\"Cherallsleep\"<\/a>Cher Scholar\u2019s friend Christopher came across some Cher references online over the holiday.<\/p>\n

This first piece is about the fact that a love of Cher in the 1970s<\/a> might constitute a clue that young man might be gay.<\/p>\n

Christopher also sent me his ode to the video "We All Sleep Alone<\/a>."  He reminded me that it\u2019s the 30th anniversary of Cher\u2019s 80s comeback. Wah?? I\u2019m so damn old! Christopher calls this era the "Jovi\/Desmond Child" period. I would call it the "Jovi\/Child\/Diane Warren" period although the Warren is lingering. How shall we celebrate it, he asks me knowing full well that this is not my favorite era of Cher and I am not inclined to celebrate it.<\/p>\n

He also wants to commemorate Cher\u2019s big 80s hair of that same period (okay, something I CAN get behind).  Of the \u201cgargantuan\u201d wig she wears in \u201cWe All Sleep Alone\u201d he says, \u201cIt is truly stupendous, particularly as she is wearing it without irony–it is like the greatest, grandest expression of 'Big 80s Hair' I can think of.  The Wilson sisters probably had the biggest real hair, but Cher beats them handily if wigs are factored in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christopher also had some good things to say about the video itself and why it\u2019s his favorite video of Cher\u2019s:<\/p>\n
