Cheekymonkey Musical Notes: My First Concert Was Neil Diamond

As a young lass, I had a major older man crush on this guy, which was eventually eclipsed by Shaun Cassidy.

I remember waiting in line outside of the L.S. Ayres store at the Greenwood Park Mall to buy tickets to see Neil Diamond at Market Square Arena. On the night of the concert, I wore some hideous pink ensemble, and my friend Jan and I stayed well after the concert was over to try and catch a glimpse of Neil. No such luck, but we did see his drummer and his son, Jesse (who was a bit closer to my age).

This is the saddest story I've ever read. Not so much that you didn't see Neil, but mainly the pink ensemble and the desperation. I mean, it's totally NOT like the time I was touched by Jack Wagner and I vowed to never wash my hand again. That was perfectly normal behavior.

Jack Wagner? That is precious!! And, yeah ... the pink outfit was very memorable and not in a good way!

I sat next to Jack Wagner at MSA and his little boy came over and sat on my lap. Jack's wife at the time (she was on General Hospital or some such thing) was from our city and they were in town for the holidays. Cute kid. Apple stayedclose to the tree, see?
