It's been a LOT of years since I've heard Don Quixote... :o)


>>I guess you weren't a big fan of the movie Jonathon Livingston Seagull then? I read the book probably 10 times before the movie came out. I thought Neil Diamond was the bomb back then. We all thought his writing was more conciously aware - sheesh, that was the 70s afterall. I listened to too much Gordon Lightfoot.

>>>Ok. That does it! From the guy who quoted "Do You Hear the People Sing", we now get "Cracklin' Rosie"????? Jeez. Man, I'm beginning to think you alone were separated at birth. The mere idea of Neil Diamond makes me want to run and hide. Big fan too of I Am, I Said? Stupidest song ever written... well, ok, maybe not counting MacArthur Park.
