On the virtues of randomly bursting into song

Last Friday, the 4th, Buenos Aires airport was rife with cancellations and delays. We've all been there and can imagine the scene: uncomfortable airport chairs, weird airport-smell, awful airport food, and you're stuck there for hours with a huge crowd of reeking strangers...

Except that one of the passengers whose flight got cancelled was Cyndi Lauper, and she commandeered the announcer's mike, launched into "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and invited people to sing along.

CYNDI LAUPER, people. How glorious.

nice.

OMGWTFBBQ AWESOME! I was always a Cyndi Lauper partisan in the great Cyndi vs. Madonna wars of the 80s. She just seemed like so much more fun!

Yet another day when I'm forced to question how we're not the same person.

Throw kit in the mix, and I'm totally fucking lost.

Choked up watching that.

How well I remember the day when you all decided to wear each other's clothes just to confuse me.

(Hey there! Good to see you around.)

Something like that happening almost makes it worth it to be delayed for hours in Buenos Aires. ...Almost.

She's got one of those voices, hasn't she? Absolutely her own and absolutely honest.

Wait, what? How was I not there for that?

Also, Cappy, it's MY TURN for the brain this week. Give it back!
