There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't.

1. My 5 year old son LOVES him

He walks around the house singing "Sweeeeeet Carolinah" and "We're Comin' to America - Today!"
I think its adorable (His little speech imperfections aside). He seems to like everything of ND's that we play.

Happy Birthday Neil from an old fan and a young one.

18. I have always heard the song was about Caroline Kennedy.

From Wikipedia:
On December 21, 2011, in an interview on the CBS Early Show[citation needed], Diamond said that a magazine cover photo of Caroline Kennedy as a young child on a horse with her parents[6] in the background created an image in his mind, and the rest of the song came together about five years after seeing the picture.
