"I’m not enamoured by cool, because cool doesn’t last too long. There’s always a new generation, and what was cool before is no longer cool. Fortunately, one of the reasons I’ve been able to do this for so long is that I’ve never been considered cool and I’ve never had to bow to anybody’s concept of what I was – either the press or the paying customers. Being cool is not what I do. I try to be honest. And it was unnecessary for me to be cool. I was doing something more important than being cool"
That’s singer/songwriter/journeyman Neil Diamond for you. Could have been the straighter one from Anil Kumble, watsay?

couldn't be any closer to our AK...
had he acted cool...we wont see him taking 600+ wickets...
for him being cool was as unnecessary...
on the other hand, he sure has come a long way, baby. Today's Jumbo is sharper, cleanshaven, wellgroomed - and says, "every single team" to Pathan in the IOC premium ad.
still not cool thankfully.
otherwise would end up like dada dancing with hrithik (hero honda ad)
that's "every single time", tho team would be funnier
that was the worst ad...(hh one)
Describes him to the T!!
Absolutely true! On a different note,hope midway through the Nagpur test we won't be singing 'Wish you were here'!
AM - i doubt it. be more like "the lunatic is on the grass". bhajji's back.
how true about , 'lunatic is on the grass' for bhajji.
Diamond is an all time dude..the honesty in this one is almost endearing:
I am, I cried!
I am, said I.
And I am lost, and I can't even say why ..
Cool is as cool does and by that standard Jumbo is one cool dude. Mr. Diamond also said that though money talked but it didnt sing, dance or talk & all of us could join in the chorus for Jumbo ... if we could have you here with us, we'd much rather be, forever in blue jeans!
