Welcome to a Strip extra. The following is a conversation recorded with Barry Manilow in advance of the Newsweek piece that I contributed to. Very little of this discussion made it into the piece, so we decided to edit it and post it here. The interview was in Manilow\\u2019s dressing room at the Paris Hotel-Casino and was conducted primarily by me with a few interjections from a colleague working on the story. During the interview, we delve into Manilow\\u2019s fears about being perceived to be \\u201cover\\u201d when he decided to headline at the Hilton, memories he has of opening for many major acts in the 1970s and what his digs are like when he does stay overnight here. Manilow also answered questions about lip-synching allegations, why he won\\u2019t do a Garth Brooks-like show and much more.
