Money Talks But It Don't Sing and Dance and It Don't Have Secret Concerts in Brooklyn

He'll do just fine back in BK.

FAR! He's been traveling far, without a home, but not without a star.  That's right, the man synonymous with blue jeans, Fourth of July fireworks and the sloppy end of weddings and high school dances is coming to Brooklyn bitches (Cue airhorn)!!!!!  Ok for those of you who are like 20, I'm talking about Neil Diamond. 

Another one of Brooklyn's own comes home to perform for the first time ever in the borough that bore him. Like his homeslice and former Erasmus classmate Babs Streisand (who he no longer brings flowers to, btw), Diamond, 73, will perform a concert right here in the County of Kings on September 29th.

Oh by the way, this is a secret (except that we saw it on CBS New York). Diamond will be announcing the location on the morning of the 29th over his facebook page and twitter.

When asked to comment on how it felt coming back home to New York after all these years, Diamond had this to say, "L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time and the feeling is 'laid back.' Palm trees grow and rents are low but you know I keep thinkin' about making my way back." Diamond went onto say that he was "New York City born and raised but nowadays, I'm lost between two shores, L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home, New York's home, but it ain't mine no more." That's a little sad, but when asked if he was excited to go back to his home borough, he said, "'I am!" He cried. "I am!" 

He's also releasing a new album, bless his heart, called Melody Road. It will be released on October 21, so preorder it... TODAY!
