True Colors Tour
posted by Noah at 10:40 AM
Cyndi Lauper has partnered with the Human Rights Campaign and will be touring this summer in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) equality. The True Colors tour, which will also feature Erasure, Debbie Harry, The Dresden Dolls and Margaret Cho will travel to 15 cities starting in June. Tickets will be on sale soon (HRC members & supporters will get early access).UPDATE: I went with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time! However, I've gotten a few anonymous comments about the language use, and while I give less than no credence to anonymous posters (seriously if you have something to say, be willing to stand behind your words, otherwise I assume you're a shill), I don't mind addressing the points made. 1. I think that people in the US are ridiculously prude about language and need to get over it. Read Made In America and discover that our revered forefathers used much more crude language than we do now. 2. It's a rock show featuring bands that sing about sex and two well known comedians who use "adult" language. Both of those things should be clues that this is not going to be a "kid friendly" environment. A bit of research would have told you so. 3. When you're at an event focusing on sexual orientation, you should expect that frank discussion of and non-clinical words for sex may be used.

Be aware this is an X rated event as far as language is concerned. We went, and in 30 minutes heard the F word 30 times. Ask, and got, a full refund. Too bad as we just wanted to hear good music and support equal rights. Dresden Dolls were over the top, singing about anal sex in that "coin operated toy" song.... with kids in the audience! Not what we paid $200 to hear!
This concert made me SICK! I can't believe they sold tickets to this concert without a warning about the content. I made the mistake of taking my young neice for her first concert, and ended up having to cover her ears during all the "comedy" bits. How many times do you need to say the 'F' word, sing about female genitalia, and make raunchy jokes about anal sex? Margaret Cho and Rosie O'Donnell are disgusting women and were a disgrace to the concert. They ruined the whole concert and should be ashamed of themselves. What a disgrace.
