Yeah, I saw him live somewhere in London many years ago. Not everyone's taste, but a good concert.

"Dan S. MacAbre" wrote re Neil Diamond:
Responsible for one of the most ludicrous song beginnings I've heard: "Love on the racks" (sic), and a succession of egotistical album covers, including the egregious "Hot August Night" on which he appears to be fantasizing DIY.

He ain't dead yet guys, he's only stopping touring and intends to carry on recording. He's probably got a good few years left in him yet.
Parkinsons's is pretty common, around 1:500 (or 127,000 diagnosed) in the UK. It's very treatable in the early stages but the progression is unstoppable. It won't kill you directly but something like a fall or pnumonia will get you that maybe linked to having Parkinsons.
I'm not going to let it stop me until it, literally, stops me.

And a very nice guy. Worked on a few of his TV shows back in the '70s. One of those rare musicians who had more than sufficient technical knowledge to ask for what he wanted and needed. And was quick to praise when he got the results he wanted.

There was a good documentary about him called 'Solitary Man'. He seemed a genuine enough bloke.

That was my impression too. He was quite rare in knowing what he wanted and being able to get everyone on his side by explaining why. Unlike so many who just threw their toys out of the pram when things weren't going well - for whatever reason. A true gentleman.
I usually end up with one of his CDs in the car autochanger. Something very comforting about his songs - even when all doom and gloom. ;-)

He would say they were humorous though. if you have ever heard him interviewed, he did not take himself too seriously. Yes Love on the Racks was very amusing.

Of course another sufferer of Parkinsons is David 'Kid' Jensen. Brian
