“B: I write the songs that make the young girls cry.

M: Really, Barry? Maybe they’re not crying for the reason you think”

You should have had a warning label under the title: WARNING ⚠️ DANGER OF EXPLOSIVE LAUGHTER—Do not drink hot liquids while reading.

Seriously. For me just now it was coffee but this warning came too late.

“M: I didn’t know it was a date, Barry. Providence isn’t a date.” Bwahahahaha. I’ve never felt sorry for Barry until now, arms outstretched carrying an invisible package.

"Maybe they’re not crying for the reason you think." LOL!!

I'm so glad you did this. Certain songs from back then, and even more recently, feel so cringy-creepy to me in retrospect. Like, honestly, nearly every Fleetwood Mac song from the first album. And the Police's "Every Breath You Take" and "Don't Stand So Close To Me" - ewwwww.

So my wife had a colleague who was a huge Barry fan. Saw him every time he toured in Europe. This was her favourite song. He was singing it on stage, and she was in the front row - and she dropped stone dead from a heart attack. Of course, Barry was a trouper and continued the show afterwards.

Hahaha! "Providence isn't a date!"

At least he sang rather than standing there silently holding up cards.
