Know Your Manilow!

[EarlJam]

Found this on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution site during lunch. I've yet to take the quiz but am about to. While I appreciate his talents, I really hope I fail this one. Really.

Update: I got 7 of 10 correct. I think I just ruined my own day.

-Oh EarlJam, well you came and you kept me from shakin; go and make me some bacon.

You should change your sig to "At the EarlJam...EarlJam cabana...the hottest spot north of Havana."

I only scored 60%, making me slightly less of a loser than you. But I had taken that quiz long before you posted it (while sipping morning coffee), roughly evening the loser quotient.

I don't know if I would go so far as to use such a strong term as "loser." I mean, if all I or you did was listen to sucky, wimpy music, well, that's one thing, but I listen to very cool, macho stuff too. Why just this morning I drove to work with the sunroof open, blasting REO Speedwagon from my speakers.

I was "ridin' the storm out" baby and "couldn't fight the feeling!"

For my money, it just doesn't get any better than Kevin Cronin!

I only scored 40%...thank heavens...although I now have a mental image of Barry sunbathing au natural burned into my brain...aaaagggghhhh!!!!

[aimo]

But that may be b/c Barry is in Raleigh this weekend and his vibes are arriving ahead of him.

And no, I'm not going to the show.

50%, and I can honestly say that every answer was a complete guess.

Windsor managed to be cool at a statistically improbable level. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. The way I see it, to score under 50% requires knowing most of the answers but choosing the opposite so you look like less of a Fanilow.

Sadly (or happily) I actually thought I knew the answers to some of them (I really thought he wrote the 'you deserve a break today...' ) my actually response to the 'likes to sunbath in the nude was 'please, God NOOOO'...I really wanted that one to be false.

Had I scored higher than a 70 (surpassing the closet Fanilow EarlJam) I simply would have denied ever taking the quiz!!

[Mudge]

I'm so proud, after having come of age (or should I say, being inundated by his music) in his heyday.

[YmoBeThere]

I too had a score indistiguishable from pure random noise...(50&#37

[ohioguy2]

60--every one a guess.

[devildeac]

3/10 for me-crap, i don't have the lowest score on the board.

double crap, i will give up Quin if i actually submit this post admitting i wasted the time taking the quiz

and fortunately, the show in Raleigh tonite was cancelled due to the bad weather we didn't have

[dukemomLA]

Hate that I scored 50% -- every one a guess. Was hoping to score less than that. Figure that to be a C or C- at best. (Although these days... a 50% is probably a B+)

[BlueTeuf]

I took the quiz because I knew Bruce Johnston was once with the Beach Boys (now there's a band name to make today's music exec cringe) and Manilow made his song famous. Figured it would wind up as one of the questions.

[ArkieDukie]

What's sad is that I was trying to answer correctly. I'm with Windsor: I answered "false" to the nude sunbathing question because I really, really wanted it to be false. Now I would like a big, huge eraser for the mental image that I'll be stuck with.

how can you make fun of fleetwood mac and support this doofus

[knights68]

I suppose I should be proud that I am no 'Fanilow' as I scored 50%. And to be honest, the ones I did get I guessed at totally. So really, I am probably 10 or 20%.

[Bostondevil]

I wanted to get them all correct so I could take whatever dubious title you wanted to bestow upon me but alas, I only got 6 right. As yes, I got the nude sunbathing question wrong for the same reason everybody else did. Is it still true? Maybe not, we can only hope.

[TillyGalore]

What exactly is wrong with Barry Manilow that everyone runs from him? I think we're all secretly Barry Manilow fans.

Oh, my score was 30%, and I got the sunbathing wrong too.

[Tommac]

I got 80% but I have to admit that at least half of my right answers were complete guesses. Manilow is not one of my all time favorites but I don't detest him like most of you do.
