What The Bleep!

What the bleep! thought Barry as he was surfing Facebook. Skyscraper the story and he was one of the investors. Oh really yeah right I don't think so thought Barry. Barry wished fans would quit making up fake stories with him involved in them. Just like the Agent Manilow story. Barry was not a super spy nor did he ever want to be one.  Now Barry had just gotten back from a much needed vacation in Mill Valley California. Barry went there to visit his friend and songwriting partner Adrienne Anderson and her husband Neil. While there he did mix in a little business. He and Adrienne finished up the two songs for Barry's next album Paradise Café II. This sequel to 2:00 AM Paradise Café was going to be about the people who worked and came to the Paradise Café night club in Greenwich Village New York. Plus while he was there the three of them caught a showing of the movie Here At The Mayflower. Barry, Adrienne, Enoch, Jack Marty and Bruce's movie musical based on Barry's album Here At The Mayflower which came out in 2001. Barry, Enoch and Marty wrote the script for the movie. That was the first time Barry had ever written a script for a movie and he loved it. Of course Barry loved the writing process no matter whether it was a book, movie or a musical. That's why he started his own blogger blog called  It's Barry Who?. So he could write down stuff about himself that the fans would like to read. Like the time he went into a local Brooklyn record store and stole a copy of Why Do Fools Fall In Love by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers for a friend. Thank goodness he didn't get caught stealing the forty-five. That was the one and only time he ever stole something. Barry went outside to check his mailbox. On his front porch was a box. Barry looked at the return address oh it's from Suzanne Somers. It must be her new Suzanne Organics for men line. Facial cleanser, shaving cream, facial lotion and facial toner. The line came in two strength's regular and sensitive formulas.   Plus products for male acne . Barry hadn't had zits since he was in high school back in the late fifties early sixties. Barry would have to call Suzanne later to let her know he got her package. He also got a postcard from Garry Kief who was relaxing down in Costa Rica. Barry also finally got manager Marc Hulett to move to the east cost from the west cost. Marc found a brownstone up in Queens neighborhood of Middle Village. So now business meetings with Marc could be in person at the Stiletto offices in midtown Manhattan. Kirsten Kief had taken over the Stiletto offices in Inglewood California. Vikki Thomas was the new head of the Manilow Music Project. While Daisy Bennett was the new head of the BMIFC. Marc was thinking all of Stiletto's operations should be located out east.  He needed to talk to Barry about that one. On the girlfriend front Barry wasn't so lucky in that department. There was Abigail the photographer, Julie the chef and Skylar who worked for Amtrak. All three of them dumped him. Barry decided not to get involved with women for a while. Just then his phone rang. Hello said Barry. Hello yourself said Suzanne. Did you get the box I sent you she said. Yes said Barry I got your box. Once I've tried your organics I'll let you know what I think of them he said. Ok said Suzanne. Just then he heard another beep. He told Suzanne he had another call coming in so he'd have to let her go. Hello said Barry. Hi Barry it's Jack Martin from Caldwell Banker. Oh hi Jack what's up. Well said Jack we sold your Palm Springs house for more than what you were asking for it. Oh really said Barry. Yes said Jack. You put your house up for thirty-five million and it went for seventy million. Jake Cutter the  CEO of Sony pictures bought it. Now all I need to do is to take everything out of the house that I didn't bring back to New York yet Barry told Jack.
