Cyndi Lauper at the Melody Tent in Hyannis, even sitting behind the tallest manly couple on the Cape that night who thankfully spent most of the concert slouched in their beers and not each other so the view to the stage was clear, was some fun. Mina and Evan, asking each other "who are those guys", and wearing too many rainbow chainlink bracelets given to them by the loud boys in the back row ... enjoying their time ... flowing there in the serious arc of Cyndi’s vocals, seemingly not hampered by her cold, alternately powering and sliding everywhere conceivable, from arty teasing duets with guitar harmonics in "Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood" to the pure mean banging rock of "Money Changes Everything" ... that’s what I said . Mina and Evan wondering what would happen the next time they saw the sky ... and never once imagining that too bright cerulean would be hung over Carnival 2004 in somebody else’s dream of Provincetown the next day among the plastic beaded fishnet boa throngs that were "FantaSea" after they took a wrong turn trying to get back on the mid-cape highway in a too dark night once Cyndi was done.
