True Colors Tour Hits San Diego County

by Carole A. Lane on June 23rd, 2008

This Friday (June 27), the True Colors Tour will stop at Viejas Casino for a Concert in the Park, and what a great lineup! Headlined by Cyndi Lauper, Cyndi will be joined by The B-52s, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, special guest Andy Bell of Erasure, The Puppini Sisters, and host Carson Kressley! Wow!

This has got to be one of the wilder concerts coming up this summer, and I’d go just to see Cyndi Lauper OR The B-52s, but together - Fabulous!

A devoted advocate for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community for over 25 years, Cyndi Lauper launched the annual True Colors Tour in 2007. In partnership with organizations like the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), this North American tour brings people together to voice their solidarity for GLBT equality and raise awareness about the continued discrimination the community still faces. From Cyndi and her openly gay sister, Elen, taking part in a highly successful national public awareness campaign for PFLAG to participating in countless events to raise funds and awareness for the fight for GLBT equality, Cyndi is committed to this vital community that has loved and supported her throughout her career. In appreciation for her work, Cyndi has been honored by many organizations including HRC, PFLAG, and the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

    Did anyone get the chance to see Cyndi on Jay Leno last night (thurs.)? Here’s a hint… She has never looked better and she still has the flair! Root her on people!

    Thanks,

    I’m bummed that I missed it, Ryan. She’s amazing, isn’t she?

    Carol,

    Believe it or not… She is “spunkier” with her performance now in comparison to 20 years ago. I am thrilled and excited. Good solid back up band too.
