some thoughts...CAUTION...they may be random

what about neil diamond? you know, the singer neil diamond

...does the fact that i wouldn't mind going to see him in concert in about a month make me old and a bit soft-rockish? or could it be the fact that most of his music reminds me of closing time at Al Patti's and Coney Island in college while singing in my best drunken chords - SWEET CAROLINE...bom, bom, bom --good times never felt so good-so good-so good!

...or could it possibly be that i am old altogether and SWEET CAROLINE is not enjoyed by young college students these days? only to be enjoyed by these 30 somethings or other who are desperately holding onto their youth somehow, someway.

either way, i had some good times to his music and if that makes me old and soft-rockish, then so be it --you rock in my book neil! actually i am quite afraid i may be one of the youngest ones at this concert, which might be a boost in my confidence via the age factor :-)

still focusing on my youth...i am working on convincing ally that she would love NKOTB, now that they are having a reunion and reunion tour - i need a reason to buy their cd and possibly attend their concert once it hits the burgh without feeling like an 80's groupie. unfortunately, my plan is not working, since ally is into noggin and could careless who is hanging tough!

lucky for us, she is not easily persuaded, this could be a good sign for those ruthless teenage years of peer pressure.
