A tad overdue, but happily inducted on 3/14/11 From USA TODAY: Paul Simon pointed out that Neil Diamond was eligible for induction 20 years ago: "What took so long?" Simon's theory: "Six words: You Don't Bring Me Flowers (Anymore)" — because Barbra Streisand isn't considered a rocker. Diamond entered to the most rousing applause of the evening. "I still would sing that song with Barbra — she's the greatest," he said in a comical, profanity-laced speech. "Even if you didn't vote for me, I still love you." |
