So last night I dreamt and i looked over across her Barry Manilow collection and
Strange tie-in here. This wasn't a dream. A few weeks back I'm listening to "Fresh Air" on my local NPR station while driving home from work. The interview is with Barry Manilow. So the question is posed "So Barry what do you listen to these days?" Barry answer's "Well Terry, Groove Armada, Basement Jaxx and Underworld." It's obvious that Terry Gross is stunned by the answer. "But that's "just" rhythm based music." Barry counters "That may be Terry, but it's so structured, kind of in a jazz sense." Who would have thunk? Caught me off guard too. I won't be buying "Ultimate Manilow" but I have a greater respect for him now.
