The problem is, most of the protestors are far too young to even know who Barry Manilow is - much less that his music is syrupy drivel that makes one ill! His heyday ended about the mid-80s - so, 37 years ago.

Other than that...

Ness, you're outting your personal vintage, LOL! You didn't happen to have his posters in your room at home???

Haha

I know his name but can't think of one song by him off the top of my head. Will have to do a search... Though knew it would be bad if it's used to repel protesters etc

Oh,they're bad alrighty - downright teenybopper cheesy!

Bad enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHIdHIWfnl4

But it gets worse - FAR worse!

Course, it depends upon whatever your personal tastes. So, what styles of music do YOU like?

After 20 seconds was still alive.
Kind of ABBA style music.

My favourite is Secret Garden. Then Roxette, etc.

I don't even know what to call it these days. I used to call it 'elephant music' but that would be an insult to elephants.

So, it's Trumpet music then?

[Ged]

Not exactly. Unless someone breaks the bottom off a beer bottle and blows a tune through it. Naw, its not too bad over here. Gets a bit merry between Christmas and New Year tho.
