Some of you know of my long feud with my sister over Barry Manilow and his trite music. Well, someone has found a good use for it in New Zealand.
A mall in Christchurch, New Zealand is going to pipe in only Barry Manilow music to drive out the teens that have taken it over. You can read it all here.

I get a kick out of your not liking Berry. Is it that you cant sing like him, or something deeper? Don't hate.
ah Jim. I love music and have about 250 GB of it on one computer alone (I am in the process of transferring a huge vinyl collection to MP3's) and this covers everything from early Jazz to punk rock. I love Barry and have seen him several times in concert-and always come away with a smile. It's better than being pissed off all the time. I don't go to the mall because I don't want anything at the mall, not because of annoying teens (of which I raised a few, who by the way also loved Barry, as do my two teenage grand kids) . Now Miley and Elvis might be ones who would annoy me, but live and let live.
I don't hate Barry Manilow. I have been to his concert (my sister made me go at $200 a ticket about 15 years ago.
His music has been so overplayed (think "Copacabana") that I immediately turn the channel when the music comes on.
If people like his music, good for them, my sister LOVES him, which makes it a natural point of contention for both of us.
As a joke someone actually gave me a box of old Barry Manilow albums (vinyl). If you would like them, contact me at the e-mail below.
If a mall I was going to was playing only B.M. music it wouldn't just be the teens leaving, but me. And I have money to spend. Just sayin'
I would never leave a mall because of the music they were playing, I would just complain about it.
It could be worse. John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Seger are even more overplayed than Manilow.
Not that I don't like them (well, actually, I don't), but do we have to hear their songs ALL the time?
If they play that "I want some Tarp" song I would run out of that mall. Compared to Manilow, that group sucks. Berry is not half as bad as that Tarp song. Maybe its me? Now Im done.
