I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO NEIL DIAMOND SINCE I WAS ABOUT
2-3 YEARS OLD, IT STARTED OUT I LISTENED TO HIM, BECAUSE IT MADE ME FEEL CLOSER TO MY FATHER, WHO WHICH LOOKS ALOT LIKE HIM. THEN WHEN I HAD ALOT OF TROUBLE TIMES IN MY LIFE, IT SEEMED TO ME THAT NEIL WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT LISTENED, AND DID NOT ASK ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL. I HAD A SERIOUS CAR WRECK IN 1992, AND WAS PRONOUNCED AS A DOA. I STAYED IN A SECONDAIRY COMA FOR 3 MONTHS, AND MY PARENTS SAID THAT THE ONLY PERSON I WOULD RECONIZE WAS NEIL DIAMOND. HE PUTS SO MUCH INTO HIS MUSIC. IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT THERE WITH HIM AS HE SINGS IT. I JUST HOPE THAT I AM LUCKY ENOUGH ONE DAY TO FINALY MEET THE MAN, AND JUST WALK UP TO HIM AND GIVE HIM ONE SINGLE RED ROSE AND TELL HIM HOW MUCH I'VE ENJOYED HIS MUSIC AND I WILL ALWAYS ENJOY IT.
BY THE WAY, I GOT A RECENT PICTURE OF HIM TODAY, AND I THINK HE LOOKS THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN HIM.
THIS IS THE SECOND PICTURE I HAVE OF HIM, AND HOPEFULLY I WILL GET ONE EVERY YEAR THAT HE PERFORMS.
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHEN HE WILL BE GOING ON HIS NEXT TOUR I WOULD BE MORE THAN GREATFUL. WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHEN HE WILL BE BACK IN ATALANTA GEORGIA.
LOVE,
CHERYL ROGERS
