You know what I really like from HFOS? A Part Hate.

Why are the people
Running down the block
Rock throwing, not knowing
What else to do
But I'm just a spectator
And I can never know the pain
But when I hear
That whip cracking
I cry out tears of anger
I cry out tears of shame

Blugh. Well, so this doesn't go completely OT: Cyndi has to get up early (like 5-6) for Declyn's practices, so you're in the same boat as she is!

News flash:

My friend just called me from Provincetown. They are having a big gay parade there and Cyndi Lauper just rode by him in a convertible singing through a megaphone and blowing kisses.

God I love her! Why aren't I there?

That's hot! I had read she was going to be there today. I want her to blow kisses at me!

I just got back from the San Francisco show. It was opening night and there were a lot of glitches. Cyndi had to start over on several songs and seemed agitated by sound problems. She was also bothered by the placement of the speakers, because she couldn't get to the front of the stage easily.

But her voice was in excellent form and her energy is incomparable. She was three chairs away from me during Shine!! I tried to get her to touch my hand, but she was preoccupied by the fact that her chair was rocking and clearly didn't want to fall.

Totally lame audience. Only about 5 of us stood up when she waded into the crowd during Shine. During the encore, she said "you can stand if you want" and finally they did.

Jill Sobule opened the show. She's a hoot. Cyndi came out during her set and did a duet while playing the dulcimer.

Set list follows...SPOILER






























Setlist from memory, could be incomplete and out of order)

Mack The Knife (her song from 3 Penny Opera, just a snippet)
?? (something like "that's what I think about when I think about you")
I Drove All Night (Cyndi writhing on stage...hot!)
All Through The Night (after telling a rambling story for 10 minutes)
New song (something like "From The Other Side")
She Bop
Sisters of Avalon
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (went to back of audience)
Above The Clouds (stunning, sat on stage right in front of me)
True Colors (goosebumps!)
Change of Heart
Shine

Encores:

Unchained Melody
?? Duet with Jill Sobule
Money Changes Everything

yeah, it's awesome. the rest of the album is awesome, too. i'm totally envious you got to see her - i passed her up on the last tour. she came to cleveland in december and i've been kicking myself ever since. hopefully she'll come back around soon!
