So many great songs, Cracklin' Rosie, Sweet Caroline, etc. Somehow this one just strikes a chord. You can almost feel the energy as it builds. Never been to a tent revival, but you almost get the feel...
The best song of his to drink beer to in a bar is "Forever in Blue Jeans."
Sad for him.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Very sad and just a good sign the FDA needs to be reformed to get information to people to live a longer healthy life.
There is a series out this week by Dr.Mark Hyman called "Broken Brain".
You have to go to his website and sign up for the series of episodes:
In 1977 I went to Spain as a school trip. We toured the country in a Mercedes bus that was equipped with a cassette player. Our bus driver loved Neil Diamond, so we listened to Neil over and over again.
Every time I hear early Neil Diamond, I am taken back to 1977.
I will pray for him.

I have always enjoyed some Neil Diamond. It takes me back to the street I grew up on because the lady across the street had a 20’ x 20’ canvas portrait of him attached to her back privacy fence.

I am glad this thread popped up not for the fact that he has parkensons but made me plug Neil Diamond into Pandora. What a great era/genre the Station has been rocking for 2 days straight now: Neil Diamond Gordon Lightfoot Elton John Cat Stevens Buffalo Springfield Elvis John Denver James Taylor Van Morrison And more
Myself and the boys are loving it. My middle boy won’t let me shut the van off till the song is over.

What an outstanding performer and showman. He will be missed but his music will live on.
