So good! So good! So good! I’m guessing when Neil Diamond wrote this song, he had no idea it would turn into a sports anthem. Neil said it was about his then-wife Marcia but he needed a three syllable name to fit, and thought of JFK and Jackie’s daughter Caroline Kennedy. For 20+ years it’s been a fixture during Boston Red Sox games (I got to sing along at a Sox-Nationals game at Fenway Park one night!) and was featured in an episode of “The Big Bang Theory.” Written in less than an hour during Neil’s Memphis sessions which had been bumped by Elvis. In return, the King made this a long-time part of his stage show.
