Pop maven Cyndi Lauper wowed a sold-out crowd at the Orange Peel on Sunday, Nov. 28. Rich Orris was there and caught her, along with the fantastic openers The Ferocious Few.
Check out the rest of Orris’ photos for Xpress here.

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

Maven? Lets not get crazy here…
Beware goyim, or non New Yorkers, using Yiddish.
So, bubula, while you’re kvetching about the shiksa’s use of maven, maybe you could enlighten the rest of the goyim about its proper meaning, nu? Where is Steve Samuels when you need him.
Di greste narishkayt fun a nar iz az er meynt az er is klug.
This yenta and shegetz is farmisht.
However, der vos farshteyt zayn narishkayt iz a kluger mensch
Vay iz mir, how can a yenta also be a shaygetz? Who’s the yenta? Who’s the shaygetz, boychik?
Dear Bupkis,
Gai kukken afen yam!
Oy vey, Bupkis. First of all, I said I was farmisht. Secondly, a shegetz can be a yenta. (You’re the one that’s fartumit about that.) And thirdly, I think you’re verging on insulting the transgender community, pisher.
