Ahh.. Neil

What?! Three posts in one day? Has Resa completely lost her mind and gone cRaZy?! Is she bored, avoiding homework or simply that awesome.

Let's go with the last one. It's my favorite of all the choices.

Today we were headed downtown and as we were driving I was able to get my family to listen to Neil Diamond. Both my parents grew up with him and went to concerts of his and everything! They are both fans.

My life is complete. I'm inclined to start weeping joyously. Instead I might just die happy.

Let's admit it, people, Neil Diamond has a sexy voice.

  1. Ahh...Neil. One of my favorite subjects!

    I'm 52 and have been a fan of Neil's since I was 13 and he was 29. This is the first time I remember seeing him. (I love YouTube!)

    His last tour was 08-09; 67 cities, 100 concerts, sold out. He's 69 now and still the best show in town. Here's a clip of The Man and his fantastic band from the Madison Square Garden concert.

  2. By the way, you'll have to copy and paste the links into your address bar to see them. (There isn't a direct link in the post.)

  3. I was a Neil Diamond fan when most of my contemporaries thought he was not hip enough. There is just no getting around his great voice. Probably my favorite song was "Done too Soon." However, anything from Jonathan Livingston Seagull will get me smiling.

  4. WE saw him several times. The most memorable time was in Manchester NH in October 2001 - just a month after 9/11. He opened with Coming to America and had a HUGE flag unfurled during the opening.

    Goose bumps all around
