The Big Bang Theory: "The Scavenger Vortex"

Cool! Amy Farrah Fowler and Howard Wolowitz both liked Neil Diamond.

Moreover, they expressed their like in such an over-the-top way that even though it was supposed to be funny, I could not help wanting to join in as well.

And oh, yes, other people were in this episode too. But who really cares about them?

Movie Song of the Week: “America”

From 1980's The Jazz Singer, it's Neil “You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet” Diamond singing one of his most famous songs. And who's that sitting in the audience next to Sir Laurence Olivier? Could it be Lucie Arnaz? It's about time she was represented on this site.



As a bonus, this week I also post the classic song of the same name from 1961's West Side Story. It's one of the few American tunes I've heard that best illustrate the other side of the immigration story. Of course, this isn't the first time I posted it so if you care to see what I've said about this song in the past, please go here.

I hope you all enjoy both tunes.
