No more Crackling Fruits Forever In Blue Jeans, Please

I knew it.. When Noelle emailed me and said, "I saw this event, and thought of you.".. that for as sweet as Noelle is, this would NOT be good... But Noelle is such a life and entertainment artist, I could not, NOT click the ticketmaster link she sent me http://arunaurl.com/2jm8 .

No more "Cracklin Fruit, on the Rocks or forever in BlueJeans." No No No, this is NOT romance, its sick. NO women this is not love music it's well smarmy..

Dawn's Neurotic Secret: I REALLY REALLY can not stand Neil Diamond music. It is a recurrent theme of amusing proportion. I have had to tolerate my aversion to Neil Diamond music, which has taken the form of invitations and gag gifts since I was a teenager-- my mom and dad started it by giving me "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", one of my favorite books by Richard Bach, but instead it was a Neil Diamond Vinyl Album!

Please, understand, that if you LIKE Neil Diamond, it's nothing personal. Just Please Please it hurts my musical sensibilities, kind of like a really bad 1970s flashback to an uncle I did not even HAVE in my family. I have not ever met the man, but even as a child, Neil Diamond's popularity escaped me as I tried to choke back feelings of extreme discontent when the lyrics would belt out on the local Illinois radio station.

Here is a list of my all time least liked Neil Diamond songs-- now please don't tell this to the coffee shop owners, because it is a sure fire way to make me want to leave. :D

1. CHERRY CHERRY
2. CRACKLIN' ROSIE
3. FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS
4. GIRL YOU'LL BE A WOMAN SOON (sung by Neil Diamond. Like the Pulp Fiction version by Chicago band, Urge Overkill).
5. I AM I SAID
6. LOVE ON THE ROCKS
7. PORCUPINE PIE
8. SEPTEMBER MORN
9. SONG SUNG BLUE
10. SWEET CAROLINE
11. YOU DON'T BRING ME FLOWERS
