Today marks the 30th Anniversary of Cyndi Lauper’s “She’s So Unusual”. When I first saw this I was all Holy shit! I am old! But then I remembered being old or feeling old is a privilege and instead thought Holy shit! I can’t believe that record has been with me for 30 years! It’s funny that I learned of the anniversary late this afternoon, because earlier I was chatting with Steve about how I hardly ever listen to entire albums….
