I guess you thought that Liberace and Freddy Mercury were MMA Fighters then??
Liberace
I remember being about 7 years old at my grandparents place. He came on a special TV event. They were oblivious I guess. Of course we had to have Lawrence Welk on during dinner. zzzzzzzz

I was a high school kid working in the Ford Dealership right about the time he died. Walked acoss the road for hot dogs and a drink before starting my after school shift. One day I walked to the time clock eating a Chilli dog with onions, all the guys waiting to clock out. The service writer watched me take a bite and said, "That looks like Liberace's dick after he pulled it out of his boyfriend."
Youall didn't know me then, that was a shock to a 16 year old, sheltered kid!🙈🙉🙊
Now I'm the corrupt old bastard aggravating the young punks.
There's the women who want to get laid while Fairy Manilow is crooning,....then there's them that holla when you've got Led Zeppelin's "Trampled Under Foot" in the 8 track.
Back in my younger days I had a "Trampled Under Foot" girlfriend. I shoulda married her. I went through some crazies after I moved on from her.
She liked it to this if you could hit the rhythm and keep it going. It took some stamina--but I was young back then.
She's been married to someone else for quite a while. I should anonymously send him a copy of Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" so he could find out what he's got.
His fans are called Fanilow’s. Maybe a reference to all the F.ags. Saw some concert footage on the news several years ago. Looked like a friggen drag queen show. 🤪
I heard a joke years ago, before Manilow died. It goes. "We live in a world where they kill John Lennon, and Barry Manilow is still alive".
Haha. That's actually a good one. Too bad John Lennon was such a nutbag. The guy could crank out some incredible music. He wasn't lying when he said "Give me a tuba..."
When I was on the west coast of FL, we used to fish Pine Island and Englewood a lot. Checking out the docks could often be productive. There was one house that we used to like to fish around because the owners were always playing good music. For example, the Beatles White album. Pretty enjoyable pitching lures around and under the docks to that wafting across the water.

Barry Manilow? Umm. Yeah, Nah.
Dude,
if I pulled up to a dock to fish it and heard Barry playing loudly I'd have to crank te wheel and goose the throttle hard, not caring if I scared every fish in the harbor for a week

Geno, I hear you. I have no idea who would intentionally sit down and listen to that elevator music garbage. Lol.
Early 90’s I had to fly from Houston to St. Louis then drive to East Alton Illinois. Large Shell Refinery near by, seems like it was Shell owned at the time to look at replacing their control system. I worked for an Industrial Tech company.
Anyway, I checked my country cowboy ass in a Holiday Inn. Went to the Restaurant/Bar to get a beer and something to eat. Food sucked, tasted like Hospital food. Ordered another beer and noticed all these gals coming in the bar. Asked the waitress why everybody coming in all at one time. She pointed to a sign in the corner, it read BARRY MANILOW KARAOKE NIGHT.
I’m like what the hell, with in seconds all these goofy ass Midwestern gals started singing Barry Manilow songs. I couldn’t get out of that place fast enough. They were singing and swaying and rocking out on Barry Manilow.

I graduated with a degree in Music. The college I attended was more than an eye opener.
Honestly, going to school, living, and eating with every color of the rainbow wasn't so bad. By contrast, some varsity football players were complete animals. The worst the Music Theatre Majors would throw at you was listening to A Chorus Line all night long.
One thing you learned in this environment was that everyone in the music school had connections. If you really cared who was screwing who in Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, you just had to listen to the conversation. Of course, it went way beyond that, and with gay lifestyle in the late 70s being so wide open, you heard of every rumor from every corner of the entertainment industry as well as a lot of political figures.
As a for-instance, this was where I first learned that Gary Burghoff of M.A.S.H. had only half a hand.
Barry Manilow? Dang, asking about him would get a major laugh-- almost as much as Neil Sedaka.
Worked his show a couple of time 40 years ago. He didn't want the crew to look at him. During the show I was running a front of house spotlight and I asked the LD who was calling cues how I was supposed to pick BM up if we can't look at him, big laugh. Crew called him Barely Manenough, that fellator sold lots of tickets.
