Graduation Memory

In high school, I was definitely a huge Barry Manilow fan. So much, that when one of Barry's televised specials was scheduled on my graduation night I was asked to confirm I'd go through graduation as opposed to staying home to watch it. (This was before VCRs in households were common place.)

Well, duh, yes I'd go through graduation. One of my presents that evening was this t-shirt.

Manilow Network Ning

It seems more and more fans that belong to the Manilow Network Ning are getting notice and booted out. Not sure what the deal is or why so many are finding themselves no longer welcome. There is an alternative though, the alt.fan.barry-manilow newsgroup on Usenet. It is completely public, there are no moderators, you are welcome to contribute and speak freely.
