Storm halts We Love NYC Homecoming Concert mid-Barry Manilow performance
New York Post ^ | Aug 21, 2021

New York City’s “Homecoming” concert at Central Park was abruptly halted in the middle of Barry Manilow’s performance Saturday evening — as lightning storms tied to approaching Hurricane Henri descended on the Big Apple.

Concertgoers were told at 7:37 p.m. to “proceed to your vehicles and protected areas outside of the event center” as Manilow was singing his 1978 hit “Can’t Smile Without You.”

I have a cousin who has written songs that were recorded by Barry Manilow.

Everybody talks about the rain storm in that concert yet few talk about the marauding “gangs of youths” that followed it.

(this was after they were called “wolf packs” and before the term “wilding” came in to prominence)

Oh, Henri
Well, you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Henri
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Henri

Pretty sure bend over Berry lives out in Palm Springs CA these days with the rest of the 50% gay population. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I guess the 78 year old Bidenesque geriatric will grab gigs where he can and proclaim he was once a Brooklyn resident.

Homer: Oh Mindy, you came and you gave without flaking, But I sent you Ben Gay. Oh Andy, you kissed me and stopped me from something, And I..

Lisa: Judging from your song, you're infatuated with a woman named Mindy... or a man named Andy.

I think it’s funny that nobody, I mean nobody, likes Barry Manilow or his music. Yet there are several comments with his lyrics and song titles in them, everybody knows who he is, and he sold about a kabillion records in the 70s.

“I think it’s funny that nobody, I mean nobody, likes Barry Manilow or his music.”

I have a Christmas album of his that I really like.

Good stuff.

You know I’ve used “his collection of Barry Manilow 8 track cartridges” in some of my gags here about Biden being out of touch. Never thought he was still able to perform (in a manner of speaking).

Remember it well. The NYPD commandeered city busses to head off the thugs.

Back in the day when guys in drag was entertainment and not a lifestyle I knew a guy whose friends were going to a Halloween party dressed as The Supremes so this guy decided to go as Diana Ross with a Sequin dress, wig, and stuffed bra.

He stopped to get some gas on the way there and a guy at another pump started cat calling him, “Oh, baby, you look fine! What’s your name?”

He turns around and in his near baritone voice says, “My name is James”. Said the other guy was speechless.
