taking `True Colors
' back on the roadTOUR WITH ERASURE AND DEBBIE HARRY SALUTES OPENNESS AND SUPPORTS GAY RIGHTSBy Yoshi Kato Special to the Mercury NewsArticle Launched: 06/28/2007 01:42:31 AM PDT More than a decade and a half before the Linda Perry-penned Christina Aguilera hit "Beautiful" became a popular declaration for open-minded acceptance, there was Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors." A No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 back in the fall of 1986, "True Colors" has since been covered by the likes of Phil Collins and Eva "Songbird" Cassidy. This year, the Billy Steinberg-Tom Kelly song has been adopted as the theme for a tour organized by Lauper. The 15-city tour, which arrives Friday night in Berkeley at the Greek Theatre before moving on Saturday to Los Angeles, features Lauper, the veteran technopop duo Erasure, Blondie vocalist Deborah Harry and Dresden Dolls.

True Colors Tourby Penny Arrabiata 2007-07-05 04:46:00 July 05, 2007True Colors
Tourby Penny
ArrabiataCYNDI LAUPER’S True Colors Tour had its final stop at the Greek Theatre on Saturday. I’m not a fan of daylight concerts but this one went well into the night and picked up speed with the setting sun and a shapely and soothing DEBORAH HARRY. When did she become soothing and when did she start looking like my Aunt Carol? Doesn't matter, my Aunt Carol is hot. After dark ERASURE took the stage and could have set Griffith Park on fire…again…with “Oh l’Amour." So good live I can’t tell you.The always hilarious MARGARET CHO worked the crowd in between bands and really kept the show moving. ROSIE O’DONNELL was also on the tour and guess what? She’s really funny. After all this crap with “The View” I totally forgot she was a comedian and a good one.+ MatthewShepard.org + HRCBy now you may have noticed all the acts are gay or gay-loving icons.

, 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 Tour When: June 30 Where: Greek Theatre, Los Angeles The 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" go Read more:Cyndi
Gay-oriented entertainment emerges as powerful industry 2007-07-05 04:06:00 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 Read more:industry
Greek active in the East Bay 2007-07-04 13:23:00 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 hear
Thousands Pack Fair St. Louis 2007-07-04 12:55:00 by Sean ConroySt. Louis
, MO (KTVI - myFOXstl.com) -- 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 s

Paris Match 2007-07-04 04:34:00 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 lon Read more:Match

's True Colors
fun for the girls and boysBy Jim Harrington MEDIANEWS STAFFArticle Launched: 07/03/2007 03:04:05 AM PDTThese 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 ever True Colors Tour. Of course, it's not just women who are interested in these issues; the Y chromosomes were represented, though to a lesser extent, on this tour. True Colors, which takes its name from one of tour organizer Lauper's best-known songs, came to the Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley on Friday night. It turned out to be a winning affair, one that delighted with comedy and song, and further served to unite the Bay Area's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender comm
Saint Cyndi 2007-07-02 12:17:00 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, 2007 No 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 Read more:Saint

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.
