I'm talking about Barry Manilow here people!: Haven't Updated in awhile....

and I figured I would, update you on some news in Manilow land.

Let's see:
As if you didn't ALREADY know Barry is going to be in Philly on September 8th and on September 9th he's going to be in Boston.

The 70's Album will be out soon, 1 month 12 days 23 hours and 6 minutes.
I heard "It Never Rains in Southern California" via video. Let me tell you, IT'S AMAZING!!! I wanted to run (which trust me I do not enjoy) to his house and give him a hug! I don't think I've heard the song before but I'm going to find it and download the orginal. Then he's doing one of my favorite songs, "Sailing" by Rod Stewart, it's such a beautiful song, so I'm sure he'll do great on it and it will be fabulous!
Then the soon to be famous duet with Rosie O'Donnell. Am I the only one freaking out about that? I'm sorry I love Rosie as a comedian but once she goes off into lezbian-rightious-political-all knowing-bitch mode, I can't stand her. And I heard her sing before, you know the Christmas song, was it horrible? No. Was it great? No, not even close. It wasn't even good, Barry's singing was, Rosie not so much.

So what else, what else? Oh I guess I'll post the track list.
