IT GETS CRAZY ON THE ROAD, AND AWFUL LONELY: Exactly three years to the day after we told you to pay attention to his renaissance and months after Jewish Elvis Night on Idol, the NYT goes backstage and on tour with Neil Diamond. “This is my job,” he told the Hartford crowd. “Someone much greater than me gave me that job. He said, ‘You, you with that stupid look on your face — go out and sing until I tell you to stop.’ I haven’t heard the word yet so I’m just going to keep doing it.”
AlexG on 12 Songs: "[T]he main triumph of 12 Songs is the conflict between Rubin's approach and Diamond's inherent showmanship and bombast. While Cash sounded like a man with a foot in the grave reflecting on his entire life, Diamond, while acknowledging his mortality seems to be insisting he still has something left to offer."
