I laughed at that. I wish I could. But that&#8217;s the cross a scholar bears.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s more overview of the love:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Cher fan said<br \/>\nshe was coolest person ever since he can remember (<em>Watch What Happens<\/em>\/Andy Cohen)<\/li>\n<li>Andy Cohen said as a kid he watched <em>The Cher Show <\/em>and &#8220;when she came down the<br \/>\nramp, life, hope, goose bumps, gave me fairy dust, inspiration&#8221; came too. He said Cher<br \/>\nwas putting to bed all the kids in America. (<em>Watch What Happens<\/em>\/Andy Cohen)<\/li>\n<li>Anderson Cooper said he grew up adoring Cher\u2014and<br \/>\nhis mom (Gloria Vanderbilt) said Cher was her<br \/>\nfantasy daughter. Kelly Ripa is also a fan. One caller said he had to get high<br \/>\nto talk to Cher (<em>Watch What Happens<\/em>\/Andy Cohen)<\/li>\n<li>Dan Taylor called her the female artist of rock<br \/>\nand roll, the iconic lady (WCBS).<\/li>\n<li>On Sirius\/XM radio&#8217;s Studio54 channel, the hosts Marc Benecke and Myra Scheer were very<br \/>\nexcited. (I just got a new car so have free XM for 3 months or something&#8211;whohoo!). In<br \/>\ntheir intro, they played \u201cThe Shoop Shoop Song,\u201d \u201cBelieve,\u201d Turn Back Time,\u201d and<br \/>\n\u201cWoman\u2019s World\u201d clips. On the Town Hall interview with Cher,<br \/>\n(the inaugural), Myra noted that she was Steve Rubell\u2019s executive assistant at Studio 54 in New York City.<br \/>\nThey called her major star, a guiding star, a role model with 250 world-wide<br \/>\nawards in music, TV and film, including a Golden Globe, an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy,<br \/>\nand a hit song in every decade \u201csince 1910\u201d Cher joked. At the first break,<br \/>\nthey played \u201cTake Me Home\u201d (and noted the song was on the Studio 54 album). The next<br \/>\nbreak \u201cTurn Back Time.\u201d The next break \u201cI Found Someone\u201d (and here a salamander<br \/>\ncrawled up our faux-bedrock wall and stopped to listen). The next break \u201cBelieve,&#8221; \u201cStrong<br \/>\nEnough\u201d next and during the final break \u201cWomen\u2019s World.\u201d Many of New York\u2019s straight men asked questions<br \/>\nduring this interview and I love how straight men in NYC love her. You don&#8217;t see this so much in LA and the Midwest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Candidness: <\/strong>Cher seemed so much less guarded in her face, body, and with her words.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The New<br \/>\nYork Times<\/em> said what they used to say about her in the 1980s, \u201cIn this age<br \/>\nof rigidly controlled star-bots, no topic seemed to be off-limits (except her<br \/>\nrelationship status).\u201d<\/li>\n<li>She appeared on <em>The Today Show<\/em> with Savannah Guthrie, (perky like Katie<br \/>\nCouric) and was so nice and comfortable in her PJs. After the interview,<br \/>\nGuthrie gushed about Cher to her co-anchors, calling Cher<br \/>\nan unassuming charmer. I was impressed how easily Guthrie could kid with her.<\/li>\n<li>On Z100, the DJ played \u201cDoes Cher Care\u201d asking Cher irreverent questions about Paula Dean (Cher feels she\u2019s not<br \/>\nmisunderstood, just wrong), Sandra Bullock\u2019s new movie trailer: is it<br \/>\noverexposed, will it be good? Is Cher even interested (Cher said it looks<br \/>\ncool), about the never-ending cupcake craze (Cher said it sucked to begin with and<br \/>\nprefers Hostess cupcakes), should Snowden be punished or kicked out of China\/Russia?<br \/>\n(Cher said this was above her pay grade).<\/li>\n<li>Andy Cohen launched CherMaggedon with a plethora<br \/>\nof games, including Truth or Cher\u2014the Truth<br \/>\nquestion being who her greatest lovers were (She said they\u2019d all been<br \/>\nexceptional. Andy said \u201cThat\u2019s a list!\u201d and she answered, \u201cNot a long list but a<br \/>\ngood list.\u201d He got her to admit Tom Cruise in the top 5 when prompted). In the<br \/>\nDare, Andy Cohen quoted <em>Moonstruck<\/em><br \/>\nand asked Cher to slap him while saying &#8220;Snap<br \/>\nout of it.&#8221; In another segment Gypsies Tramps and Tea, Andy Cohen asked for<br \/>\nCher\u2019s opinion on: Elvis (didn\u2019t know him), Whitney (didn\u2019t know her), Nick<br \/>\nCage (he\u2019s crazy but I love him), Meryl (my idol), Phil Spector (he\u2019s crazy and<br \/>\nonly paid me $25 for a year\u2019s work), Michael Jackson (I have TMI!), Tom Cruise (He wasn\u2019t<br \/>\na scientologist then and they were hot and heavy for a minute), ever having a lesbian lover?<br \/>\n(who hasn\u2019t). She said she stole a horse when I was 13 and took it to Santa Ana. If she could<br \/>\nmeet anyone? She\u2019d ask Jesus \u201cDude, what\u2019s the deal?\u201d Her favorite decade was the<br \/>\n80s (so much fun, could go naked swimming). On her bucket list? (I thought she said to build<br \/>\nBalobgese house but is that right??). Her best movie role was <em>Moonstruck<\/em>.<br \/>\nDoes she have a boyfriend? (The moment anyone knows, you don\u2019t have one; so she<br \/>\nkeeps that on the low down now\u2014that&#8217;s a great answer actually). For the Jackal of the Night: Cher picked Senator Ted Cruise because he\u2019s an a-hole who<br \/>\ndoesn\u2019t like gays or foreigners. According to Andy, the show said &#8220;Cher&#8221; 29 times \u2013 which was a record.<\/li>\n<li>During Andy Cohen\u2019s Aftershow, he asked her what<br \/>\nsent she would use for a scented candle (Uninhibited); she says she watches<br \/>\nCNN\/MSNBC. Anderson Cooper made a surprise appearance and said Cher calls in all the time to help people but low key (that she did so<br \/>\nwith Hurricane Katrina). They asked her about the Supreme Court decision on gay<br \/>\nmarriage (about time, she said) and they tried to play Kiss, Marry, Shag with<br \/>\nher (with Quaid who she\u2019d say she\u2019d marry and Nicholson &amp; Cage but she<br \/>\nnever finished the list.) They ran a Hair Chertrospective at the end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cher was great fun through all these shenanigans.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<a class=\"asset-img-link\" style=\"float: left;\" href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef0192ac1ef23b970d-popup\"><br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"asset-img-link\" style=\"float: right;\" href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef0192ac1ef2c2970d-popup\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341d6c7753ef0192ac1ef2c2970d\" style=\"width: 150px; margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;\" title=\"Womanssingle\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef0192ac1ef2c2970d-150wi.jpg?w=676&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Womanssingle\" \/><\/a>The New Album:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On Live Chat NY, Cher<br \/>\nsaid the video wouldn\u2019t be released until September (which is very strange since<br \/>\na video might have helped the single). Cher<br \/>\nsaid the newspaper wig was her wigmakers idea and kinda a nightmare. She said<br \/>\nher favorite songs on the album are \u201cLie to Me\u201d (a Pink song), \u201cMy Love\u201d (a<br \/>\nfuture single), Take It Like a Man\u201d (a future single), and Dressed to Kill.\u201d<br \/>\nShe said she recorded \u201cWoman\u2019s World\u201d in an hour (on Z100 she said the song sang itself) and<br \/>\nshe co-wrote the song \u201cLovers Forever\u201d which is actually old and was written for the movie<br \/>\n<em>Interview with a Vampire<\/em>. She said<br \/>\nthe album has dance, rock and ballads and she hopes it will generate three videos.<\/li>\n<li>On Z100 Cher said recording is still scary and<br \/>\ntenuous and she is not Cher fan, that recording studios are not her favorite place to be, that she feels more confident<br \/>\non stage (where I shine) because she feels she\u2019s a good entertainer (vs. a singer).<\/li>\n<li>To Andy Cohen, Cher<br \/>\nsaid Lady Gaga didn\u2019t like their duet but that she felt it was good. Cher said this was her best album and her best songs and she loved that she didn\u2019t have to lower her keys.<\/li>\n<li>WCBS noted that this is her 26<sup>th<\/sup><br \/>\nalbum. She said here it was very eclectic with dance, ballads, a country song, and<br \/>\nsome funky banjo in one song and a U2-sounding 9\/11 song called \u201cSirens.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>On XM she talked about the writing of \u201cWoman\u2019s<br \/>\nWorld.\u201d As she said in &#8220;Believe&#8221;-era interviews, there&#8217;s no overt personal connection to the song. She said the writer was a guy and<br \/>\nhis idea was that women are strong and now demand their rights. (In this light,<br \/>\nI think the setup suffers from slight condescension, which isn\u2019t the writer\u2019s fault, but a generational interpretation, ex: we don&#8217;t need men to tell us this.) Myra said the song was<br \/>\nvery \u201cI Will Survive of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century.\u201d (I thought that label should<br \/>\nhave been applied to the song \u201cStrong Enough\u201d with its 1970s sound). Cher<br \/>\nsaid the song was like \u201cBelieve\u201d in that she didn\u2019t like the second verse,<br \/>\nwhich was too similar to \u201cBelieve.\u201d Cher said<br \/>\nshe won\u2019t cry twice, which is why in &#8220;Believe&#8221; she added the more empowering line: \u201cMaybe<br \/>\nI\u2019m too good for you.\u201d She wants to show that women are resilient. Myra said although Cher<br \/>\ndidn\u2019t write it, she owned it.

They were in the living room listening<br \/>\nto KFWB and had all been calling on all their phones to the radio station to get it played. Cher said it was an out of body experience with everybody<br \/>\nscreaming when the song came on. They said they all wanted to go to the Cadillac<br \/>\ndealership with bag full of money and buy a Cadillac.<\/li>\n<li>On XM, Cher<br \/>\nsaid she hasn\u2019t a clue about her longevity in the business. She agreed with a<br \/>\nfan that she liked the \u201cWalking in Memphis\u201d<br \/>\nvideo and was the first to play Elvis. (Like originally?

Myra calls her fearless. Cher said you evolve. Mark said she has communication<br \/>\nwith audience. Cher said she is likable. She<br \/>\nsaid her most memorable moment was winning the Oscar. It was amazing to her since<br \/>\nit took so long to get an acting job. She said Robert Altman was such a rebel. Mike Nichols told her when he saw the Saturday matinee about the<br \/>\ncharacter of Dolly that they couldn\u2019t find anyone for the role before they found Cher and so they we were just gonna<br \/>\nwrite her out; Mike said, \u201cShe\u2019s a lesbian, but really lovely.\u201d A fan asked if<br \/>\nshe would do more musicals?

She loved that her<br \/>\nfriend said her hair on <em>The Voice<\/em><br \/>\nlooked like a chicken from the 4H club. She says she has a \u00a0good humor about it. But she said the outfit<br \/>\nand wig didn\u2019t translate on the show (I agree: too many cuts and closeups). Cher said art should provoke conversation, not that she<br \/>\ncan say my hair was art, but she was going for Luxe Punk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Concerts:<br \/>\n<a class=\"asset-img-link\" style=\"float: right;\" href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef01901e5fc17f970b-popup\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341d6c7753ef01901e5fc17f970b\" style=\"width: 150px; margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;\" title=\"Helen-Mirren\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef01901e5fc17f970b-150wi.jpg?w=676&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Helen-Mirren\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On LiveChat NY, Cher talked about<br \/>\nher first live appearance in bowling alley and Sonny pushing her on stage.

The women in audience<br \/>\nreally seem into it. Cher smiles a lot and<br \/>\nthrows out sultry looks. She did lip sync but in the bootleg pre-tape, you can<br \/>\nhear her singing. She comments about dressing age-appropriate (not quite yet; age appropriate would be dressing like Helen Mirren above&#8230;can you believe they&#8217;re less than a year apart in age?).

You&#8217;re not just there to boss them around. But teenagers<br \/>\nare crazy. You need to guide them more because you worry about them all the time.
