    She did school them on Neil Diamond. As a consequence, I will note here that I will never again publicly question Rachel's knowledge... of Neil Diamond.

    @ninety_nine: I did enjoy the fact that several commenters accused her of not knowing the difference between Neil Diamond and Neil Young without bothering to google any of the lyrics, which would immediately have brought up several Neil Diamond results. Whoops.

    @Lucky: I like Rachel and everything, but clearly the Neil Diamond song is talking about the famous steamboat and though I found her piece amusing, I'm still not sure how the lyrics relate to the Duke boys.

    @Magister: I agree with you, but it wasn't really my point; I was thinking more along the lines that had they even followed the link that she provided in the article they wouldn't have been making those baseless accusations that she didn't know the difference between the two Neils. And that one was repeated by several people. If you're (general, not you specifically) going to criticize her article, I think that's fine, but at least have your own shit straight.

    @Lucky: If you watch the Mediaite webshow from the other day, everybody was expecting the theme from The Jeffersons, but she chose to end it with a song from Primal Scream and now she's referencing a deep cut from Neil Diamond. So, if nothing else, perhaps we've learned that Ms Sklar is "eclectic".

    At the risk of being gullible, did he really say that?


    That's unbelievably rude. I wouldn't cover any of his press releases anymore.

    Be afraid Owen. It's probably a Jim Crow sammich, since you seem to have a problem with their 'ethnics'.

    Tesla's ship will sink with this sort of confusion about what to do with leaks.

    I would buy this car if it were in the 40-45K range. But that's my personal limit on how much I'd spend on a luxury vehicle.
