Pop singer - "Am I a car?": Cyndi Lauper is bothered by questions about age
Cyndi Lauper grumbles about being asked about her age. In an interview with the "Rheinische Post," she stated that this question comes up frequently. "It's like a box you're put in, and then people have certain expectations about how you're supposed to behave: At this age, you have to do this and that."
When Lauper is asked about her age, she responds: "What do you think I am, a car?" It's about art and not about age. The question about age is sexism. "Age is a category used to keep us small."

In her hit "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" from 1983, she criticized sexism: "If women want to have fun, they're quickly dismissed. That's different for men."
In February of the coming year, Lauper plans to come to Germany with her "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour" for two concerts in Düsseldorf and Berlin. The "Rheinische Post" reported that she plans to no longer go on large arena tours after that. Instead, she wants to work on a Broadway musical.
