Music, message gel nicely at True Colors Tour 2007-07-01 22:57:00 These girls don’t just want to have fun. They also want such things as equal rights and benefits in the workplace, increased public support on key issues and changes made to some current laws.That’s why these women _ including singers Cyndi Lauper and Debbie Harry and comedians Rosie O’Donnell and Margaret Cho _ went out on the road as part of the first annual True Colors
Tour. Of course, it’s not just women who are interested in these issues. Many men are concerned as well _ and the Y chromosomes were represented, though to a lesser extent than the X’s, on this tour.True Colors _ which takes its name from one of tour organizer Lauper’s best-known songs _ came to the U.C. Greek Theatre in Berkeley on Friday night (June 29). It turned out to be a winning affair, one that delighted with comedy and song as well as further served to unite the Bay Area’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities.A portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold on this month-long tour, Read more:Music

Cyndi Lauper, Erasure bring a joyful noise to the Greek 2007-07-05 17:27:00 Cyndi Lauper, Erasure bring a joyful noise to the Greek
George A. Paul, Staff WriterArticle Launched: 07/05/2007 10:32:13 AM PDT"We need to be empowered," urged Cyndi Lauper, on the closing night of the True Colors Tour, a multi-act jaunt she put together to show solidarity for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities.CONCERT REVIEW: True Colors TourWhen: June 30Where: Greek Theatre, Los AngelesThe diminutive singer arrived onstage barefoot, wearing a bright umbrella hat and long black wig (it was later ditched to reveal spiky purple hairdo). She led her exceptional band - including onetime Psych Furs guitarist Knox Chandler - through a tight, hour-long set including several forays into the audience.It kicked off with the spastic "Hole in My Heart." Lauper played fine electric guitar on Prince's sizzling "When You Were Mine," a slowed-down "She Bop" worked well and the hyperactive "Money Changes Everything" got the crowd pumped up.Lauper was emotional while introducing he Read more:Cyndi
Gay-oriented entertainment emerges as powerful industry 2007-07-05 17:09:00 Michael PaolettaBillboardJul. 5, 2007 12:00 AMCyndi Lauper knows how to make an entrance. As the headliner of the 15-city, multi-artist True Colors tour, Lauper strutted onto the stage of New York's Radio City Music Hall on a recent warm summer evening wearing a vibrant red wig. Midway through show opener Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China), Lauper ripped the fake hair off her head to reveal her newly shorn violet tresses. She was a rainbow flag come to life. Card-carrying members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community (LGBT, for short), as well as their gay-adjacent family and friends, hooted and hollered in appreciation. The True Colors trek, which concluded June 30 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, coincided with Gay Pride Month.Named after Lauper's enduring and empowering No. 1 hit from 1986, the five-hour True Colors concert was presented by Logo, MTV's multiplatform LGBT-focused network, Sirius Satellite Radio and Orbitz.From its national media sponsors Read more:industry
Greek active in the East Bay 2007-07-05 02:22:00 At each San Francisco stop last Friday night on the Berkeley-bound BART train, more "friends of Dorothy" poured on. We were riding in that famous last car of a nine-car train. Is it only an urban legend that hanky-panky breaks loose when the caboose penetrates the Transbay tunnel? But the excitement in the air wasn't exactly carnal, it was all about going to Cyndi Lauper's True Colors tour touching down at the Greek
Theatre.Special guest star Rosie O'Donnell was in fine fettle for her set of stinging commentary. "Larry King and Donald Trump say I'm fat and gay. Fat and gay, gay and fat. Like I care if I don't give two ugly old toads a boner!" High-larious!We also loved technopop duo Erasure (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke), who put on a snappy show. Bell has been open about his sexuality since 1985, when George Michael was fresh meat. Comedian and SF native Margaret Cho was assigned the tour's emcee duties, and with all due respect, we'd heard most of her jokes before. Margaret, can
Thousands Pack Fair St. Louis 2007-07-05 01:56:00 A threat of wicked weather and fewer attractions; not enough to keep thousands from keeping an annual Independence Day date at Fair St. Louis
. "Last night got us off to a great start," said Fair committee member John Stupp about Tuesday night's crowd. The second and final night of the scaled back fair just as impressive even with mother nature nearly stealing the show. A quick afternoon downpour scattered crowds but didn't scare too many fair-goers away. "It didn't discourage the folks and it didn't discourage us," says Stupp. As 80's Icon Cyndi Lauper took the stage she was greeted by a mass of people. Many came to hear her, most like Michelle Reynolds came for the day, the concert and most importantly the fireworks. The afternoon shower and the threat of more in the evening not about to keep her family from cutting their day at the fair short. "Doesn't matter if it does it does we are here for the long haul," said Reynolds. An attitude Justin Wilson and his brothers with the

Hilton and Hillary team up to tart up the campaign 2007-07-04 17:36:00 Hilton and Hillary
team up to tart up the campaign. The hottest new video circulating on YouTube these days shows Hillary Clinton and Paris Hilton singing a duet of Cyndi Lauper’s classic, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” Veteran political pundits have mixed opinions on the wisdom of Hillary whooping it up with Paris, but most people who have seen the video think it is really cool.“Yeah, it sure is a cute clip,” said former Reagan insider Ed Schreiber. “But I think it was a huge miscalculation. I felt embarrassed for Hillary when she joined Paris in what looks like some sort of can-can routine. Within minutes, that Ann Coulter gal was saying nasty things about Hillary’s legs and her sexual orientation.“But at least Hillary and Paris didn’t do a Madonna-and-Britney-Spears French kiss at the end of the song. If Hillary had done that, she could have kissed her presidential chances goodbye.”The Hillary campaign says the video has long been in the making and wasn’t just Read more:Hilton

Saint Cyndi 2007-07-03 01:18:00 Pride goes out with a bang on the last night of the True Colors Tour in Los Angeles By Corey ScholiboAn Advocate.com exclusive posted July 2, 2007No one owns a stage quite like Cyndi
Lauper. On closing night of her True Colors tour—a month-long music festival to raise money for HRC and awareness for the Mathew Shepard Act currently before the Senate—Lauper raised a fist to shoulder height, her wrists covered in purple “Erase Hate” rubber bracelets, and said, “This used to mean power to the people.” Earlier in the evening Rosie O'Donnell had conjured a similar sentiment when she said, “Stand up for yourself, gay people. The '60s are back.” And so it was; on the last night of Pride month, gay people had their own little Woodstock.The night began at 6 p.m. with the transgender-fronted and lesbian-backed garage rock of the Clicks. And while a large part of the audience was dropping 100 dollar-bills on indigestible burgers and oversized Coronas and lazing on the Griffith P Read more:Saint
Gay icons rock Berkeley for a cause in post-Pride 'True Colors ... 2007-07-02 17:11:00 Pity the word "empowerment," so abused that it's hard to remember it can be as much a call to action as a self-help bromide. On Friday, Cyndi Lauper issued just such a call when she reminded a packed crowd at Berkeley
's Greek Theatre that they were partying for a purpose: passage of the Matthew Shepard Act, a bill that would add homophobic-based crimes to existing federal hate crimes laws."I hope this night will make you feel empowered," she called over a wave of cheers, "because a hate crime bill that don't include everyone is un-American."Benefiting the Human Rights Campaign and the Matthew Shepard Foundation, the True Colors
tour was, as its wisecracking emcee, Margaret Cho, dubbed it, "the world's first all-gay-icon music festival." The five-hour extravaganza combined old-school heroes with the younger bands they inspired, from Lauper, Deborah Harry and Erasure to the Dresden Dolls and the Toronto band the Cliks. Rosie O'Donnell even made an appearance, first delivering a brie Read more:Pride

Cyndi and Rosie (but no Britney) at Human Rights Campaign's 'True Colors' concert 2007-07-02 02:53:00 In covering the multi-act "True Colors
" concert at the Greek Theatre on Saturday, it's tempting to emulate the cable newswoman who last week refused to lead a telecast with "that story" (cough-Paris-cough). Here too, more substantive matters — the Human RightsCampaign
's anti-gay-bashing efforts, which the tour is promoting — could have been overshadowed by the guest appearance of a tabloid star.Fortunately, the guest who showed up was Rosie
O'Donnell, a longtime gay rights activist who was invited along by organizer-headliner Cyndi
Lauper.How different it would have been if the rumors of a "surprise" performance by Britney
Spears had proved true. But she wasn't missed. Lauper remains a force of nature for her singing and stage talents. With her spiky hair dyed lavender, she hammed it up with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" but also showed oft-overlooked depth and breadth. Her version Saturday of "When U Were Mine," for example, still gives Prince's original a run for the money. Read more:Human Rights

True Colors Tour has good intentions, mixed results 2007-07-02 00:09:00 Review: Cyndi Lauper's True Colors
Tour, wrapping up Saturday at the Greek Theatre, features some standout artists.By CHRIS NIXONSpecial to the RegisterGone are the shocks of red and blue hair. Gone are the goofy videos with Captain Lou Albano. Gone are the squeaky voice and quirky persona. Who knew 20 years ago when Cyndi Lauper was a marginal and slightly annoying pop star that she'd grow into an activist in her middle age?Since its release in 1986, Lauper's ballad "True Colors" has been embraced as an anthem by the gay community and she's become a bit of an icon in the process. Now the 54-year-old mom from Queens, New York is working to raise public awareness about the issues facing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. She's even built a 15-city tour around it. It's called the True Colors Tour 2007. One dollar of every ticket sold will benefit the work of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest organization working for GLBT equality."I'm not a politician Read more:results

Cyndi’s True Colors Shine On 2007-07-02 00:07:00 06.29.07By Tracy E. GilchristWhen a sprightly, brightly hued–haired chanteuse smashed on to the pop music scene in 1984, who would have predicted that 23 years later she would become a timeless and revered artist and activist. And now Cyndi
Lauper, who taught the world to “She-Bop,” has assembled a bevy of contemporary and vintage ’80s acts to help her celebrate gay pride with her True Colors
tour, named for the her 1986 life-affirming anthem “True Colors.”This summer Cyndi’s hitting a road less traveled with gay and gay-friendly luminaries Erasure, Deborah Harry, Rufus Wainwright, Margaret Cho, The Dresden Dolls, The Gossip and The Misshapes. And if that weren’t enough, lesbian pioneers the Indigo Girls and Rosie O’Donnell, among other special guests, are slated to join the tour in various cities.“We’re gonna have a great time,” Lauper says in her infectious Brooklyn accent. “It’s my birthday. It’s Pride. We’re gonna have a party.”Although the Matthew Read more:Shine
Cyndi may be in a documentary 2007-07-09 01:39:00 Monday, July 09, 2007BY JOYCE J. PERSICONEW HOPE, Pa. -- A local di rector and a retired teacher turned council member are turning a love affair with New Hope into a documentary reflecting the borough's tolerant nature.And they want locals familiar with the town to be the stars."I've lived in New Hope for 30 years and I know it as a town where you can be what you want to be and live up to your potential without people looking at you with prejudice because of your hair or your sexual orientation or your age," said Geri Delevich."My idea for a documentary on New Hope is like the old Coca-Cola theme song, 'I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.' It's so magical here. You feel safe. I want people to see how New Hope is."Three years ago, Delevich retired after 33 years from teaching grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 throughout the Central Bucks school system. Five years ago, she began thinking about making a movie on her adopted hometown. Now, with the help of New Hope-based direc Read more:Cyndi
