3 Minute Escape

I went to see Cyndi Lauper tonight. 2 concerts in 7 days. My kind of week. Last Friday I saw Steve Miller Band and Peter Frampton. Tonight I saw Cyndi Lauper. This probably shows a small window of my diverse jukebox. You will never be able to catch up with the tune in my mind...and more so what's in my heart.

Tonight,Cyndi played a huge selection from her new music- blues. It was very nice and relevant as she said to the times.

There's always that small box of hope...in this case was the hope of her playing some of my favorite CL jams that I grew up with and like to belt out at NRB like there's no tomorrow. She's essentially been around since the 80's and she pranced around and rocked out for the whole set. It was pretty impressive. It was like she boxed up her youthful energy and preserved it the past 15-20 years. I liked it all...Change of Heart, Time After Time, Girls Just Want To Have Fun, and True Colors.

It was pretty cool because most of the amphitheater was not at full capacity due to the torrential rain we had earlier in the day. However, when they played some of her old school stuff it felt like the whole arena lit up and filled out. Pretty cool.

Everyone was on their feet. For those 3 minutes people seemed to not have a care in the world...
They sang with their lips all the while they swayed their hips and raised their hands....it was pretty cool and liberal. It was a moment that I wanted to capture and reflect upon. And that's exactly what I did. Everyone was so carefree. During that time they were smiling ear to ear and was so happy. I took a mental picture of that.

It was a 3 minute escape...

"...if you're lost you can look and you will find me...time after time. if you fall i will catch you...I'll be waiting time after time...."
