AS Goober used to say......
surprise, surprise............
Saw his partner's picture yesterday. Looks like Barry has been living with a very young man.
Can we say Barry is a Cougar?!

One of the darkest secrets of my life is that I've always tapped my foot to Copacabana. I keep that on the Down Low.  Screw that. I dance and sing very loudly. and badly. While I'm wearing a dress cut down to there with faded feathers in my hair. and drink myself half blind.

I considered him being gay a no-brainer. But I'm curious why everyone else assumed he was gay since he never came out publicly.

I don't believe I ever thought about it. My mom loves him and has a CD playing like 24/7. All I could think is I just wanted it to stop.

AKA the 80's, I was singing (poorly) along to one of his songs in my boyfriend's car and he looked at me and said, :You know he's totally gay don't you?" and that was that. |

Surprised.....not
My kids went to a church sponsored private school that was VERY socially conservative about gay people (something I don't agree with, nor do my kids). The used to play YMCA at halftime during football games. Crowd would get up and do the YMCA dance. I just used to chuckle thinking about the Village People and why they were singing about the YMCA!

I can remember my mom going on and on about Johnny Mathis. Finally my Dad had enough and told her he was gay, although he didn't use that word. I had no clue what that was but I do remember thinking Johnny Mathis was not going to ride up like a knight in shining armor and sweep my mom off her feet.

I thought Barry came out a long time ago. Maybe it was just the worst kept secret in show biz...

Hey I don't care what you're doing or who you're doing as long as it isn't illegal or me.

I wondered if that was you I saw downtown the other night.  You still had your briefcase, which kinda gave you away. I was always a Barry Manilow fan. Still always will be. For that matter, I am still crushing on George Michael, and he is gay and dead.  Not a good day when I found out George was playing for the other side. Still loved him anyway. |

Lyrics to Barry Manalow songs take up a significant amount of space in my brain, along with those from Billy Joel and a bunch of other singers.
I would be so freaking smart if I had all that brain space left! Anyone know of a way of defragging your brain?

I would be so freaking smart if I had all that brain space left! Anyone know of a way of defragging your brain? I wish I did. I can recall lyrics from 30 years ago up to newer releases, dialogue from bad 70's movies and a ton of book passages, but I can't remember why I got up and went to the garage. I'm fully convinced I'm rapidly getting stupider the older I get. At this point I'm considering whacking myself in the head with a sledgehammer and hoping I'll get amnesia and can start over. 😁 |

Well, who would have ever thought that Barry Manilow was gay? The shock of that ranks right up there with Liberace...  I think this whole "celebrities coming out" thing can stop now because 1 - its never really a surprise, and 2 - nobody cares. |
