"Sweet Caroline" is one of the top 100 downloads on Freegal.

The Neil Diamond tribute band Super Diamond, was pretty fun. I learned three new things:

1.      The album Hot August Night was recorded 40 years ago, in 1972. (Yes, it’s been that long.)

2.      Neil Diamond wrote the song “I’m a Believer,” the one that the Monkees did so well with.

3.      It’s a lot of work to pretend to be Neil Diamond. After about an hour, I was worried for the performer’s voice, he had to growl so much.
