Years ago, there was a column by an entertainment writer (in Chicago, I think) who recounted how Neil Diamond (who she was interviewing) came on to her like a ‘lounge lizard’. He seemed full of himself - based on that story, and propositioned her. I was very young at the time, but remember reading that.
And your comment is?
He was a big deal - probably had groupies galore and was not used to being turned down.
