>>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.

>Oh, Cracklin' Rose wasn't exactly the number I was punching on the juke box, but there was a time when you couldn't walk into a bar or a massage parlor in Bangkok, ChiengMai, Vientiene or Saigon without hearing it at least 100 times, sometimes by Neil Diamond, sometimes by a band who had learned the words phonetically. And, of course, Creedance. And Paint it Black will always sound like helicopters and Jumpin' Jack Flash puts me in the Barbarella discoteque in Singapore.
Unfortunately, when that was going on in Bangkok, etc, it was also happening here in North America.
