Neil Diamond Reveals Inspiration for "Sweet Caroline"


In a bit of breaking news befitting CNN Headline News, USA Today, the Fox Opinion Network and other liberal media, singer Neil Diamond has revealed who the inspiration was for his smash hit "Sweet Caroline."

Neil Diamond held onto the secret for decades, but he has finally revealed that President Kennedy's daughter was the inspiration for his smash hit "Sweet Caroline."...

..."It was a picture of a little girl dressed to the nines in her riding gear, next to her pony," Diamond recalled. "It was such an innocent, wonderful picture, I immediately felt there was a song in there."
Thats all nice and sweet but when you read the lyrics to the song a few questions immediately pop up.

For instance, when Neil Diamon wrote these words about a 10 year old girl:
Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would
you have to wonder if he had a touch of pedophilia going on. Why else would he say things like that about a little girl?

I guess being the father of daughters you think about these things more.

Bad Neil, bad.

Funny how people have different perspectives. I see that line as crowds of hands reaching out to touch public figures they love so much. From their view, all they can see is hands reaching towards them.
