Sorry to burst your bubble, but Manilow is a left wing Obama lover as well...and I did so love his music!
Barry Manilow? Get real. This is the guy that refused to go on the View unless Elizabeth Hasselbeck was absent.
Barry’s own words: I wanted to let you know that I will no longer be on The View tomorrow as scheduled. I had made a request that I be interviewed by Joy, Barbara or Whoopi, but not Elisabeth Hasselback (sic). Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request so I bowed out. It’s really too bad because I’ve always been a big supporter of the show, but I cannot compromise my beliefs. The good news is that I will be on a whole slew of other shows promoting the new album so I hope you can catch me on those.
