Star-Crossed Nuke Crosses Stars With La Lauper

"Hey youse guys! You make a cute couple!"

True Colors heroine Cyndi Lauper makes a guest appearance singing her new hit "Into the Nightlife" at Oakdale's Gay Pride today, Thursday, July 3. Oakdale. As in As the World Turns Oakdale. As in CBS ATWT, 1pm on local affiliate KEYE-42.

The CBS soap has been lauded for its sensitive portrayal of sensitive fellas Luke & Noah aka Nuke. La Laup is slated to appear for the small town's Gay Pride and as an added bonus to help the young lovers find their "true colors." (Heliotrope? Burnt Sienna? Hopbush? Doubt it. Madang? We can only hope.)

News of this appearance whisked us back to our halcyon college days (though we remember them to be a bit, errrr, em "peppier" than anything glazed by Halcion...), when our minds were totally blown that our beloved B'z, the B-52's would appear and play on Guiding Light. You kids these days, all's you have to do to see your stars is kiss a fricken satellite. We had to walk miles in the snow to see ours. MTV was but an infant cable add-on, and rock music was still a li'l too randy for network TV. You kids.

Anyhoo, there's this newfangled gadget here, called The YouTube, see, and you can see with your own eyes pret much anything in the recorded universe. So we include this slice of the real 80s here for your anthropologic curiosity and academic delight.

Whoa! Nice bow, Alexis Carrington!

P.S. For you dedicated followers of Gay Place (hello, you two!), our True Colors clips are not so great but we will still post them along with an entry about our trip to see the tour in Houston in an upcoming blog post. Keep on clickin' on.
