Neil Diamond streaming now

Neil Diamond is my inexplicable blind spot. When prompted, I can never recall anything he's ever done or even what he looks like. To have a conversation about him, I first have to consult Wikipedia, exclaim "Oh, he's that guy!", and then I forget all about it again.

You must be an anti-semite.
 
You must be a hoot at parties.

Dire Straits - My Parties

"My Parties"

Well this is my back yard - my back gate
I hate to start my parties late
Here's the party cart - ain't that great?
That ain't the best part baby - just wait
That a genuine weathervane - it moves with the breeze
Portable hammok baby - who needs trees
It's casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties

Check out the shingles - it's brand new
Excuse me while I mingle - hi, how are you
Hey everybody - let me give you a toast
This one's for me - the host with the most

It's getting a trifle colder - step inside my home
That's a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone
That's a musical doorbell - it don't ring, I ain't kiddin'
It plays america the beautiful and tie a yellow ribbon

Boy, this punch is a trip - it's o.k. in my book
Here, take a sip - maybe a little heavy on the fruit
Ah, here comes the dip - you may kiss the cook
Let me show you honey - it's easy - look
You take a fork and spike 'em - say, did you try these?
So glad you like 'em - the secret's in the cheese
It's casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties

Now don't talk to me about the polar bear
Don't talk to me about the ozone layer
Ain't much of anything these days, even the air
They're running out of rhinos - what do I care?
Let's hear it for the dolphin - let's hear it for the trees
Ain't running out of nothing in my deep freeze
It's casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties
 
His career was pulled back into the mainstream because for some reason they began playing Sweet Caroline during the 7th inning stretch at Red Sox games....damn, how that made me hate that song.

As the software writers like to brag, "that's not a bug, that's a feature."
 
Another forgotten treasure.

Ishmael

His wife was the one streaming it on Periscope.

It was great.

Next week I get to see him live, at the Hollywood Bowl.

This will probably be the highpoint of my year.
