Anyone like Neil Diamond...?

I am actually a bit of a fan.

He's likely too old but there's some brain surgery that can be done to lessen the symptoms, but not everyone is able to get the surgery for reasons I'm not sure of.

He sings a song about a lady friend and she has the same name as the lady I visited in Australia.

I'm not a huge baseball fan. I'm even less a fan of the Red Sox.

But, I've been to a bunch of Red Sox games (as it was the thing to do, and they were not a winning team which meant cheap tickets and I could take the subway there with drunken friends).

They sing Sweet Caroline during pretty much every game. It's a Red Sox thing. I forget why it started.

I think most folks mouth the words until it gets to the chorus.

I had some difficult administrative decisions to take and make, last 24 hours, and am exhausted.

I've just cracked open a beer and am catching up on here.

I read about that earlier. I have some margarita mix handy and some very good tequila. The Margaritaville song is so well known, that I've been able to cover it (it's not especially difficult, after all) for decades and across audiences of all ages.

The song has some of my favorite lyrics of all times...

"Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
but I know it's my own d*mn fault."

Of course, I always get a kick out of "I blew out my flip flop. Stepped on a pop top. Cut my heel had to cruise on back home." It's lyrical genius in such a deceptively simple song. It describes a scene so vividly that there's no need for interpretation.

Edit to add:

For a LONG TIME my go-to drink was "margarita, no salt, cherries and not a lime".
