He doesn't write the songs, but he does play Vegas

Here's some good news: Barry Manilow signs a long-term deal to perform five nights a weeks at the Las Vegas Hilton, beginning February 24.

Now you're wondering: Hey, I thought you despised Barry Manilow. How is that good news?

The good news is that Manilow's show (a) is at the LV Hilton, which is the one major hotel I always avoid like leprosy when we go to Vegas — it's too far from everything and is usually packed with conventioneers from places like Dubuque and Poughkeepsie; and (b) doesn't open until a month after KJ and I will be home from Neon City. Huzzah!

Incidentally, if anyone ever wanted to record the world's most boring CD, this would be it:

"Michael Bolton Sings Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits, With Special Musical Appearances by John Tesh, Chuck Mangione, Kenny G, Yanni, and Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute."

Where's K-Tel Records when you need them?
