Alright, CC! As a gesture of kindness...

Heritage interests me.  It's why I spent money on a DNA test.

[cc]

Au contraire. That would have been for YOUR heritage.



That has nothing to do with others .. but you sure do keep track of jews

[Angry White Male]

I am not as biased as you think, CC.  I like to compile data for my brain.  I have big time ADD, and this is how we can be at times.



Just like I know that George Lucas was NOT a Jew, but went on to become a very successful Hollywood producer.

I see. That makes considerable  sense

[Angry White Male]

Knowing true facts about people, and what they do, helps me to form my own opinion of people, race, religion, etc.



I don't much care for the crap the mainstream media pushes into my eyes and ears.  I prefer instead to do my own research on people and things.  And part of that research often includes the ancestry of people, which oddly enough I remember without even having to try...

While I never think about people's heritage unless they make a thing of it, from what you said I understand why you would do so



We all have our own "things" that matter to us .. for me it's all about ideologies .... and personal character .... most other items are mere passing interest to me

Neil Diamond had one...ONE...hit record that was a live "Greatest Hits" from 1972.



And that was chiefly because it was probably the first example of a major production of a live performance, recorded capturing the magic and excitement of one (actually it was over a number of nights) concert that clicked.



It set an example and raised the bar of live performances forever, and for that he should be lauded. For his  music, not so much.

Appreciation of types of music is always personal to each individual.



Fame etc. says nothing about anyone's actual talent ... especially when most of the world is tone deaf and rhythm stunted

Well, This ain't good

Very sad news.

No-one should have to suffer that awful disease.

Why do you think I mentioned Nearly Neil?  I knew the real Neil was calling it quits even before he did...

It's terrible.

The 'health' part of my genetic test did include Parkinson's.  Luckily I'm not predisposed to it.

You have enough mental problems.
