\"\"<\/a>While I was working nightshift last week, to stay awake I made a list of scenes, movements and styles Cher has been involved with over the decades. This is kind of a piggy-back to the music legitimacy article I did last week<\/a> and thinking about prior categories I might have missed. But also thinking beyond music. Here it is:<\/p>\n

– Part of the mid-1960s Southern California Pop scene with the Mamas and the Papas, the Byrds, the Beach Boys, the Turtles and the Association<\/p>\n

– A member of Phil Spector’s Gold Star Studios circle<\/p>\n

– Records made with The Wrecking Crew<\/p>\n

– One of the first records made at Muscle Shoals Recording Studio<\/p>\n

– A top participant in the Golden Age of Variety Television<\/p>\n

– Worked with comedy-television icon, producer George Schlatter and his slate of shows<\/p>\n

– First Met Gala fashion Icon<\/p>\n

– A Vogue cover girl in the Richard Avedon era<\/p>\n

– The Crown Jewel of Bob Mackie<\/p>\n

– A hot ticket in Old Las Vegas in the late 1970s (the Sinatra\/Barely-Post-Elvis Vegas)<\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Part of the Studio 54 scene<\/p>\n

– A late-allowed MTV participant but made MTV history with a pretty tame video that was banned from daytime MTV (while in her 40s!)<\/p>\n

– Acted under the iconic auteur directors of the 1960s and 1970s: Robert Altman, Mike Nichols, Peter Bogdanovich, Peter Yates, Norman Jewison and Franco Zeffirelli<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>– Infomercial Queen
\nCan I just say I still love the infomercials and I may be the only one. In a recent bio-drama, I heard the statement made that Cher had fought so hard for acting respectability and then blew it with these. But did she fight so hard for respectability?\u00a0 I thought that was what the whole thumbing her nose at the Academy with the 1986 dress was about. Why wouldn\u2019t she thumb her nose at them again with infomercials? Unless you only thumb your nose as an outsider? I am totally fine with Cher going off-script with these postmodern delights.<\/p>\n

– Auto-tune ground zero (while in her 50s!)<\/p>\n

– Spearheading the big circus live show before subsequent fierce divas followed suit (while in her 50s and 60s!)<\/p>\n

–\u00a0 Newly sainted and recurring Icon Award recipient (while in her 70s!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the bio-drama mentioned above Josiah Howard can be seen talking about how long Cher has been famous and how she has become part of everybody’s cultural memory because, \u201cwe remember it all.\u201d She has become time itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
