He writes the songs, he writes the songs

I have never understood the draw of Barry Manilow. I like to sing Copacabana at the top of my lungs as much as the next person, but there's no way I could sit through a Barry Manilow concert without creatively trying to kill myself with my stadium seat.

It's bad enough I saw Air Supply in concert and lived to tell the sad tale.

Still, I think it's strangely tragic and hilariously funny that Barry broke his nose and knocked himself unconscious by walking into a wall in the middle of the night.

Do you know how hard you'd have to slam into a wall to break your own nose and pass out for four hours? That just doesn't seem possible.

I read that article earlier..I damn near snarfed my coffee. You're right, one would have to hit the wall hard to break a nose but with his beak...maybe a light tap could have done it.

and yes, actually, i do. sadly, once when i was sick, I darted from my bed in the middle of the night in order to not yak on myself and when i flung open the door, it bounced off the wall and came back...as i was going through it. I whacked the side of the door (the skinny edge), head on...knocked myself backwards onto the floor and passed out.

and i was naked.

Uhm in his defense it is a pretty damn big nose LOL

Hmmm, when I've walked into walls, it's mainly been my shoulder, as though I have no sense of "clearance room". I've never knocked myself out, though.

i have 2 theories - either the divine miss m or his boyfriend punched barry in the face, and he had to come up w/ some explanation. OR he's finally getting a nose job, and this is his deflection instead of just admitting, "hey! i'm getting plastic surgery, folks!"

I've always thought "I Write the Songs" was one of the most pretentious pieces of fluff ever sung. And Barry didn't even write it!

I write the songs, indeed.

I will admit that I find myself tapping my fingers to the beat whenever I hear Copacabana. Hey, after all, that's where music and passion were always in fashion.

Anam fished on June 4, 2003 03:01 PM

Hmmm... can you say secret nose job?

HA Ha That was the funnies thing I ever read. I started laughing out loud, so all my co-workers were looking at me like I was crazy! It was great!
