Submissions:
Concert Reviews: We
want to include an array of descriptions and fan reviews of past Cher tours. Did you
see the Heart of Stone Tour? The Take Me Home Tour? The Allman & Woman Tour? Did
you attend any of the Sonny & Cher concerts during the '60s and '70s? Tell us about
them! Anybody got any pics from these shows we could run in the 'zine? Do you remember
what tickets cost? Still got your ticket stubs? Send us scans of those if you can, or at
least tell us what you paid for your seat. Did you see Cher in concert outside the U.S.?
Let us know how seeing Cher in concert affected you. Fill us in -- remember, we want vivid
details! -- on what she wore during the show(s) you saw and what her song list was
for that tour.
Essays: Looking for not necessarily scholarly but thought-provoking Cher
essays...give up your crazy theories about Ted Zeigler, Harold Battiste, or
Snuff Garrett...explore you inner fan. Ever notice any Cher-trends before
unmentioned? Craig T. Nelson in Cher movies? Talk about the TV shows, the music, the
movies, the infomercials (which I think are a post-modern thrill, a talk show, a
commercial, all things rolled into one...anyone else?) the fashion, the CD-ROM game
Nine. Are you a Cher doll expert? Do you have a quirky Cher sub-collection?
Poems: Gotta love Cher poems!
