That's right- I'm listening to (and enjoying) Neil Diamond.
Does that make me an old fogy, or simply a man of great and varied musical taste?

I vote for the musical taste thing, myself.

:shrug:

3. You're obviously a 20-something.
All you've ever listened to is Clear Channel.

I pity you, Child.

12. That Is The Nicest Insult I Have Ever Been Given

4. I have schizotonal disorder; I enjoy a variety of music vrom a variety of genres.
I really dig Neil Diamond's older music... it was around the time of "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" when he started becoming a little too dark and perverse for my tastes...

"The Boat that I Row"
"Cherry, Cherry"
"Kentucky Woman"
"Sweet Caroline"
"I'm a Believer"
"Solitary Man"
"Cracklin' Rosie" was decent...

5. Interesting, calling a Jewish Cantor "perverse"...
:evilgrin:

I'm not schizotonal, but I DO love a wide variety of music...

10. A Cantor leads the religious songs in Temple
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor

Neil was raised from childhood to be a Cantor.

7. recently.....
I was getting a haircut, and they were playing Diamond, probably his greates hits, on the salon's music system. I was surprised how good he sounded.

9. I always liked his early stuff from the 60's
Before he became a lounge singer, he had kind of a raucous folk rock style. On one of his albums, he did a parody of country music called "You're So Sweet, Horseflies Keep Hanging 'Round Your Face."

16. I actually felt bad
about that post --- after I left it...

I understand music can be a strange thing... It's just that Neal Diamond is so cheeze whizzy... I like some cheese --- I do... But to listen to a whole bunch of it at once...????

That's what made me say the mean thing I said...

One ND song at a time... OKAY?!

17. Listen to "Hot August Night" (his live concert cd) some time
It's conceivable you could change your mind.

To each his/her own. As Bull Shannon's mom said to Harry, you just can't like everyone!
