Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This week's On the Media has a charming interview with Cyndi Lauper. I didn't know she was SO awesome. I think I might have to run out and get her book.

Anyway, the host played a minute if her duet with Patti Labelle on "Time After Time" and I got goosebumps. I have to track it down because their harmonizing was much better than I ever expected with Labelle doing her syncopation thing.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

One of my mother's former students is in Kinky Boots on Broadway. It's pretty cool watching her post pictures of herself and her mom and Cyndi Lauper on FB.

He only wrote Plastic Man.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm pretty wrecked about this.

Maxwell's is great. We used to go to Hoboken to hear music a couple times a month in the early 90s.

Just got back from the Pat Benatar concert. Damn, she's still got it.

My seat was about 20 feet from the stage, so I'm really glad I thought to buy earplugs.

The Johnny Cash cover was kind of a surprise. How long has she been doing that?
