I like your old stuff better than your new stuff - mostly.

Back in my hey day, the fella bought me a great b'day prez - tix to Neil's Tennessee Moon concert in Sydney. I was wrapped. We went out for cheap chinese (students you see, therefore have to do everything on a shoe string - by necessity not choice!) and then we were treated to a Neil spectacular. He was on the revolving circular stage so everyone in the audience got their fair share of some Neil lovin'. Anyhoo, he sang a few tunes from the album but then everyone was cheering for the old goodies - Cherry Cherry, Sweet Caroline etc. SO MUCH SO that he sang Sweet Caroline not once, not twice but THREE times. Let me tell you, everyone in that stadium (even my fella, albeit reluctantly at first) was on their feet singing and dancing.
Why would anyone bother with drugs when you could just go see Neil - or turn up the stereo reeeeeallly loud and sing your lungs out to Sweet Caroline?
p.s. I actually really like the Tennessee Moon album now. But I still love the old stuff better.
