So I went looking. So I found something. Something too old...

Madonna wimped out. So I went to see if Barry Manilow had anything to say.

He's got "Let Freedom Ring" back up on the website - but it's accompanied by a tiny picture, as opposed to the one that filled the entire frame after September 11th.

And this message is still up.

I remember he closed the show last summer in Irvine with that song, and left the stage - usually he comes back on for as many encores as the audience can get out of him (and in Los Angeles, that's at least three) - but last year, it was firm. THAT song closes the show, baby.

I wish I had a rip of the song he closed his Broadway show with - a cover of an old spiritual, heaven knows what the title is - "There will be peace...and understanding...someday. There will be birds flying higher, in a sky, more blue - "

Long before. Years before.

He showed up at that emergency Democrat fund-raiser where Barbra Streisand sang and made a fool of herself. I note she's keeping her mouth shut, too.

That song was written for the rededication of the Statue of Liberty after its refurbishment.

Say something. Say something.
