I feel bad for Alice Cooper. He finally is recognized, but he has to share the spotlight with Neil Diamond, a purveyor of bland elevator music.

Being forced to listen to the subject “artist” for extended periods as I was during several years of my first marriage, did, indeed, lead to the “cutting of a knot.”

I don't blame you. No one should be expected to tolerate spousal abuse.

Robbie Robertson included Neil for two reason: 1. He had recently produced "Beautiful Noise" for ND and 2. He wanted a representative of the Brill Building era (I guess Carol King wasn't available).

Levon Helm gave me the creeps as a kid.

They should change the name to the Popular Music Hall of Fame because there are many, many inductees who aren’t rockers in any sense of the word.

Neil Diamond is one of them.

Look on the bright side.
At least Paul Anka didn’t get nominated.

Just watched the Last Waltz (again) last night. The Song Diamond sung was co written with Robbie Robertson.

Actually, though he turned pretty much pop/lounge lizard, he wrote a lot of very good songs in 60's and 70's, including one covered by Deep Purple.

IMHO, Tull did the greatest rock album ever.

Thick as a Brick.
