“I look out at the audience these days, and there are some beautiful people with rings in their belly buttons,” Manilow, who was to headline at the Allstate Arena on Saturday, recently told Armour & Co.
“My fans have been with me forever and are always there for me. But the demographics have changed. These last couple of years, there’s a very young audience out there.”
And kids, now that he has your attention, the man who once sang “I Write the Songs” has some friendly advice for you: Write your own songs!
“Sampling, I don’t get it–sorry, I don’t get it,” Manilow said. “I’d much rather create my own stuff.”
