Music label Epic Records Japan Inc. on Wednesday released a CD in which Cyndi and a Japanese journalist recite a well-known story from the book "Faithful Elephants" about zookeepers who had to kill zoo animals during the war. Zookeepers in Ueno Zoo, Tokyo, were ordered to kill the animals to prevent them from escaping in the event their cages were destroyed by U.S. bombings. The story, which was first published in 1945, features the struggles and hardships the zookeepers experienced and sends the message that war has tragic consequences even for animals. [more]
Cyndi said she was an inspiration. "It's so inspiring to see her work and she's got some spunk," she said.

Robert Hazard, a songwriter and musician from Philadelphia who wrote the 1983 Cyndi Lauper hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," has died. He was 59. One night in a motel in Delaware, Mr. Hazard sat in a bathtub and in 15 minutes wrote "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," a sprightly pop tune. Labeled a feminist anthem, it shot to No. 1. [more]

SHE describes it like a scene out of Star Trek. Cyndi Lauper was in her hotel room in Australia sitting at her laptop, while her producer was on the other side of the world, in Britain. They were working on the final mixes of her latest tracks, sending downloads back and forth and chatting online. "I used to watch Star Trek when I was a little kid and, wow, here I am! Only my iChat screen is not as big as Captain Kirk's." [more]
Cyndi Lauper likes to talk. She can talk for America. And England. And Italy. It’s the end of a long international press day and I’m told that Cyndi is running about 15 minutes late. Then 30. Then 45. Then a whole hour. But this isn’t sulky divaish behaviour The woman who sold 16 million copies of her debut album She’s So Unusual in 1984 is back on a high. She has topped the American Billboard dance chart with Same Ol F***ing Story (there’s no swearing in the title of the UK version, but plenty in the song and sprinkled in her conversation). [more]

Cyndi was interviewed on Australian radio this morning and spoke about the True Colors Tour, her writing process and was asked if "Edge Of The Earth" or "Still With Me" will ever be released. If you missed the interview you can download it from Cyndi Source here.
SHE’S the kooky American singer-songwriter who told us Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Now 55, Cyndi Lauper proves her dancing days are still not over with this full-on club album. Madonna’s Hard Candy might have been a dud but Bring Ya To The Brink is the album Madge should have made, lots of Eighties-influenced synths, groove-infused numbers and arms-in-the-air disco dazzlers.
