I loved Madonna so much when I was younger.

The author saw Cyndi Lauper perform a year before she became a star. She was booed. I can't even imagine anyone booing Cyndi Lauper.

I had a friend in high school who dressed up as Cher for homecoming. I really wished I had a photo of him in that costume.

I hate the movie Grease and will rant about it anytime it's brought up. Never change yourself for a partner.

The 90s, when one of the craziest things was 'Meat is Murder'.

The Love Shack

I can't think of the song 'Macho Man' without picturing Buffy Summers singing it.

Some one thought"It’s Raining Men" was blasphemous and sent Paul Jabara a Bible? Is it the hallelujah?
I just looked up the lyrics. I suppose the whole 'Mother nature' was probably more of what bothered the evangelicals than the men's or hallelujahs. God could never be a woman lol.

The "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" goes back (if not further back) to a picket sign in 1977 that got photographed and published in The New York Times.

I have never understood disco but think roller disco should definitely make a comeback.
