Forever in blue jeans

Did not see this one coming… Garet got tix for a Super Diamond show at Irving Plaza Friday night. Had not expected to spend the evening in a venue packed with screaming 30-somethings watching a band from San Francisco play famous (and some not-so-famous) songs written by Neil Diamond. But after a rough week, why not? Oh my. I felt the band took performing pretty seriously; it’s a lifestyle choice for them. Opening act was Hair Supply; they cover Air Supply songs in a metal way. Holy shit. They were much more tongue-in-cheek. And they’re NYC-based. I suspect I will see them again.

"Surreal Neil" in action.
