I have always loved Cher. I've seen her perform several times & the best line I ever heard was when she came out on stage in one of her fabulous, almost there costumes & asked us, "What's your granny doing tonight?" Cher gives us an opportunity to do whatever we want, because she learned long ago the rules never applied to her - or any woman - UNLESS we let them. I got 4 tattoos, my motorcycle license, 2 motorcycles & dyed my hair purple in my 50s. I always dated younger men - because I'm a nurse with a purse and older men often found the most attractive thing about me was the RN at the end of my name. Younger men could 'keep up'. And perhaps it takes a 37 year-old-man to keep up with Cher. Either way - more power to her (them) because Cher never played by 'the rules'. Thanks for writing this - I loved it & damn near highlighted all of it! ;)
