My mom raised me on Neil Diamond, too. We just saw him again this past July. And, I got a record player for my birthday last month and have been playing old albums of his from the seventies and eighties. Nothing like the crackle of vinyl. Lol.

I understand your SPN feelings completely. For me, the series could have ended after season five. I tolerated season six, but season seven is really trying my patience. I love Dean, and I love Castiel. But I can only be put through the Sam/Dean repetitive angst ringer so many times before I go numb. :-/
