 80's are over…let it go…let it go…<P>
I have the same reaction to the new Johnny Marr album.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by chills:<BR><B><P>On the other hand, the 80's are over…let it go…let it go…<P></B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

Plus Johnnies side projects have kept him contemporary, just about, dontcha think?
Since when is having a recent hit the benchmark for artistic ability? Seems to me I've seen plenty of discussions on this very forum arguing the very opposite. Anyway, I'm with Chills, why be judgemental? And why be insulting?

When was Lloyd Cole EVER popular in the mainstream? I think his work has been consistently good throughout his career. Though the one time I saw him live, he was pretty boring.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by markie:<BR><B>
