MANILOW FANS MORE DEVOTED THAN DEADHEADS?

MANILOW FANS MORE DEVOTED THAN DEADHEADS?

BEDFORD, Indiana (Wireless Flash) -- Deadheads may be devoted but they're nothing compared to Barry Manilow fans, according to a self-proclaimed "Maniloonie" in Bedford, Indiana. Mandy Strunk, author of the new book, "The Whole World Sings: The Fans Behind Barry Manilow" (Dowling Press), says she knows of one woman who rescheduled a major surgery just so she wouldn't miss a Manilow concert. Another maniacal Maniloonie is so devoted to Barry that after her dog ate her concert tickets, she waited until the dog pooped them out and used them anyway.
