Reply #3: I remember an OLD Rolling Stone interview with Barry Manilow (whose music, BTW, I really detest)... [View All]

...where the interviewer 'fessed up to approaching his subject with disdain
and came away impressed by how nice and unpretentious Manilow was...
and not the least bit delusional about his place in the realm of pop music.

Henry Rollins (who I LOVE), though he later dissed them BADLY (so I've heard...
I haven't been able to find it) went to a KISS concert expecting to be bored
to tears -- and he ended up being impressed as hell at the intensity (all glam
show or not) with which these 50-somethings performed. He said it beat the
HELL out of all the "jaded" 20-year-old shoe-gazers that had been all the rage
at the time.
