“Cyndi Lauper will be around for a long time,” says Paul Grein, an editor at Billboard. “Madonna will be out of the business in six months. Her image has completely overshadowed her music.”
From Time Magazine, March 4, 1985.

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
