I was in Vegas earlier this year, and we (pseudo-ironic drunken eedjits that we were) very seriously considered the offer of some off-peak off-season tickets to Barry at $150 each. We also got offered some tickets to see Penn & Teller, at $85 a go.
We went to see Penn & Teller.

13Grandma rock.
Not that there is anything wrong with grandmas. They just seem to like Barry Manilow a lot. At least the ones I've had.

Manilow's hits from the mid-70s are about as great as easy listening gets - these are beautifully written, well-aranged songs that totally deliver the goods (exhibit A: "Weekend In New England"). Having said that, he has also sung some shockers. It's been received wisdom for a long time that Barry Manilow is a figure of fun and a byword for all that's lame about piano balladry, so it's hard to disassociate that from the actual music.
I like the way this guy thinks. Welcome to the board, Encalmo.

15My mom used to play the shit out of a couple Barry cassettes back in the day.
These cassettes were a beautiful shade of blue!
The song "This Ones for You" makes me feel as if I have a fever. So slow. Almost psychedlic in it's slow-hood.
Sometimes I sneak a listen to Barry songs just to relive strange childhood memories.
Crap.

I fly to Vegas, too, for big mucky muck sales meeting! Two days of crap! I think "Oh, I go see Penn & Teller!" Funny magicians, say "fuck" a lot! Then I call about tickets! No magic on Mondays! No magic on Tuesdays! Then I call about Barry! Barry on six-week tour! First day back is day I leave!
Instead, salespeople take us to Jimmy Buffett place. I see "performance" of "Margaritaville" three times. CRAP!
