Hey, so you DID see my mother at one of the concerts...

Heck. I probably danced and swayed with her to Sweet Caroline. She was hot and very excited to be there.

Yep, that's her!!

It's ALL of US!

Here's the long kept secret of his inspiration for "Sweet Caroline" (not a big surprise, but I thought some of y'all may be curious to know for sure)

Always liked her, she was lookin' good in Denver this week.

But is it a little creepy that a guy in his late 20s was writing songs to a 10-yr-old girl?

it was the 60s. things were a lot more innocent. It was the 70s where a young Micheal Jackson sang to a common grey rat named Ben living in the family kitchen that things got weird.

I like Neil...................but that's exactly what I thought when I read that article a few months ago

The Diamond Dude put on some great live performances in the 70's and into the 80's (including a classic double live album Hot August Night).

By the 90's I started finding his shows to be a bit too much pop and the core audience began to seem like middle aged frumpy ladies (and their husbands).

But ......... as Neil enters his mid 60s, his last two albums have returned to his 1960s song-writing and performing roots. I can't speak to what his concerts are now like, since I haven't seen him in about 10 years, but I love his most recent two albums. Back to basics ... heavy on acoustic .... and great writing and sound. The same guy (don't know his name) who produced Johnny Cash's last album which was greatly reviewed produced Neil's last two albums).

The producers name is Rick Rubin.
