For years, my parents have been telling me about a performance by Cyndi Lauper at a Joni Mitchell tribute concert that they saw on TV. They were blown away by the performance and it had become legendary in my mind, though I'd never seen it. The other day, I finally had the presence of mind to look it up on YouTube. It was easy to find and, boy, did it deliver. The performance is astonishing, almost wrenching in its intensity and beauty. She really mined that song for all it was worth. I got shivers and felt tears spring to my eyes several times. Check it out.
