Barry Manilow #1 In Billboard. What Is This World Coming Too?

OK, admit it. It’s a long weekend and yet you still are a bit…depressed.  Manilow

If you’re like me (and if you’re reading this you probably are) your funk is in no small part because  your wondering what in hell is going on with the record business when an aging Barry "I Write The (Bad) Songs" Manilow can have the #1 CD in Billboard magazine with a bunch of mediocre songs from the 1950’s. 

Well fortunately we are not alone in our puzzlement. Check out Jody Rosen’s "When Cheeseballs Sing Standards" on Slate.com.

  1. It’s not a long weekend and I am not depressed I just know good music when I hear it. What the hell is going on is that the music industry for maby a breif moment has actually lisitened to the words and not some of this screaming, head banging or rapping mess that most “singers” are spitting out. If Barry Manilow wasn’t good would he be selling out the Las Vegas Hilton every night and haveing the 1# album in the country?. I suggest you lisiten to “The Greatest Songs of the Fifties” and “Here at the Mayflower” Music you can actually enjoy and understand.
