Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Ohio mentioned the concert that the President hosted with PBS and the Grammys on Tuesday, and did a poor imitation, I guess, of Justin Timberlake on ``(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay.'' It was a phenomenal shout-out to Memphis music; and while there were a lot of great performers there, I want to put a particular shout-out to Ms. Cyndi Lauper because she's special. She did another Otis Redding song, ``Try a Little Tenderness,'' and it was a phenomenal performance. I would suggest to some of my colleagues on other side of the aisle that they ought to try a little tenderness on occasion. Ms. Lauper is special. She did an album called ``Memphis Blues'' in 2010. It was one of the best albums of the year. It brought blues back. She had Memphians B.B. King and Ann Peebles and Charlie Musselwhite on the album. She's a phenomenal lady, and I give a special shout-out to Cyndi Lauper and Memphis music. ____________________”
