I love the running guitar rhythm line in that song.

Ha!  Nobody posts in the SEC threads.

OAM and CD occasionally, and Gigem, and every now and then nwms. But it's minimal.

I doubt I'll post much over there either unless it's a specifically SEC topic.

As far as songs in my head, for some reason this one got stuck in there recently. Dunno why:

I grew up in the 80s with "Love on the Rocks" and "Coming to America" and the E.T. theme as my impressions of Neil Diamond.  I liked those songs and thought he was a fine performer, but didn't give him much of a thought beyond that.

It wasn't until later in life, the late 90s/early 2000s, when I discovered that our next-door-season-ticket-seatmate for Longhorn games was also the lead singer of e Neil Diamond tribute band named "Diamondbag" that I developed a much deeper appreciation for Neil Diamond.  His tribute band would play various gigs in Dallas and Austin, and my new friend was a very dynamic, enthusiastic, and talented singer/frontman. His love of the material was obvious and infectious and that's when I truly discovered the greatness of Neil Diamond and the depth of his musical catalog.

I fell in love with songs like "Forever in Blue Jeans" and "Kentucky Woman" and this one:

From my personal perspective, Neil Diamond peaked in the mid-1970s. Maybe the album Beautiful Noise marks that peak for me. But he went on to write and perform good music for over four more decades.

He was a songwriter for publishers in the Brill Building, the successor to Tin Pan Alley, as were Carole King, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, Neil Sedaka, Paul Simon, and many more.

He was part of The Band's Last Waltz, singing "Dry Your Eyes." He did the soundtracks of Jonathan Livingston Seagull (from a lightweight book that was, IMO, much better than the movie) and The Jazz Singer.

The live album Hot August Night, from 1972, is probably my favorite album. My glorious esposita and I were dating at the time, and the road version of that concert was the first of the relatively few concerts I have seen. We have seen Neil perform twice in the decades since. That final one one was in late 2017, not long before he retired from touring.

"Crunchy Granola Suite," I recently learned, was his response to the health-conscious lifestyle of SoCal when he moved out there from NYC. It's about health-food!
