\"Sonnychershow\"<\/a>I mean if you had to give up one thing? Forget the movies for now. Are you Cher Music or Cher TV? I came into this obsession at four or five years old. I have no personal recollection of what came first: the albums or the TV shows. But one thing I do know: the TV shows are much harder to come by.<\/p>\n

Music has its ways: bootlegs, leaks, re-releases. The TV shows have only aired about once a decade, if that. I remember The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour<\/em> first coming back in the 1980s on my local UTF channel, a small spattering of episodes airing on Friday nights. I had no VCR and was forced to tape the shows to cassettes. This meant I had to be home on Friday nights and one night the power went out and I lost my f*cking mind. Yes, this is where the crazy Cher zombie makes an appearance in Cher Scholar.<\/p>\n

When I moved to NYC to attend Sarah Lawrence College to study poetry, the shows came on once again but only through a new channel called TV Land, a channel my stupid Warner Bros cable would not carry until after the series stopped airing entirely. I was only able to nag one friend into taping a handful of episodes for me. This threw me into the jaws of some very friendly bootleggers who have since disappeared into the night.<\/p>\n

The shows have made me a crazy, hot mess. So true to my fate, this headline caused quite a ruckus while I was on vacation: Sonny & Cher and Cher shows returning to TV<\/a>. It's like a lifelong pattern of elation followed by despair. The shows are airing on GetTV starting next Monday, September 12….if you have Dish TV as your cable subscriber. Direct TV viewers are out of luck. <\/p>\n

Luckily, I was out-of-contract with DirectTV but it was a massive soap opera to make the switch because Dish TV does not supply the NFL package or much of a football package worth a dime. Supposedly, according to our Dish installer, (who doesn\u2019t even watch TV and uses Sling TV like a good millennial), Direct TV paid 2 billion dollars to give Direct TV the exclusive on all NFL games. Did you catch that? Mr. Cher Scholar will be out of his Chiefs games on TV!<\/p>\n

It was like Kramer vs. Kramer for a minute in our house. Mr. Cher Scholar\u2019s obsession vs. my obsession. Mr. Cher Scholar eventually volunteered to give up his games on TV because he can still get them online but after his vacation of power washing and being a super son-in-law, this was a huge ask. And I'm sure the lack of football in the house will continue to be very distressing for him.<\/p>\n

New Album?<\/h4>\n

There was also new album news. What kind of album I wonder?<\/p>\n

Believe it: Cher confirms that she is working on brand new music<\/a> (Digital Spy)<\/p>\n

Cher hints at new music release<\/a> (Pink News)<\/p>\n

\"Chercyndi\"<\/a>Fan Finds<\/h4>\n

Cher scholar Jeffrey sent me this, an article I missed on Cher's birthday, 70 reasons to love Cher at 70<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cher scholar Tyler sent me this Elvis-Cher mashup: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oMfNFI5oi4w<\/a><\/p>\n

Cher scholar Michael sent me this recent clip of Cher singing backup for Michael McDonald: https:\/\/youtu.be\/oP6plRUU668<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyndi Lauper was also on the latest cover of AARP. Years ago I was visiting Las Vegas and the husband of a friend of mine living there tried to tell me these stories he believed about Cyndi Lauper and Cher not getting along and about how jealous Cher was of Cyndi and her fans. Well, the decades have proven that story was full of bunk as I knew it was. Not only do Cyndi and Cher continue to work together tour after tour, Cyndi never stops singing Cher\u2019s praises. It\u2019s even evident in this AARP piece which has a lot of great Cyndi material but also ends by saying:<\/p>\n

\u201c[Lauper] has no script for aging gracefully. \u201cIt sucks. That\u2019s it,\u201d she adds, but you get the feeling she\u2019s not really minding it too much. Apparently, she has discussed the matter with another great female music\u2014and fashion\u2014icon who also has no plans to go gentle into that good night. \u201cI really think that when Armageddon comes, it\u2019s gonna be just cockroaches, me and Cher,\u201d Lauper jokes. \u201cAnd we\u2019re gonna do the \u2018End of the World Tour.\u2019 I\u2019ll probably open for her.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A Newish Music Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rocklovestories\"<\/a>My mother-in-law gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I used it to buy a book in their weird coffee-table\/novelty-book section, Rock and Roll Love Stores, True Tales of the Passion and Drama<\/a> <\/em>by Gill Paul published in 2014.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the list (guess how many are Hall of Famers): Johnny Cash, Ike and Tine (not so much a love story), Elvis and Priscilla, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, S&C, George Harrison and Pattie Boyd, John and Yoko, Mike and Marianne Faithful, Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, James Taylor and Carly Simon, Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, Sid and Nancy, and Kurt and Courtney.<\/p>\n

I asked Mr. Cher Scholar to guess the couples in the list and he guessed a bunch who should have but in the book but weren\u2019t included: Paul and Linda, Ringo and Bach, Jerry Lee and Myra (pretty scandalous one as they go), and Tammy Wynette and George Jones.<\/p>\n

The book has interesting things to say about rock love: rock stars don\u2019t seem 'on the whole' great lovers despite every song about love. Long tours, availability of ready sex, drugs, booze, antisocial tendencies, cynicism about monogamy, love perceived as being too square….Does love damage one\u2019s \u201ccool credentials\u201d?<\/p>\n

And did any of these issues apply to S&C?<\/p>\n

It's also interesting that Marianne Faithful and Carly Simon might have been vilified for having multiple partners. Cher always received the obligatory break-out box of boyfriends in magazine articles but I don't feel she was actually vilified. Madonna is listed as the first female performer allowed to flaunt her sexuality. But wasn't Cher the foundation for that?<\/p>\n

Also, glam rock is listed as being camp, with glittery clothing, and presenting a reassessment of gender roles. With that definition, how glam was Cher?<\/p>\n

The book talked about the many ways fans follow their star obsessions, showing interest in their homes, clothes, hairstyles, cars, relationships, personas, and lyrics.<\/p>\n

Fact Checking Fun: <\/strong>The book says Sonny was 2 \u00bd inches shorter than Cher and that Sonny\u2019s dad was a truck driver and played the banjo and accordion. It also states that Cher hated short skirts because her legs were bowed. Is any of that true?<\/p>\n

It does correctly state that S&C popularized bell bottom flares and that Cher was the first to expose navel on TV and that in 1999 she was given an lifetime achievement award by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The book calls her \u201cthe original style queen who blended ethnicity with bling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book also states that Cher once drove Excalibur car, Sonny an Aston Martin and a motorcycle. And that their first TV show had 25 million viewers which represented 35% of the public viewing audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
