A message from Barry...
Hey guys,
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. 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.
Love,
Barry "
I have always respected Mr. Manilow as a performer and a gentleman, but let's face it... The 18-30 demographic is not listening to "Bandstand" and "Mandy" at their activist meetings! I am appalled that Mr. Manilow feels like open dialogue with those of a differing viewpoint would "compromise his beliefs."
