I saw him a couple years ago and he was great. We saw him last night in Providence RI and he could not hit any high notes, He had Voiceovers (lipsinking) there was singing and he was not doing anything. Real bad perfomance, he does not look well. I was siting 3 rows back and could see lint on his coat. Maybe he fooled the people in the back! I hope he gets better what ever is wrong with him.

Nope, Jim. 65. Per his Mother – who thought that if we knew Barry’s “real” age, we’d think she was 3 years older than she was and a recent LA Times interview where he says the record company shaved a few years off when Mandy hit.
Happy 65th Barry, and many, many more!

Actually, I believe that Barry is 62, not 65.

Did you notice his ‘mosh-pit-bots’ knew how to clap in time? Maybe they could talk to the AI producers about how to do that.
And – there was a time back in the 70s where Barry was attractive. (Bringing up the argument is it better to look old and crappy, or look like a victim of too much plastic and botox and look crappy? This is important, because I’m not getting any younger either. Is it better to look confident, or like you refuse to let yourself go? Which is worse?)
Anyway, Happy B-day, Barry!
