The singer, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and New Yorker, shared her favorite meal of borscht, accompanied by fig and almond tart. During their discussion, Lauper delved into her Sicilian family background, highlighted her chart-topping hits such as \"True Colors\" and \"Girls Just Want To Have Fun,\" and recounted the challenges of creating her documentary, \"Let The Canary Sing.\"\n\nThe interview touched upon the legal dispute with her band, Blue Angel, her preferred New York restaurants like Le Veau d’Or, Lucien, and Frankie's, and her dedication to a charity advocating for women, girls, and LGBTQ+ rights. Lauper shared a poignant moment from the women's demonstration when she saw young girls holding signs that read, \"Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights.\" She expressed her deep connection to that moment, saying, \"Honestly, my kingdom for a seat at this table.\" Lauper's candid conversation with the Wares demonstrated her passion and resilience, leaving listeners in awe of her enduring influence.",
