Bob Dylan and Barry Manilow and Burt (at Burt's apartment)

Post by An Enormous BB Fan »

Wow! Can the following be true? I wish I could have been a fly on the wall that night!!

"Maybe it's payback because a "Jew boy" from Hibbing, Minn. -- Bob Dylan -- had to go to New York to get discovered. Manilow encountered the Minnesota icon once, in the late 1980s. "It was an odd meeting," he recalled. It took place at a Seder, a ceremonial Passover dinner,
at the home of songwriting legend Burt Bacharach. "He [Dylan] came over to me and said, 'Keep doing what you're doing, man. You're inspiring all of us.' Isn't that nice?"

I wonder who else was at Burt's house that night! What a mixture of future music legends!
