The home for Songs That Saved Your Life Radio on WKNY 107.9FM where Jami explores the very queer roots of rock n roll and plays a lot of great music!
Marking Cyndi Lauper’s Rock Hall induction and her decades of queer advocacy.
One of my favorite queer allies was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year so it felt like the right time to celebrate Cyndi Lauper on Songs That Saved Your Life Radio. her music has been a lifeline for misfits, queer kids, and anyone who’s ever felt unseen. This episode looks at how she turned her art into action, how she fought for LGBTQ+ lives, and how her spirit still echoes through the artists she inspired. It’s gonna be a bop y’all - a SHE BOP.
Music in this episode includes songs by Prince, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Chappell Roan, Santigold, Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson, Janet Jackson, Robyn, and many more.
