Subject: RE: RUN - BARRY MANILOW IS BACK!!!!!I'll admit it too- when I was little I was a member of the BMIFC. The Barry Manilow International Fan Club. I had his poster. I made up plays where I'd sing his songs. I wrote him a letter and asked him to come to my house when he was in Boston (luckily my dad made a photocopy so I could see it when I got older ). On the back I drew a big heart that said AV + BM - nice, huh?
I have to say though that this was not my fault. My best friend told me she loved Barry Manilow (we were in third grade - obviously she learned this form her parents ) I didn't know who he was and thought she meant Billy Joel, so to be cool I said, "Well, my brother loves him too and we have EVERY album." Then I got home and realized that we didn't have even one Barry Manilow album. I am sure my mom was compoletey confused when I told her that I, too, loved Barry Manilow and we had to go get his albums.
One of the sweetest things my mom did when I was little was to get on the phone a million times a day and try to win me tickets to the Barry Manilow concert! |
