Good one. I was sort of surprised Neil’s version didn’t adapt more of the lyrics...
Why not? "Sweet Caroline" has been played between innings at Fenway Park for many years, and other ballparks have picked it up as well.
Kind of appropriate for this non-Opening Day of the 2020 Baseball season.
Saw it the other day, Neil Diamond is a class act. Great American!
I am Red Sox fan and don’t like the lefty owners and that annoying song.
I asked my husband what Sweet Caroline has to do with baseball or the Red Sox.
We were shocked to find it wasn’t even that old a “tradition”, and basically was just a song some entertainment producer at the stadium kept playing? (Don’t quote me, I’m going by memory.)
I like the song, was happy for the Sox finally breaking thru in ‘04 (my grandpa was a huge fan, but about 15 years too late; they last won when he was in French trenches). But I don’t get it.
Does this mean Joe Biden won’t be using it as his campaign theme song?
I couldn’t think of how to proceed any further. Then I see moovova’s “sweet quarantine” (pronounced quar-in-TYNE”?) and I smacked myself in the head. I can’t believe Neil Diamond didn’t think of that, either.
Your words and thoughts are beautiful.
