My kids always tease me about it and call him Barry "Fartilow"!!!
So ironic, my friend and I are probably going to go to Vegas in Oct....she called me at work today to tell me that Barry's only concert this year is going to be in Vegas....but Jun 5!!!! It was on The View this morning I think.
Last year we went to see him....and had main floor, like 3rd row center in a small venue....I got awesome pics!!!!!!
Barry Manilow and Clay Aiken..Barry has been all over tv this week promoting his new 2 Nights Live cd..it's a 2 cd set with a lot of his 'old standbys'..and 6 new songs..and I love it..I own every single cd he has ever made including the imports..granted..as he's getting older..his voice is getting a little weak sounding on some of the songs on this cd..but he will always be my favorite!
HA HA! My good friend in high school was obsessed with him, and I would make SO much fun!!! Of course this was in the late '80s and early '90s when grunge was about to become all the rage.
Me! I saw him twice in concert when I was in college (many years ago... ). He puts on a fabulous show. I still love his music today; picked up a Greatest Hits CD a couple of months ago. I've got a couple of his albums (vinyl) around here somewhere, too.
I've always been uncool enough to love Barry. It was my dirty little secret in HS 15 years ago but now I am secure enough in myself to admit to the world that I love him! I made it through the rain!
