If I was on acid seeing all those old people singing "Sweet Caroline" might've been enough to send me into a trip I may have never recovered from.JL21 wrote:Yeah, but everything is awesome on acid.docellis wrote:I think it would be awesome. On acid.

Re: Rave: Neil Diamond
He sings a song which is close to my name, not exactly my name but close. For whatever reason, whenever I'm with a group of friends and there is alcohol involved they feel the need to sing this song to me, over and over, loudly, in bad voices, anywhere. Did I mention loudly?

Re: Rave: Neil Diamond
My ex wife got free tickets. This morning I asked her how it was and she [expletive], "I was sooo pissed!" and I was like why? and she was like "He played Sweet Caroline 3 times but he didn't play hardly any of his hits, what a waste" and I'm like, well, he does consider himself a still functioning artist who does have new work he wants to play and she was like " I asked the couple behind us how much they paid and they said $130 each!! Holy [expletive] I would have been pissed to pay that and not hear Cracklin Rose"
And I said, Oh.
lol at hipster douchebag irony. like the a holes that kept playing We Built This City at the kickball game the other day.

And Sweet Caroline was ok once...not twice. I must have passed out for the 3rd time around.

Re: Rave: Neil Diamond
I've never been to a concert where they played the same song more than once much less three times, even when it was the biggest hit the person had. Maybe he forgot he already played it, and then forgot again.
