She put out some good music in her time, a signature of the 80s. Maybe if she had stayed out of wrestling, it would be easier to take her seriously. More recently, she came out with an album of classic songs, stuff you might here in piano lounges today. Basically a last stab at staying famous.

Come on, this girl just wants to have fun? How is anyone taking her seriously?

I don't take her seriously, but I had to give her some stars, because she sang the theme song on the introduction to Pee Wee's Playhouse in the 1980s (uncredited). Her rendition of that song was masterful, and very funny.

I have enjoyed her music in the past quite a bit. I also thought she did a pretty decent acting job when she played Ira's ex on Mad About You. She should have pursued that avenue more.

If you are a true fan of Cyndi Lauper and understand her art and where she is coming from, you will take her very seriously. She has shed much of that goofy image of the 80's while still maintaining an excellent sense of humor and has a lot to say.
