OK, now we know why he wrote it. Can somebody explain to me why
they play it at every game at Fenway? (Yeah, he said the Red
Sox think it brings them luck, but who came up with that notion,
and why?) One season they played that stupid clip of Kevin
Millar from what appeared to be his college days because they
thought that brought them luck. At least they had the good
taste to stop doing it after a while.

I believe it was a "random" selection by an intern working for
the Red Sox at the time. Apparently the Sox felt it brought them
luck and have stuck with it all these years. I think that's
pretty close to the story.

Yeah...it's just a fun, sing-a-long tune that allows the fans to
interact a bit. Just an easy tune that everyone knows the words
to. I remember Jack Black had it as the conclusion to one of his
goofy flicks. Caught the end on cable one night. He and his pal
sang it on stage with Neil, their idol, while the credits rolled
if I'm not mistaken.
You are thinking of "Saving Silverman", and they are singing "Holly
Holy."

One of the greatest live albums ever is Neil's "Hot August Night".

Teddy

Good album. Strange cover. He looks like he's on fire and putting
it out.

I saw Neil perform live about 12 years ago. We had 2nd row tickets. He
puts on a great show and he sweats like a rented mule on a hot summer
night, so to speak. Also for several years the dentist I went to was
his 1st cousin. (Dr. Richard Diamond in Tujunga, CA.). He had a bunch
of signed pictures of Neil in his office. I was surprised to learn
that Diamond was the family name, it sounds so much like a stage name.


I've heard his shows were really good. I know he's one of those guys
who's very didicated. He doesn't listen to any music while he's writing
so as not to be influenced by it. Diamond does sound like one of those
Jewish or Italian names converted to sound less "ethnic", back in the
day.
