Re: Neil Diamond Retirement
I think it's a tribute to the emotional attachment we get to musicians who mean a lot to us. I was a big George Harrison fan, my favorite Beatle. When he died, I didn't want to listen to any of my albums from him for well over a year. But I finally got back into it, bought his last album "Brainwashed" and enjoyed it a lot. Same with Jim Croce and Greg Lake. Music is a deeply personal involvement, and it sometimes causes very definite reactions.
