Last good song you listened to?

Back in about 1991 I somehow ended up with a cassette tape of a 1968 Neil Diamond concert. I didn't think much of it at the time and kind of thought Neil was for old ladies. It became one of my favorite live albums ever. I can't find it doing a search but I do love me some Neil. This concert from the Greek Theater in 1972 is pretty well known but not as rocking as my old '68 tape. Still really cool and super interesting how differently he sang the songs than on my tape.

Haha. Yep.
Listen Again: Neil Diamond’s “Girl You’ll Be A Woman Soon” — Bop Daddy
2003 was a big year for me. It was the year I turned ten, and it was also the year Clay Aiken’s “Invisible” was released. Oddly enough, the release of Clay Aiken’s first (and last?) song marked the beginning of a new era for me: an era in which I understood that songs aren’t happy and men are terrib

“Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon” has become one of Diamond’s most well-known hits, having been covered numerous times and of course appearing in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction (1994). The song has maintained its status as both a classic hit and relevant piece of pop culture, despite the clear weirdness in Diamond’s lyrics.
This song is sick, twisted, and at its core a love ballad for teenaged girls. But I’ll be goddamned if it isn’t a great one."

Honestly, that's one of my top Leonard Cohen albums, despite all the production problems.
First Cohen album I got 25 years ago
