My Own Brain Hates Me

July 17, 2002

Backstory: Friday while I was watching TV, there was a commercial featuring Neil Diamond singing "Cracklin' Rosie" as an ad for Rosie O'Donnell's talk show. They bring out Rosie's replacement, Caroline Rhea, and Neil switches over to "Sweet Caroline."

I saw that twice in about an hour.

Then I woke up Saturday morning and the archive section of my brain was playing back -- on loop, mind you -- all the Neil Diamond songs I'd been subjected to as a kid. As I write this Saturday at noon, I've had the truly abysmal song "Forever In Blue Jeans" (or at least the bits I remember) playing in my head for the last half hour.

If there are no posts for a while, it'll be because this damn "music" drove me insane.
